Recent reviews of buildings managed by Christopher Zapata reveal a mixed management experience. Tenants appreciate clean common areas, well-maintained elevators, and attentive superintendents who handle maintenance requests promptly. Many buildings offer convenient laundry access on multiple floors and good heating. However, issues persist with aging unit conditions, including outdated floors, thin walls causing noise disturbances, and occasional pest problems like rodents and roaches. Some residents cite concerns over mildew in hallways and insufficient building updates. While responsiveness is generally good, certain locations suffer from noise and communal area upkeep, suggesting room for improvements in soundproofing and infrastructure modernization.

Great UES location

Pros

Short walk to Central Park Laundry on most floors Elevator

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Love Jackson Heights

Pros

The super and wife have been in the building for 3 years and maintain the building in top shape! I appreciate that they keep the building clean and the work orders get done on Fridays. They have renovated the elevator which is great!

Cons

The laundry machines can be improved. The noise level has been fine and we have been able to manage it. I gave it 4 stars since we have new neighbor and noise level has slightly increased. We knew there was an apartment vacant and asked the landlord about any vacancies and said they didn’t have any which it’s clear that they are not posting them to the public. Perhaps they have a waiting list.
