Decent apartment but old
Pros
Great lighting Great space Nice neighbors Fun neighborhood Super is very friendly
Cons
While I loved my apartment, I couldn’t deal with the bugs. Some apartments have them, some don’t so maybe it’s luck of the draw. There’s an exterminator that comes in which is great but unfortunately couldn’t resolve my specific unit. It’s an older building so that’s just how it goes sometimes. Great building otherwise.
Great choice if you can get a rent stabilized apt
Pros
- Apt is large for the price with good closet space, decent bathroom - one of the few truly pet friendly buildings in astoria - amazing location right by train, tons of restaurants, coffee shops, dry cleaner, grocery store, etc. - amenities like dishwasher, laundry in building, elevator - Very nice and responsive super - management company is organized and easy to reach
Cons
- old building (and sloppy neighbors) lead to a lot of DIY pest control - tenants are nice but many refuse to dispose of trash properly in chutes and dump items in the lobby - living next to a hospital is a constant nightmare for noise at all hours - not sure if this is the case for all apartments but very hot temperature both in summer and winter - kitchen is small, no window for air flow
Advice to the owners
Be stricter on tenants who dump their garbage instead of putting it in the chute. Update laundry machine to accept credit cards. Install mirrors and area in lobby for incorrectly addressed mail.
