QUEENS COLLEGE— Students living at The Summit Apartments say major maintenance problems and slow, vague updates from housing staff have created frustration and distrust from the community to the administration. Residents report various ongoing issues including a lack of hot water, marijuana odors in hallways, out-of-service laundry machines and a weak gym air conditioner. They complain that management responses often come days after complaints surface.
The largest and most-mentioned problem is a lack of hot water. As reported by WABC in 2023, “Amid freezing temperatures — students living in the Summit Dorm at Queens College had no heat or hot water for several days this week.” The duration of the problem worries both returning and new residents, who are less than confident that that problem will be solved for good this time.
