New York City apartment reviews & building reports

"Disgusting owner and super. If you like your walls covered with feces and to be harassed constantly than this is the destination for you. The super is a raging pervert and harasses any woman in the building he deems defenseless enough to get away with sexually harassing. The good news is he has access to your apartment with or without you there and will make sure your aware of it by walking in on you or trying to open it randomly for no reason at all. The owners are Jewish so besides their overall carelessness and lack of regard for human beings they are also unavailable for long extended periods of times due to their holiday requirements."

"Lived in the main level. It was an illegally made apartment. Infested with mice and roaches. Massive flooding events throughout the year that damage furniture, clothing, toys etc... floor board lift and separate causing Injury. Under the floor board in the " living room " area is a hole under the floor board. Flooding with come in from both front and back doors of the unit. Horrible Horrible living conditions."

"⭐ 1-STAR REVIEW — ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: THIS PROPERTY NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION 104-09 177th Street, Jamaica, Queens, NY 11433 This review is being written because something needs to change. This is not a request for luxury accommodations. It is a demand for the basic maintenance, safety, sanitation, and dignity that residents should be able to expect from their home. The documented HPD history supplied for this property contains more than 40 violation entries dating back to 2007. The records include recurring issues involving rodents, roaches, leaks, plumbing, doors, ceilings, walls, safety equipment and other maintenance conditions. And this is not simply ancient history. On August 13, 2026, HPD documented six violations specifically for Apartment 2F, including: 🔴 Mice throughout the apartment — Class C 🔴 Roaches throughout the apartment — Class C 🔴 Visible mold in the bathroom — Class A 🔴 Defective toilet/water closet — Class A 🔴 Leaking/defective bathtub faucets — Class B 🔴 Broken/defective entrance door — Class B ENOUGH. How many complaints does it take before a tenant's living conditions are taken seriously? How many inspections? How many violations? How many calls? How many repair requests? How many times should a tenant have to explain that mice and roaches throughout an apartment are unacceptable? A tenant should not have to live with the fear of finding rodents or insects in their home. A tenant should not have to tolerate mold in a bathroom. A tenant should not have to repeatedly report plumbing problems. A tenant should not have to worry about whether their apartment door is properly secured. And residents should be able to have legitimate family members and guests visit their home without being subjected to unnecessary arguments, confrontation, or intimidation. The tenant has reported alleged incidents involving intimidation and confrontational behavior toward guests. Those allegations should be properly documented and independently investigated rather than ignored. THIS PROPERTY NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY — NOT ANOTHER QUICK FIX. If an exterminator comes in one day and sprays the apartment but the conditions that allow pests to enter remain, that isn't a permanent solution. If mold is wiped away but the source of the moisture remains, that isn't a permanent solution. If a broken fixture is temporarily patched instead of properly repaired, that isn't a permanent solution. If a violation is marked corrected but the condition later returns, someone needs to ask why. The answer should not be another complaint followed by another temporary repair. THE OWNER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THE ROOT PROBLEMS. That means: ✔️ Properly eliminate the mice infestation. ✔️ Properly eliminate the roach infestation. ✔️ Identify and seal pest entry points. ✔️ Identify and repair sources of moisture. ✔️ Properly remediate mold. ✔️ Repair the defective toilet. ✔️ Repair the leaking bathtub faucets. ✔️ Repair or replace the defective door. ✔️ Inspect the apartment for additional hidden conditions. ✔️ Correct any remaining violations. ✔️ Document the repairs. ✔️ Have the property reinspected. ✔️ Make sure the conditions stay corrected. THIS SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A TENANT TO BE A FULL-TIME INSPECTOR. People rent apartments because they need a place to live. They should not have to become investigators, exterminators, repair coordinators and legal advocates simply to obtain basic housing conditions. The extensive history associated with this property deserves attention from HPD, tenant advocates, legal organizations, elected representatives and, where appropriate, investigative journalists. And if other tenants have experienced similar problems, they should document their experiences as well. To the owner/management: This is an opportunity to do the right thing. Don't wait for another violation. Don't wait for another complaint. Don't wait for another tenant to escalate the matter. Fix the problems. Fix them correctly. Fix the underlying causes. And keep them fixed. To NYC housing authorities: Please don't simply look at individual violations in isolation. Look at the pattern. Look at the history. Look at the repeat conditions. Look at the current inspection. Look at the tenant complaints. Look at whether previous repairs actually solved the problems. And determine whether additional enforcement or inspection is necessary. To prospective tenants: Do your homework before renting here. Check the official HPD records. Check 311. Ask questions. Inspect carefully. Speak with residents if possible. THIS IS SOMEONE'S HOME. People deserve to sleep without worrying about rodents. People deserve to use their bathrooms without defective plumbing. People deserve a home free of roaches and avoidable mold conditions. People deserve a secure entrance. People deserve to receive legitimate guests without intimidation. 1/5 ⭐ — URGENT ACTION IS NEEDED"
