Glen Oaks Village

"Nice clean and safe neighborhood thanks to NYC Police department and Glen Oaks security Management is very helpful when you want to have renovations to your unit You can add a whole floor or sundeck to name a couple of add-ons They do put you through a thorough interview But don't you want that if your moving there Maintenance is very reasonable Yes it does go up every few years due to cost from outside sources property taxes,water,etc Best bargain you can find on a co-op in Queens Also ground crew and maintenance workers do a great job"

"Glen Oaks is located in a wonderful part of Queens and has a wonderful elementary and middle school. I love my neighbors and sense community. The only huge drawback is dealing with Glen Oaks management. I recommend all the reviewers that had bad experiences submit a complaint to the NYC Attorney General with all your documentation. Glen Oaks management is so focused on the trivial matters that items such as updating the roll with the City to show that ownership has changed are never done. I only came to realize this when I did not receive my STAR credit to help cover the cost of a special assessment. Glen Oaks of course tried to say it was the city's fault. The city said they have no record of me or even the previous owner's name on the unit. I had to stay on the phone for 4 hours with the city to try to rectify the problem. When I called Glen Oaks and said this is unacceptable and this needed to be corrected before I pay any special assessment, the answer was it doesn't matter that the city roll is not updated the taxes need to be paid. I will be fighting this all the way to court if I have to. Glen Oaks needs to get an overhaul of the whole management team."

"I have been living around this neighborhood for 50 years. In that time the neighborhood has been safe and quiet. It is truly a great place to raise kids and a family. It is also an ideal place for the infirm and the elderly due to its vicinity to Northwell Health."

"Almost the same as other reviewers. Went through so much to get an approval and paid the 400 dollars to get an apartment that is not inspected by management before allowing their shareholders to put it on the market. The bottom kitchen cabinets were in bad condition. We had paid the fee while being guaranteed by the broker that someone would address the issue. When we went to paint the apartment the cabinets had tape and cardboard along the inside. This was their idea of repair. We felt we were being taken advantage of and called off the agreement with the broker who was basically trying to make his money however he could. The owner had finally replaced the cabinet and covered the install but we decided to avoid future issues with all the rules and regulations and agreements you have to sort out. Unfortunately the application fee is taken way before any of this is addressed. They definitely make their money one way or the other. Beautiful community on the outside but very complicated. Becareful if trying to rent."

"Basically stole my $400. I went to see an apartment in early December the realtor told me if I like it I should send him $400 which is the sublet fee to hold the apartment. The apartment is a bit small to my liking but I liked the idea of $3 parking per month anyway I sent the $400 and the realtor sent me a link to the application forms, rules and lease. A week later I gave the required documents to the realtor and he made he signed the lease and dated January 1st eventhough they didnt approved me as yet I informed him that my rent is due on the 20th so I'll move in then he said we can do the 15th. Didn't hear anything until I texted him on the week of the 10th asking how's everything going with the apartment then the following Wednesday the 13th I'm told I have to create a Skype account to do an interview so I can move in the next day. I mentioned to the realtor that I'm unable to do an interview between the hours of 10-3 because I work in Healthcare and I'll have patients; he let me speak to the manager which was no help all she said was do it on your lunch break and I told her I don't have lunch breaks. After that the realtor constantly texting and calling me asking for a day I can do the interview I just got tired of repeating myself that I work Monday to Friday and the earliest I get off is at 3 on Fridays and they're not doing interviews after 3 so there's no point for me to go back and forth so I stopped answering him , he texted me saying that they'll report me to the credit bureau for not responding. I then texted him asked for my $400 back which is the new tenant sublet annual fee and the realtor told me to forget about the $400 because they're out January and have to find someone for February."
