    Senile landlord who has no idea what he's doing. No response from super unless you harassing them with multiple messages and still hardly get a response.

    OK for price and location but not ideal
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Below median rent price for Astoria. Building is in a great location, close to everything you need.
    Cons:
    Poor responsiveness to building issues, poor trash management, lost heat/hot water too many times due to aging boiler.
