Safe and Affordable
Former Tenant
Pros:
I like that the super and porter live on-site, so if you need something, you can get immediate resolutions. Also like that there is laundry on-site, and generally not crowded.
Cons:
I dislike that some of the windows are old and not properly sealed, so they leak heat. Also dislike that the walls are thin: I can hear my neighbors through the bathroom cabinet, as well as anyone talking in the hallway. Wish there was better sound insulation.
Advice to owner:
Not applicable.

Medium size rental building in Downtown Flushing
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good quiet and responsible neighbors. Not many young people. More elderly and families. 2 elevators for six floors that work. 2 staircases.
Cons:
No central air. Laundry card machine broken. Parking in the garage is very expensive for the area. Very old and cheaply maintained building. No security, people let others in. Too many old keys for door, no key cards, no simple remote keys. The basement where laundry and garage is, smells like nasty hot garbage.
Biggest con: very loud next to train tracks, the building moves every time train comes by.
Advice to owner:
Become more technologically advanced. Better rental process and move in/move out process, better updated online system for renters to check their rent status or work order status, remote keys or keyless entry, like other buildings.
