    Review Summary for 141-50 85 Rd
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 141-52 85 Avenue, Queens consistently highlight its spacious apartments, convenient location near transit, and amenities like elevators and on-site laundry. The neighborhood is described as quiet and reasonably safe. However, pervasive pest issues, notably roaches and mice, significantly detract from living quality. Many renters report slow, ineffective owner responsiveness and substandard maintenance, including patchwork repairs and water problems. Garbage management and building upkeep receive mixed feedback, with some citing lingering odors and inadequate cleaning. While rent stabilization and heat/hot water provision are appreciated, frequent complaints about building disrepair, noise, and poor management suggest prospective renters should carefully weigh these factors.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Dog friendly
    Weed friendly
    Lots of staff for building cleaning/maintenance
    Elevator
    Cons:
    Pest- mice and lots of roaches in general (I kept my house as clean as I could)
    They need to cater more to the pets that live in the neighborhood
    Clean up the dog park, let them roam in the gated gardens
    Advice to owner:
    Lower the rent, $2200 for a one bedroom is crazy
    Over 2 years ago
    For the love of everything good stay away from these properties!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The space is amazing by NYC standards, and with the price + heat and hot water heater + rent stabilization it seems too good to be true. The area is quite residential so even at night I have no fear walking about.
    Cons:
    So many. Firstly the buildings are on the older side, so cracks and crevices are aplenty. When I moved in there was a grapefruit sized hole near a pipe that I patched myself. These cracks and crevices beget pests entering in. So far the pests I’ve dealt with have been ants and roaches. Not to mention the constant swarms of flies near the front door during warmer months. When I got the apartment there were several dead roaches of varying species (german, brown banded, and American) but I couldn’t find any sign of a nest. The roaches I have dealt are sparse (0-2 in winter months, 5-10 during summer) and I or my cat catch them so I don’t think they’re in my apartment as I’ve done regular checks but coming in from the walls or from neighboring units. The ants always came with more rain. The tap water will also randomly go brown with particulate matter once every month or so,
    The area itself sorta has this musk of dog poop that gets quite pungent on warm, wet days. Some residents also have dogs who love to bark incessantly when going out so that’s a lovely sound to wake up to.

    There are more cons but these are the most important in my opinion.
    Advice to owner:
    Take property management seriously and actively improve your property so that it doesn’t fall into further disrepair and turn into a true slum.
