    Review Summary for 23-24 31 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants at 23-24 31 Avenue, Queens, appreciate the proximity to Astoria, quiet nights, and reasonable pricing. However, concerns about frequent package theft, outdated infrastructure, and pest issues have been raised. Tenants value the helpful landlord and quiet environment but highlight the need for addressing security issues and building maintenance. Mixed opinions exist regarding rent stabilization and landlord responsiveness. Overall, the building's affordability and location are appealing, but improvements in security measures and building upkeep are suggested for an enhanced living experience.

    A totally fine place in Astoria
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Relatively close to the heart of Astoria, but generally pretty quiet at night. Great price for my 1 bedroom. The Landlord is pretty helpful in general. Charming, if old.
    Cons:
    Packages were stolen relatively often, possibly internally, and this was never addressed. Floors aren’t particularly flat, kitchen counters are a terrible beige laminate, overall fit and finish shows the age of the apartment.
    Advice to owner:
    Do something about the package theft, and first apartment downstairs.

    Unsecure & unstable
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Family friendly, close to subway, parks, restaurants, ferry.
    Cons:
    It’s very old building from ‘26 and is falling apart. (from walls to floors). You can’t control the heating. Girls above us on 3rd floor had bed-bugs. Landlord will never return security deposit to you.
