    Review Summary for 61-17 68 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants at 61-17 68 Avenue praise the responsive and reasonable landlord alongside a helpful live-in super, monthly pest control, and strong water pressure. The building offers spacious units with ample closet space and beautiful original floors, making it attractive for families and long-term residents. Its proximity to the train is a major convenience, although some face train noise and occasional pest presence. Repairs can be slow and minimal, reflecting the building's older condition that requires ongoing maintenance. Despite rent increases and occasional noise, the community atmosphere and overall management make it a recommended choice for renters seeking space and convenience in Queens.

    Great building, easy landlord, sad that prices keep climbing
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Live-in super is very nice and responsive. Landlord is also very responsive and reasonable. I had an electric issue and he had a guy out the next day, immediately fixed. Exterminator comes once a month, I recommend you get your area sprayed because it is a large building. Good sound insulation.
    Cons:
    Depending on where your windows face you may hear some train noise

    Lived here for quite a few years - not the worst
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lots of tenants who have been living there for a long time. Very family-oriented. Close to the train. Rent stabilized. Rate box-style apartments that are hard to find in Ridgewood. Tons of closet space. Beautiful original floors. Good super as of 2022. Decent rent-stabilized rent.

    IF YOUR LEASE IS NOT RENT STABILIZED, GET YOUR RENT HISTORY. Many units were destabilized in the 2010s, some likely illegally.
    Cons:
    New people coming in and out after only a year or two. Very hard to get repairs. Minimum done when they finally come in. Building is old and needs continuous work.
