Review Summary for 1-50 50 Ave
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 1-50 50 Ave, Queens, highlights spacious units with impressive Manhattan and waterfront views, a clean and well-maintained environment, and friendly neighbors. The building offers great amenities including a gym, rooftop garden, children's room, and 24/7 laundry facilities. Management is generally responsive, though some tenants express concerns about slow maintenance, elevator reliability, and unaddressed laundry room issues. Tenant transfer policies to larger units have caused frustration, and occasional building challenges such as water main breaks and wear on wooden floors have been reported. Despite some drawbacks, the location and community atmosphere remain strong selling points.

Grateful to live here
Former Tenant
Pros:
The view is incredible. Building management is responsive. The units are spacious and beautiful. Save from the resident complainers, most of the neighbors I’ve met are lovely and happy to be here.
Cons:
It can be hard to get off a waitlist for a bigger unit (eg, if you are in a studio and awaiting a 1 bedroom, or if you have kids and need to upgrade to a 2 bedroom).

Beautiful Place but Management Leaves Little to be desired
Former Tenant
Pros:
Beautiful neighborhood. Pet friendly. Rooftop garden.
Cons:
“Terrible management. Unresponsive to tenant concerns, slow (or nonexistent) maintenance, and a complete lack of accountability. They prioritize profits over residents, making even simple requests a frustrating experience. If you’re looking for a landlord that actually cares, look elsewhere.
Advice to owner:
Treat all tentants fairly.
