Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews indicate that the building at 64-45 Booth Street in Queens boasts a good location and responsive superintendent. However, persistent issues with roaches, poor maintenance, outdated infrastructure like elevators, and frequent water shutdowns are major concerns. Tenants emphasize the need for prompt management responses, upgrades to plumbing systems, and better pest control measures. While some suggest the building's renovation and upkeep are lacking, there is recognition of spacious units and quiet neighbors. Overall, improvements in building maintenance and communication with tenants are crucial for a more positive living experience.

Not Great, Not Awful
Former Tenant
Pros:
-- good location -- neighbors on my floor were quiet -- superintendent was responsive and tried his best -- pet-friendly -- never had bugs or rats/mice in my apartment (can't speak for anyone else) -- windows all work and had screens, and are large -- decent square footage for the price -- decent maintenance of the front grassy areas -- in-building laundry -- my unit had been renovated somewhat recently -- silly little "appreciation gifts" like free cookies at Christmas, free ice cream on 4th of July
Cons:
-- elevator broken for at least 24 hours, at least once a month -- hot water off for at least 24 hours, at least once a month -- ALL water off for at least 4 hours every other month -- serious pipe bursts "fixed" by painting; there's definitely mold in this place, and I am suspicious of the electrical situation as well, just based on how many large-scale pipe bursts we've had where water was *shooting* out of the outlets and light fixtures -- building front door knob/lock often broken for 24 hours (meaning anyone could get in) -- got the sense that management did not support superintendent; he often seemed to know what was wrong and how to fix it, but couldn't get them to order parts, arrange contractors, etc. -- "back yard" inaccessible and unmaintained -- in-building laundry area very small, dirty, and unmaintained, with few washers/dryers -- cupboards do not close due to being painted over for decades -- many of the other units I saw had definitely NOT been renovated recently -- overall feeling of grungy old-ness...I don't know a better way to describe it...like nothing is really clean, and nothing will EVER really be clean
Advice to owner:
FIX/UPGRADE the pipes/boiler/plumbing/whatever and the elevator
