— 81-10 135 STREET · Queens“Pros: - marble granite counters - appliances are good, not top notch - new look feel - close to the F and E trains Cons: - new management not great - selection of neighbors - there is a roach problem, when there wasn't one prior (I moved to the building in 2020 and roaches became a thing in 2023) - walls are thin, so you can hear neighbors above and in the hallway - dog haven (barks for days) Advice to landlord: Listen to your tenants and have a better candidate selection process. The new tenants coming in are uneducated, rude, and compliments of housing development projects.”

False complaints - someone complained we smoke cigarettes in the apt but we don’t smoke cigarettes. Advice to landlord: Implement a fine for tenants that are irresponsible dog owners! I have stepped on too much dog shit and have had to battle other dogs that are not leashed. Both of these things are dangerous for other tenants and dogs, as well as unsanitary.”

Exterminator comes on the regular Cons: There seems to be a major issue with ventilation-there isn’t any…there are small grates above the ovens which worked once upon a time but they don’t suck the air out they just leak odors into the hallway.

— 80-08 135 STREET · Queens“Pros: I do not have any pros for this building I am very disappointed with everything with management Cons: This is a new building, there are so many problems in this building, the bathroom has sewage smell, When it is raining your roof will start leaking, There is electricity wiring problems You keep losing electricity. There are too many problems for a new building No one would actually come and fix the issue or repair. They will definitely respond but not initiate to come and fix the problem and if they do it is always partially done and you have to keep following up over and over for the same thing for months. It Takes them over one month to fix one issue in the apartment and that also it is not properly done. Advice to landlord: You collect so much rent from the tenants but the service is not properly provided for the amount of rent we are paying for this building or apartment. Also the people in the management office every time we call they sound like they are sleeping and they are very unhelpful and rude”

Advice to landlord: Figure out the mice”
