We’ve absolutely loved living at Maximillian! The building’s great, the staff and management are super kind, and the location can’t be beat — safe, close to a park, and full of great amenities.
Big shoutout to Maggie for being awesome and helping us with literally everything management and lease related. And props to the whole staff — everyone’s so helpful and kind!

This review is solely in response to the previous review by BB D. I am in complete disbelief of what I have just read.
I am the resident in this building who hired BB as a cat sitter. Now in all my time living here and having cat sitters watching my cats, none of them ever had any issues with Jaqueline or any staff member. I find it hard to believe that the staff would ever treat anyone with such contempt. I also do not understand the point of posting pictures of elevator buttons and a hallway packages?? That review is not a reflection of how this building operates and how people are treated. We have the utmost respect for staff ♥️ and never heard of any NON-residents having any problems with being mistreated. I hope this clears things up for everyone.
AVOID THIS BUILDING. Plenty of better apartments in LIC.
I live in central LIC (Court Square) and have visited multiple nearby buildings where staff are professional and welcoming. This building is the complete opposite.
Out of three visits, two were seriously negative. On Christmas Eve around 4:30 PM, I was leaving and took a quick mirror selfie in the lobby. A staff member aggressively confronted me, falsely accused me of filming him, interrogated me about why I was there and who I was visiting, and then demanded I delete the video, claiming it was “private property.” The interaction was hostile, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional.
It didn’t stop there. During another visit while cat-sitting for a resident, staff member Jacqueline yelled at me when I asked for help with keys. Despite acknowledging she remembered me from a prior visit, she remained hostile. When I explained I needed access to feed the resident’s cats, she stated she “didn’t care if the resident’s cat got fed.”
This is not a one-off misunderstanding — it’s a pattern of aggressive and dismissive behavior toward guests acting on behalf of residents. If this is how visitors are treated, residents should seriously reconsider living here.
Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere.
Doormen, porters, handyman, and other building staff are top notch and very friendly. No issues with packages or getting something fixed in apartment.
However, leasing office/mgmt was a nightmare - after moving out, despite getting the sign off and walk through with the handyman, leasing/mgmt office made up some bogus reason that we damaged an appliance to keep almost all of the security deposit. Despite the appliance working and having no issues, and no way would any actual repair be worth the amount they docked. Very scummy and beware!!
