Review Summary for 31-12 36 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 31-12 36 Street reveal a well-located building with clean, well-laid-out apartments offering good lighting, soundproofing, and strong water pressure. Neighbors are generally decent, and the area feels safe and quiet. However, significant drawbacks include poor heating, ineffective pest control with cockroach issues, and inconsistent garbage management. The overwhelming concern among tenants is the landlord's intrusive, disrespectful, and often hostile behavior, which severely impacts tenant comfort and privacy. Maintenance and responsiveness are frequently criticized as inadequate or problematic. While the building itself has potential, the management style and unresolved issues make it a risky choice for renters seeking a peaceful living environment.

Great Apartment, Strange Owner
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, good lighting
Cons:
Landlord's motivations are often difficult to understand. Apartment got down to 56 degrees F in the winter and she told us to open the bedroom doors as the means to heat the living room. Stares at anyone entering the building or waiting outside if they aren't a tenant to the point of making you very uncomfortable.

Crazy landlord don’t come
Former Tenant
Pros:
No pros worth dealing with landlord
Cons:
The owner, Maria is an absolute maniac. She has made living here hell. She decided to start painting the apartment the day we moved in - literally, as we were moving boxes and furniture in. She had 2 full weeks to do this. The bathroom also was not ready on our arrival (this isn’t a new apartment!) and we had to use the bathroom in an empty unit next door for the first week. Then, this winter, our fridge broke. She told us it was our fault (it wasn’t) and didn’t replace it for 2 months because she didn’t want to pay $200 more for a fridge that could have been there immediately. Again, she told us to use the fridge in the empty unit next door - which she also uses for herself. She constantly makes up reasons to come inside our apartment. It’s one thing after another. And now when we are trying to move out, she makes it impossible to mail out boxes or sell furniture without absolutely berating us at every step. She got mad at me for selling my furniture without telling her, and literally screamed at me in the hallway as i was trying to move it out, then closed the door on me to lock me out. She banged on our door and repeatedly called me one night at MIDNIGHT for leaving a box in the hallway. If you want an apartment where you can live your own life, free from constant interference and harassment from your landlord, don’t live here! She also kept our security deposit even though the apartment was completely undamaged.
Advice to owner:
You’re a bad person!
