    Review Summary for 37-40 81 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 37-40 81 STREET in Queens, NY 11372 paint a mixed picture. Tenants appreciate proximity to transportation but criticize poor management responses, lack of heat and hot water for extended periods, and various maintenance issues. Despite some positive aspects like friendly neighbors and spacious apartments, issues with unresponsive staff, pests, and infrastructure problems dampen the overall experience. Suggestions include better communication and prompt action from management. While some recommend staying due to friendly residents, the consensus leans towards dissatisfaction with management's handling of essential services and building upkeep.

    Slum at full price.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The only thing good about this building is that it is close to transportation.
    Cons:
    You will never get a response from management or the super that is not a lie. We currently have no heat or hot water for 12 days and the temperature outside is below freezing. The superintendent plays the victim when asked for an update. He complains that he is bullied by management to try and garner pity from tenants.
    Advice to owner:
    Do better.

    Not a bad place to live.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The people are nice.
    The apartment is massive.
    Pest control was pretty on time.
    Cons:
    A&E are not always responsive.
    Super took a while to get things done.
    I had several issues in the apartment that continuously happened without properly getting fixed.
    Advice to owner:
    Answer the emails.
