First off let me start off by saying this lefrak has been home for 20+ yrs n family 30+ the reviews I'm seeing here are mostly true but I beg to differ about the ones claiming ppl that live here r on section 8 or low income housing because the longtime residents are paying close too if not the same high ass rent as newcomers n they r tryna push out the old residents raising their lease every year and was always working n middle class people living here u wanna complain about it being hood n ghetto there r 10x worse places u... read more

PLEASE DONT MOVE HERE. As some of the other comments said. It is impossible to get help from the manager. You're better off fixing things yourself because they will send you through loophole after loophole. You'll wait weeks to get a response. Then there are the pests. I keep a very clean home, I mop, sweep, don't leave dishes or food out, take garbage out every night and ect and I have seen mice and ROACHES in my apt. One time I went to throw out my garbage and opened the door to the chute and someone left their trash on th... read more

This review will be filtered via the yelp standards, as this is my fist time using this, but i feel people should know.....The security at the front door is useless. as a female i feel uncomfortable when there is a group of people waiting at the door waiting for people to let them in. especially when it's after 12AM. The security doesn't bat an eye. When i first moved here a 21yo was murdered outside in the parking lot then they implemented a new security system to only allow people who have access to cars into the parking ... read more

I just moved in 2 months ago the apartment size is very spacious but they are infested with roaches and Maintance doesn't respond to your calls or messages. They only have a exterminator come one time a week during 12-4 when hard working people have to work they don't make any exceptions they give you the number to the building manager who never returns your call. You spend $1800 a month to deal with infestation it's not worth the money especially when most people in the building are on section 8. The lease says no dogs but ... read more

If you plan on moving to Lefrak City, please stay far far away from this apartment complex for your own good. They recently remodeled the entrances, so it looks really nice from the outside, but this is a bait to get you to live here. When it comes to the management, it is a nightmare any time you have an issue. First of all, getting in contact with the managers is IMPOSSIBLE. Just to pretend they care, they send you to their assistant (Anastasia) who takes the notes but nothing gets done. Sorry, but I pay a lot to live ... read more

Living in an apartment that smells of decomposed body for two weeks, rodents biting through the wall, and no one taking any interest in cleaning it, is unacceptable. Stay away as far as possible!!! A neighbor next door passed away and his body was decomposing for a week or more, therefore our neighboring apartment smelled of a decomposing body for close to 2 weeks. Not a faint smell, but overpowering smell. Even after they took him out the smell was still lingering in our apartment - kitchen, living room, 1 bedroom, dining... read more

Worst place to live in, infested with roaches and mice, stairwells smell like piss and are full of graffiti. People smoke weed in the stairs and not an overall safe neighborhood To live in anyway.

LeFrak City is trying to market itself as a new up and coming Apartment complex in NYC, BUT STAY AWAy! your better off spend your money somewhere else. This place SO MANY FLAWS I'm going to list them one by one. 1) MANAGEMENT- they are the ones trying to market this place as new and a nice place to live, but it will never be that way mostly because of them. If you ever have a problem they are no help. From the first day, when I was moving in, it was horrible. THE STAFF LEAVES EARLY even if you have scheduled a appointmen... read more

Lefrak has always been pet friendly and now you can't walk your dogs on the grounds. They are locking gates everywhere so if you live on the Horace Harding side, you will have to go all the way around lefrak to shop at the supermarket on the 57th Ave side. I wish I could give no stars. Lefrak is starting to feel more like a prison than home. Thanks a lot to the new owners. In the winter there is always a problem with the heat. Lefrak is no longer a great place to live.
