104-40 Queens Boulevard,

Queens, NY 11375

I’ve lived here for almost 3 years and can’t really complain. The building is clean, the doormen and maintenance guys are lovely and it’s pet friendly.

Construction has been going on for over 2 years and is about to start up again. The building also faces a middle school so it’s loud during the day with recess and band rehearsal.

Proximity to Trader Joe’s, subway and local shops all within short walking distance. 24/7 doorman which gives a sense of security.

Very expensive compared to other supposedly luxury 24/7 doorman bldgs,. in the same neighborhood. Very noisy and heat level is on the low side. Bldg has control over the electricity bill.

Large units with balconies, very close to lots of transportation options, nice to have a package room with great building staff.

- Elevators are frequently out of order, troubling for a building with 22 floors - Laundry room often has multiple broken machines and has had broken machines for weeks, no sign of repairs in the works - 2 1/2 years of construction with earsplitting noise, more construction to come - Water shuts off once or twice a month, usually without warning because the pipes are busted - Water in the bathroom is a pink color often - Several aggressive dogs in the building that are definitely over the "weight limit," my own dog has been attacked multiple times - Certain units are in alcoves and have only one exit - troubling in case of an emergency and that ONE exit is blocked (or, as has been the case for the past 2 1/2 years, under construction) - Lights flicker often - Management is unresponsive - I requested documents several times in December and still haven't received them - Annual rent increases with no helpful improvements - raised by $300 for us recently despite our unit being older and hasn't been updated since 1990 (according to the newspapers we found shoved into our AC unit) - Rent and utility bills are combined (convenient), but you can't get separate utility bills for proof of address (inconvenient) - Not a very accessible building - there is a ramp to enter and the main and back doors have accessible entrances, but that's the end of it. Many doors to garbage rooms, the laundry rooms, and certain units can not be propped open and don't have accessibility options. Even if you don't have any mobile impairments, if you need to bring something big/heavy anywhere it's a challenge.

no fee rentals, doormen are great, service requests processed fast, well maintained

walls could be thicker

keep up good work, less construction if possible

Clean, Apartment size, 24 doorman

Overpriced, Constant construction

To not charge such high rents in relation to other full service bldgs. in the same neighborhood.

Issues are addressed promptly. Building is well taken care of and common areas are cleaned frequently, so no rodent problems (thank goodness). A lot of community activities, especially great for families. Lovely courtyard. Lots of building amenities including doorman, on-site cafe, gyms and parking (for a fee). Great neighborhood.

Some of their policies around moving furniture in / out of the building are a little ridiculous but other than that, no complaints. Also, if you’re working from home I don’t suggest a courtyard-facing apartment. They hold many events in the courtyard that are extremely disruptive and distracting for those of us conducting business from home.

Thanks for creating a great place to live for your tenants.
