    Review Summary for 34-27 74 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 34-27 74 STREET, Queens highlight the building's positive location, decent cleanliness, and responsive super. However, concerns arise regarding the lack of a trash chute, limited laundry room hours, and occasional rudeness from the office. Some units face challenges like sealed windows for AC installation. On the downside, reports of racism, poor pest control, and unprofessional management are prominent issues. Suggestions include increased maintenance, better pest control, and improved staff professionalism. While some residents recommend the building due to its location and quiet atmosphere, others strongly advise against it due to severe management and maintenance issues.

    Great location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location’s good. Each floor has four units, two facing the street two facing the back. Street-facing ones have better view. Super is usually responsive. Most tenants are families so things are quiet after dark.
    Cons:
    No trash chute. Tenants need to bring the trash down. Laundry room is not 24/7, only from 8-21. And the office can be rude/ignorant sometimes. Some windows are installed shut, so there’s not a lot of options you can put your AC.
    Advice to owner:
    More maintenance for public areas like stairways and laundry room.

    Racist Super and management. Violoating the rights of all the tenants
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The tenants are friendly and deserve much better
    Cons:
    Where do I begin? The super doesn’t do his job, and his wife is extremely rude and disrespectful to the tenants. They give off a very racist vibe towards the tenants. They do not manage the pests in the building and the roach infestation is unmanageable. Pest control never actually comes to spray even though there is a sign up sheet. The laundry machines don’t work properly and management never gets them fixed. God forbid they out an “out of order” sign so that people can avoid having their money eaten. They do not follow COVID protocols, and the cleanliness is not up to par. The management company as a whole is useless, and every interaction is a headache. The office is rude and dismissive, and also give off racist vibes. They treat their tenants as if we need them, however they need us. Everyone in the building complains about the Super and management and everyone feels the same way.
    Advice to owner:
    Fire the super and hire someone who will actually do the job. Your tenants know their rights and you are withholding your legal responsibility to your tenants. Expect some lawsuits to come your way.
