Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 47-5 Center Boulevard in Queens reflect a mix of praise and criticism. Tenants value the attractive location, proximity to Gantry Park, impressive views, and well-equipped gym and amenities. The building's staff, especially doormen, receive positive marks for friendliness and helpfulness. However, ongoing multi-year construction and elevator failures cause significant inconvenience with noisy disruptions and long wait times. Management is frequently described as unresponsive, with poor communication and tenant relations. Pest issues and occasional water outages are reported, while rent and fees seem high relative to the services offered. Prospective renters should weigh the benefits against these persistent operational challenges.

One of the worst buildings you can possibly move into
Former Tenant
Pros:
Some of the best support staff, overall relatively clean across all amenities
Cons:
Construction has been going on non-stop for 6 years, hire very cheap contractors who cut corners comprising tenant safety and one elevator serves 31 floors of tenants. Elevators have not worked for 3 years properly and ownership dragged their feet to switch elevators.
Advice to owner:
Sell your property to someone else who knows how to do their job

Building is not worth the price
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean apartment, never hear your neighbors, nice gym and park outside is nice
Cons:
My air conditioner was extremely old and took more than 5+ complaints before they replaced it. Barely worked enough in the summer and my electric bill was sky high. There were a few times my apartment wasn’t the legal regulated requirement in the winter. Once they replaced it, my electric bill was cut in half. However they had to replace the new one again after more issues. It leaked so much water it soaked under the floor through my floorboards.
Elevator situation is terrible, constantly broke and have to wait a long time during morning and evening. The building should’ve been designed with more elevators.
Grills on the deck never work, apparently you have to rent the space to use it.
Advice to owner:
Replace all old AC units with new ones when a tenant moves in. Allow us to use the grills whenever.
