    Review Summary for 21-77 33 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 21-77 33 Street, Queens, NY reveal a building in a prime location with close access to transport, restaurants, and parks. Tenants appreciate the neighborhood and spacious units. However, the building suffers from significant maintenance and management issues: persistent pest infestations (rats and roaches), poor garbage management, and unreliable heating and utilities. Communication with the landlord and management is frequently described as unresponsive, rude, and unprofessional, leading to frustration over unresolved repairs and misinformation. Despite the great area and potential, renters caution prospective tenants due to these ongoing building upkeep and management deficiencies.

    Glad to move out
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location. Close to train
    Cons:
    No gas in apartment= no working stove or oven for almost 2 years because the landlord is the worst.
    Appliances were mostly refurbished and/or didn’t work well.
    Building needs maintenance; Courtyard needs lots of TLC
    Landlord was garbage and rude
    Over 3 years ago
    Needs a lot of work
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very close to all restaurants/bars and only steps away from the train station
    Cons:
    The building is infested with rats. You’ll almost always see a rat running around the courtyard or the sidewalk. Also we had a big roach problem when we first moved in and now it’s just mild but still they pop up constantly. The place overall smells when you first walk in
    Advice to owner:
    Clean up the courtyard. Figure out the rat issue and maintain the building better where it doesn’t look so dirty.
