Was excited for my #24 Italian hero - - BUT despite having oil & vinegar on it, the sandwich was DRY AF!!! With every bite I felt like I needed a swig of water just to be able to swallow. Not sure how fresh the hero bread was, although soft - it was incredibly dry. Staff was friendly enough, but for +$12.00 the quality has to be better (will give them another try, maybe an off day)

Been living at Kings & Queens properties for almost ten years now & I can’t really say anything positive about their management practices. A few months back my miserable 70 year old upstairs neighbor Beverly Lovell completely flooded her bathroom: she apparently plugged her bathroom sink, turned the water on & went to her bedroom and fell asleep. It was the middle of the day and I was on a conference call with my boss in my living-room when I hear water trickling in the bathroom. Since I was in the middle of an important work call I disregarded for the moment until the trickle turned into more of a steady gushing sound (which really grabbed my attention). I told my boss I would call her back and hung up the phone to go check my bathroom. As I push-open the bathroom door, my entire arm is immediately soaked in brown/yellowish water gushing down from several points in the ceiling. My first gut instinct was to grab a towel and hold it up to the water. It very quickly became apparent that this wasn’t going to work as the water did not “stop” gushing (and I couldn’t just stand there forever holding my arms up to combat the unending water leak). The ceiling was also leaking from multiple points (big bubbles forming underneath the bulging latex paint on the walls). I then grabbed a broomstick and started pounding the ceiling in the bathroom & bedroom in a desperate attempt to rouse the elderly woman upstairs from her slumber (to no avail). At this point I admittedly was starting to panic a bit. The flow of water was only increasing, and I have several valuable items in my apartment that could very well have been damaged if the leak wasn’t resolved. I decided to quickly run down to the super’s apartment to notify him & of-course he just happened NOT to be at-home. His son(?) answered the door and sent him a message so that he could go upstairs and figure-out where the leak was coming from. About 15 minutes later he came to my apartment after he was able to make contact with upstairs neighbor & kill the leak. Needless to say, my entire bathroom was covered in yellow/brown water that leaked out of the ceiling & was leaking all into my medicine cabinet & under sink storage. A total mess that I now had to resolve myself “thanks upstairs neighbor Beverly Lovell”. And NO she did not bother to compensate me for my losses (about $100 in damaged bathroom items), she didn’t even bother to simply verbally apologize. Such a nasty old woman (something I don’t say lightly as I generally have a respect for the elderly). This woman is THE nightmare neighbor from hell… So my kitchen & bathroom were both flooded (after the super stopped the leak upstairs, he came by to quickly mop the mess) - - however, the walls were SOAKED and after he left my apartment, the water was still leaking… it started to leak-out from underneath my fridge in the kitchen. I cleaned up any remaining messes myself (didn’t want to continue pestering the hapless super).
After reading all the negative reviews here I just assume Kings & Queens will blame me for the damages and try to steal my deposit money too (even though my upstairs neighbor is 110% responsible). My advice to anyone thinking about signing a lease with Kings & Queens is to SKIP IT! Renter-Be-Very-Aware!!! They constantly are trying to pass MCI costs on to their tenants (most of which the tenants aren’t even aware of until the courts deny the managements attempts to pass-on the expense > we get the subsequent letter in the mail stating that the request was DENIED). I’ve received several of these notifications in the mail > gotta give Kings & Queens credit for never missing an opportunity to squeeze their tenants for money - - what I call “Persistent Greed” 🤦🏽‍♂️.
Also - ZERO PRIVACY in their buildings (I’ve lived at both the The Citadel & The Georgetown) - - and both of these buildings you would have to endure all of your neighbor’s guitar playing, piano lessons, farting, screaming toddler, children doing gymnastics inside the apartments, big loud barking dogs, stomping feet and so-on, and so-on… *sigh
