Rental building
Website

Summary

Moda is a downtown Jamaica rental with relatively spacious apartments, a rooftop terrace, courtyard, gym and several indoor resident rooms. Long-term residents praise the office and maintenance staff, while the shared laundry, aging amenities, smoke, cleanliness and building-system reliability draw the most criticism.

Reviews

Long-term residents often speak warmly about the people in the office and maintenance team, and the apartments offer useful space near several subway options. The larger concern is whether management can keep shared spaces, security and older building systems working consistently.

What residents praise

Office and maintenance staff earn loyal praise

Residents describe patient help with renewals and paperwork, an accessible property manager and repair requests handled promptly.

Apartments offer practical space

Current residents value the larger layouts, modern kitchen basics and comfortable homes compared with newer but tighter alternatives.

Transit and daily shopping are close

Several subway stations, a supermarket and Rufus King Park are all within a short walk.

What residents complain about

Shared laundry and amenities need more upkeep

Residents repeatedly describe broken washers, dryers and gym equipment, missing carts and common rooms that feel dated or poorly maintained.

Smoke, trash and security affect the hallways

Detailed accounts mention cigarette or marijuana odors, messy trash areas, unauthorized visitors and disruptive hallway activity.

Elevators and apartment systems can be unreliable

Residents report elevator outages, inconsistent water pressure, unreliable access controls and repairs that do not always resolve the underlying problem.

Amenities

Moda has a 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center, two outdoor decks and a courtyard. Residents have a shared laundry room with online machine-status checking, a package room and an attached garage.

Location

Moda is located at 153-30 89th Avenue, New York, NY 11432. Moda is close to Parsons Boulevard and Jamaica Center subway service, with groceries on the block and Rufus King Park a few minutes away. The setting is transit-rich and practical, though residents describe the immediate building environment as busier and less polished than the marketing suggests.
