Poop on cieling and bad elevators
Former Tenant
Pros:
Men at front desk and worker men in building very nice
Cons:
Poop on the ceiling. Elevators always broken. All bathroom in gym and sky lounge always close. Many people smoking cigarette and marijuana in building. Television in lounges always broken. Too much construction inside and outside building. My face cream go missing.
Advice to owner:
No more poop on ceiling and very expensive for old building

Luxury Building but worth it
Former Tenant
Pros:
Handymen respond within the day or next day. Super friendly front door people. Great amenities.
Cons:
Lots of amenities have issues. Example: the electronic key system to access the amenities areas are not calibrated so it will only be open an hour after the area is supposed to be open. Some doors don't work at all. The Peleton bikes in the gym have issues that aren't fixed.
Advice to owner:
Should give vouchers to residents given that many amenities have issues.

Amazing experience overall
Former Tenant
Pros:
Only positive things to share after one year living at Linc. The people are what make this apartment building special - the doormen are extremely kind and considerate, often greeting us by name and being incredibly helpful. Maintenance responds to tickets quickly and efficiently and the building is very well maintained. We have no complaints and wish we could afford to stay longer - would highly recommend Linc!!!
Cons:
I found a cockroach once or twice, in one year
Advice to owner:
Thank you!

Clean apartment with nice amenities
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice amenities, clean facilities, amazing doormen
Cons:
It took a while for them to update me into the tenant system because I had replaced my roommate’s previous roommate. The doorman requested the housing office to do it when I moved in, took like two months for the housing office to actually execute.

More pricy than it’s worth
Former Tenant
Pros:
Friendly staff. Great location. Next to food cellar and all restaurants
Cons:
RUDE neighbors, a lot of spoiled kids with rich parents who are still going to school. Very obnoxious manners. Expect your repair request to delay at least 2 weeks before it’s fixed. So far, I have exchanged the AC, drier, dishwasher… and let’s see what’s broken next
Advice to owner:
Update your facility. Be more selective of who you rent it to, and treat your long time renters nicer!

Perfect location, awesome staff but subpar amenities
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Love the doormen for the most part (except for the building manager and his lil posees). There’s def politics going on there. - Perfect location. Near major subway lines Lots of great new restaurants nearby - Street parking isn’t as terrible as other areas in lic
Cons:
- Subpar amenities. During covid, there were a lot of restrictions but even after a year, use of rooftop is limited. Couldn’t bring more than 2 guests per resident. - ugly parquet floors and outdated kitchen - Beware of move out process. They will try to nickel and dime you.
Advice to owner:
Treat your employees better. Replace the building manager. Some of my fav doormen left because of him

Amazing doormen, horrible landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen are friendly, helpful, and absolutely wonderful. Great maintenance staff as well.

Landlord (large, corporation that owns multiple buildings in LIC and Manhattan) is pretty horrible - raises rent and charges fees at every opportunity.
Advice to owner:
Treat your tenants and staff better.

Cozy and Convenient
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to subways and easy to get to just about anywhere in the city. Building is kept very clean and COVID Protocols are in place. Most neighbors are following the mask rules. Amenities are great and the 31st floor deck has stunning views of the Manhattan Skyline. Apartments are very spacious compared to the competition in the area. Staff is very friendly and building manager is very helpful.
Cons:
Floors in the apartments could use an upgrade. Gym equipment is pretty old, still has connectors for iPods, who even still has one? (Equipment is usable and well maintained but a nice building like this should have more modern equipment)
Advice to owner:
Building is well run and maintained. Some community events would be nice, maybe after COVID is done.
