Property is poorly maintained

Pros

Astoria is wonderful, great area

Cons

Buildings and apartments are poorly maintained, and any work completed is done as cheaply as possible. There is no is insulation in the building, drafty and very cold. Front door lock will break and will stay broken for months on end. Tennant pays for heat and hot water.

Great location, great neighbors, terrible building and management

Pros

Location is wonderful, close to great shops and train. The neighbors in the building are wonderful. Noise is minimal and everyone is friendly.

Cons

Management is rude, unresponsive, and sneaky. Called us names over email before we even signed a lease. Maintenance is poor if you even get it, I often would have to call multiple times over months to get 1 response. When fixed, it was often a band-aid and the issue would return. We often went stretches without heat or hot water, or sometimes any water at all. We were rarely notified when scheduled work affected these things. Frequent theft, both of package and property, from the lobby. Upon move out, a large portion of our security deposit was withheld without sound cause. They raised the rent $1000/mo after we left.
