    Review Summary for 482 Seneca Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 482 Seneca Avenue, Queens highlight mixed experiences. Tenants appreciate spacious apartments and a rooftop but face challenges like small fridges, fly issues, package theft, and basic gym facilities. Some commend central air and good room sizes but note drawbacks like inadequate trash management and dog waste in yards. The building's aesthetics and amenities receive praise, yet recurring issues such as power outages, mold, and laundry machine shortages detract from the overall experience. The neighborhood is quiet, but concerns about neighbor behavior and parking lot access arise, impacting the building's appeal.
