Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 21-48 35 Street, Queens, NY 11105 underscore its convenient location near Ditmars and generally quiet atmosphere with decent neighbors. Many units show surface-level renovations and allow pets, which tenants appreciate. However, persistent issues include poor heating control, unreliable water pressure, and frequent pest problems, especially rats and roaches. Garbage management and cleanliness in hallways often fall short, contributing to a perception of overall mismanagement. The building suffers from unresponsive management and maintenance, with unresolved repairs such as roof leaks and mold concerns. While some tenants recommend the building for its positives, the majority advise better upkeep and more attentive landlord responsiveness to improve living conditions.

new management is a little better but still room for growth
Former Tenant
Pros:
Courtyard is nice with lots of birds and squirrels; quiet separation from street (We are in a central building)
Cons:
Heat goes way too high and no control over it; no central air; bathroom has lots of issues; several spots appear to have mold growing under the paint? Laundry machines are mildly functional and often take your $ without running. Not enough outlets in unit
Advice to owner:
Keep a better eye on the heating system and maintenance of laundry machines; make sure mold/water damage is eliminated fully

Not the worst, but not good.
Former Tenant
Pros:
1. Neighbors are reasonable with sound. Met quite a few nice neighbors here. 2. Without the location, there would be nothing good to say about it. Ditmars is great.
Cons:
Incompetence at every level, unfortunately. 1. Security is non-existent. Laundry rooms gets full of outsiders(you can easily tell) and you are sometimes unable to use it. A neighbor also told me there was a squatter that sneaks onto the roof and goes into empty apartments through the fire escape, they also stole a package..can't confirm but I do hear strange clanging sounds that wake me up sometimes. 2. Non-responsive superintendent. Me and several other neighbors had a roof leak a few months ago when the historic rains hit us. The roof is moldy and part of the roof is drooping. We haven't received any updates or response about it getting fixed. 3. Apartment was not received clean, I spent a week and over a dozen paper towel rolls getting dust off. The "renovations" done to the apartment are complete slop-jobs: painted over mold and very old worn out wood. The wood floor has no finish so it gets dirty very easily, the owner clearly does not care about the apartment.
