    Review Summary for 1618 Jefferson Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews at 1618 Jefferson Avenue in Queens, NY 11385 reveal mixed feedback. While some appreciate the responsive management, nice neighbors, and renovations, others highlight serious issues like chronic bedbugs, unprofessional maintenance, rodent problems, and landlord disputes. The building's cleanliness, garbage management, and pest control seem inconsistent. Suggestions include investing more in maintenance, addressing rodent issues, and improving landlord conduct. Despite some positives like water pressure and good neighbors, the building's drawbacks raise concerns about living quality, particularly regarding repairs, noise levels, and heating issues.

    Horrific CHRONIC Bedbug problem
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Loved the super, she was always so nice and responsive and friendly. Nice renovation, everything felt clean and looked nice
    Cons:
    We got bedbugs in this apartment - not going to say much more than that but when the exterminator came he said to us that there was LITERALLY no way we would ever be rid of the bedbugs in that unit because there was obviously a more serious bedbug infestation elsewhere in the building that the tenant was unwilling to solve. be warned.

    Great Apartment in an Older Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice people, beautiful brick walls, water pressure is amazing, they've done a lot of great renovations, rent stabilized, management is nice and responsive
    Cons:
    maintenance is hard to schedule, halls arent' kept very clean, rat problem outside
    Advice to owner:
    invest more into the building maintenance to address the rodent situation.
