Good building to live in if you can tolerate traffic noise
Pros
Good sized apartment, gut renovated with good construction, thick walls. Elevator and laundry building, with nice clean and bright hallways. Never seen a problem with package theft. Great rent for the area. Responsive management.
Cons
The area is dirty, noisy and busy, it doesn’t feel like a neighborhood. The building is right in front of the Queens Midtown Tunnel so you will never not see or hear cars. Building repeatedly gets ticketed for disposing of large trash items incorrectly. The super doesn’t live on site so some residents had to take it upon themselves to shovel snow or do smaller building tasks. Elevator is very very small. It’s a 12 min walk to any subway so would not recommend to live here if you have to use the subway to get to work.
Decent building with responsible management
Pros
Management is responsive and attentive. I had issues with refrigerators, pests and plumbing and management always took care of it quickly.
Cons
There were mice in the apartment at one point but pest control came after complaints to management and they plugged the holes where the mice were getting in. No live-in super but still things get resolved in a timely manner.
