    Review Summary for 719 Seneca Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants at 719 Seneca Avenue in Queens praise the neighborhood and friendly neighbors. However, they express frustration with the unresponsive and negligent landlord, citing issues with maintenance, security deposit disputes, and poor communication. Concerns include subpar repairs, pest problems, and inadequate garbage management. Despite some positives like the convenient location near transportation, tenants advise limiting occupancy and urge the owner to prioritize tenant well-being and compliance with NYC housing laws. Sadly, the consensus leans towards not recommending this building due to the owner's shortcomings and lack of care for residents.

    Great Neighborhood, Terrible Landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location and great neighbors.
    Cons:
    The landlord was extremely difficult to get ahold of. The work he had done to the water damage around the apartment was subpar if it actually ever happened. It’s been 8 months and he completely ghosted about the security deposit and overcharged me for it. I will be going to small claims court.
    Advice to owner:
    Care more about your tenants living conditions and read up on NYC housing laws.

    Beware of Landlord Better Not Call …
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I enjoyed the neighbors and the people I’m the building. The surrounding areas are fantastic.
    Cons:
    The Landlord has been the absolute worst person I’ve ever rented from. He is completely unresponsive and truly doesn’t care about his tenants. He is a crooked man, shadow like personality.
    Advice to owner:
    He isn’t a human in the sense of emotions. He is a man out to try and scam people for money. I have no advice
