    Review Summary for 48-53 44 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 48-53 44 STREET, Queens, NY 11377 point out significant concerns. Residents highlight inadequate maintenance, poor management responsiveness, noise issues, pest problems, and theft incidents. Despite spacious units and good water pressure, ongoing issues with heating, neighbor disturbances, and outdated facilities persist.

Although the area and some neighbors receive positive feedback, overall dissatisfaction with management's lack of action raises doubts about the building's quality of living.

    Old building, no maintenance, noise and no response from management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartments are big and the layout is very good. Good amount of natural light.
    Cons:
    Walls are thin and so you’ll hear all your neighbors. Of course, some neighbors are more respectful than others regarding that. Problems with heat were common too. Management was impossible to be reached. Parties being thrown that would be heard at the whole building section. Very old elevator and non-taken care of lobby. Problems with packages being stolen.
    Advice to owner:
    Invest some money and effort in creating a good community of people living together by taking care of noises, parties, package theft.
    Offer reasonable heat
    Respond to calls

    Disgusting
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Initially clean with good, long term neighbors. Spacious floor plans.
    Cons:
    Nothing has been maintained over our years here. Lobby has steadily declined as walls, fireplace, and pediment were damaged and never repaired. Christmas lights have been hanging in the lobby continuously since 2017. Never a response from management regarding any issues. Caliber of tenants has steadily declined.
    Advice to owner:
    Do anything at all.
