Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews highlight buildings managed by METROPOLIS REALTY as a mixed bag. While some tenants appreciate the friendly neighbors, nice management, and modern amenities like keyless entry, others have faced issues like thin walls, noisy neighbors, and unresponsive landlords leading to legal threats for deposit return. Recommendations include improving landlord responsiveness, maintaining amenities like intercoms, and addressing high energy bills and power outages promptly. Despite varying experiences, well-maintained buildings with conscientious neighbors make it an attractive option for those seeking a quieter living environment in certain areas of Queens.

Pros

98% amazing neighbors, nice management, super in building, just added keyless entry

Cons

building itself is on the older side, can be a bit slow to fix things but nothing horrible

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

2020 - 30-27 30th street

Pros

Modern building, good area

Cons

thin walls, can hear neighbors, unusually high energy bills. Power frequently cut out. Horrible landlord that ignored all correspondence not related to paying rent, and we had to threaten legal action to finally make him return our security deposit.

Advice to the owners

Need better responsiveness to tenants.
