What a joke!!!
They have none of what they are listing as amenities done!!
I’ve been living across from this one, in the first one for 7 months and we still don’t have parking spaces, people are smoking 🚬 in the apartments, you can smell 👃 it! This is supposed to be a non smoking building and it’s affecting my health. Walls are paper thin so you hear 👂 everything and everyone!
I’ve written several emails to management and have received no reply, just ignored .
When I moved in we had no mail service and they didn’t even tell me! They said it was the postal service fault and postal service said it was managements fault! They were just passing the buck back and forth!
Had to travel to get my mail in the winter 🥶 and I’m disabled!
Oh yeah, I almost 😅 forgot people keep breaking the front door lock 🔒 and they are also coming in now and stealing our packages 📦! Extremely limited security, but they tell you not to let anyone in! Like I’m gonna stop 🛑 anybody these days and get hurt or killed! All I can say is BUYERS BEWARE!! Regretting moving out here everyday 😡!! Affordable Housing Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be!!!
No wonder its affordable , and you live so far away from everything i wouldnt even move there if its free …thats why i want my astoria area..in queens
