Freezing, Thin Walls
Pros
The neighborhood (Jackson Heights) is lovely. The building itself is clean enough.
Cons
The walls are paper thin. So it gets *freezing* during the winter months - my bedroom was literally in the 50s at night for weeks. And management declined to fix it. For the same reason, you can hear *everything* from the neighbors - upstairs, to your side, even downstairs neighbors. Expect to never have quiet.
Advice to the owners
Turn up the heaters and install soundproofing. Or just install insulation.
No frills spacious apartments, fantastic on-site super
Pros
Elevator, large rooms, no problems with heat/hot water, VERY responsive effective super, love the neighborhood.
Cons
Garbage and pest management has not always been stellar; packages occasionally get stolen from the mailbox area; landlord can be hard to get a hold of.
