HUNTERS POINT SOUTH HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIO · avg 4.1 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: The view is incredible. Building management is responsive. The units are spacious and beautiful. Save from the resident complainers, most of the neighbors I’ve met are lovely and happy to be here. Cons: It can be hard to get off a waitlist for a bigger unit (eg, if you are in a studio and awaiting a 1 bedroom, or if you have kids and need to upgrade to a 2 bedroom).”
— 1-50 50 AVENUE · Queens“Pros: Beautiful neighborhood. Pet friendly. Rooftop garden. Cons: “Terrible management. Unresponsive to tenant concerns, slow (or nonexistent) maintenance, and a complete lack of accountability. They prioritize profits over residents, making even simple requests a frustrating experience. If you’re looking for a landlord that actually cares, look elsewhere. Advice to landlord: Treat all tentants fairly.”
— 1-50 50 AVENUE · Queens“Pros: Fantastic neighborhood with gorgeous views of Manhattan. Cons: Building elevator issues and laundry machines often broken. Mental health issues of a few tenets that make living at this building undesirable at times. . Advice to landlord: Do a better job of cleaning the laundry room. Also have better machines that actually work. Better tenet selection to not allow dangerous and mentally unstable people from moving in. It is not fair to everyone else to live with unstable individuals.”
“Pros: clean building, friendly staff, mostly quiet, lovely little gym, wonderful 14th floor terrace Cons: the laundry room is just a disaster and has been from day one. Endless problems, endless broken machines, I've lost so much money and so much detergent over the years. The elevators tend to break down a lot as well. Advice to landlord: Find a fix for the laundry room problems”
— 1-50 50 AVENUE · Queens“Pros: Prime location, friendly staff, great amenities in building including 24-7 laundromat Cons: Responsiveness of the building management sometimes takes too long.”
— 1-50 50 AVENUE · Queens“Pros: Love that it is near many food places, nice neighborhood and the waterfront is a plus Cons: The apartments are very expensive. A studio apartment is about 2k but I think it is because they are water front views”
— 1-50 50 AVENUE · Queens“Pros: The building comprises of mixed income tenants from diverse backgrounds. The management company is generally responsive, and the maintenance and the front desk staff are excellent. Amenities include: children’s room, gym, Commons Lounge, and BBQ/lounge deck. Cons: About 2-3 years after opening its doors, the building has seen a major water main break that affected a number of floors and units, resulting in many residents having to move into hotels temporarily until their units were repaired. Also, the “wooden” floors scratch and wear off easily. The water is occasionally murky and brown due to water tank (need to run the taps). People moving out warned others on social media that their security deposit could be affected due to the condition of the floors in their units. There’s no ceiling lights in the bedrooms and living rooms. My biggest beef is the misinformation being conveyed to the tenants at the time of move in and during the tenancy. I requested to move to a larger unit, due to my family size increase. I was told that would not be an issue and the tenants in the building would be considered for transfer before those on the outside (waitlist). Many tenants have moved out and yet my family cannot qualify for the available units. Advice to landlord: Consider allowing the current tenants to move to available units in the building. Some of us are long-time tenants who pay our rents on time, send our children to local public schools, and want to remain in the building. Please consider changing the transfer policy to allow more tenants to qualify for other units in the building.”
