Supreme Court County Of Queens

Have come here to deal with landlord-​tenant issue on several different occasions and some of the staff there are very unprofessional that they were talking smack about me in front of my face didn’t think I heard and told them off not only are they unprofessional they’re incompetent and disorganized on the second floor the clerk leaves at 4 pm no direction no forms outside for the people to fill out when I finally got up front the guy who was very rude didn’t want to give me the form because I didn’t have the index number I explained to the moron I was going to call attorneys office to get to give it to me anyway. Painfully annoying indeed spent almost 4 hours waiting for an approved order to show cause proceed with caution and research the Website for directions and information if you need it don’t expect them to help you because they act like you’re supposed to know it all sorry but whose the court clerk here

Well, it’s court. Fun.

Efficient and friendly security. Clerks can be the nicest people in the world to the nastiest. Nothing in between. Please be in comfortable shoes. If you want to get anywhere in the building in a timely manner, and have been here before, you know to avoid the elevators. Slowest darn things on this universe. I walk up and down flights of stairs quicker than those antique boxes can move — and I tend to function on the «take all the time in the world» approach.

This venue is a mess. You have a few good even-​tempered and smart judges and then there is everyone else. Courthouse caters to the plaintiff’s bar. God forbid you make a discovery motion as a defendant…
3^rd floor is leaking and moldy. Roaches are big enough to saddle up and ride. Elevators are a death trap.

Minus two stars for being pretty damn tough to get to from my place in Astoria, plus one star for having a Popeyes across the street (haven’t eaten there yet though, don’t want my suit to smell like fried chicken). This palace of justice seated in the heart of the county of Queens has the same stone pillars that its Bronx and NY County courthouses sport, but the layout on the inside is none too impressive.
The calendar clerks range from friendly to «Imma bite your face off» type mentalities, so be ready for anything. In the end, it is a relatively user friendly court house, but the elevators are ancient and are slower than a dead snail; you better have Dr. Scholl’s in your shoes, because you will be walking the stairs for the first six floors just because it’s quicker.

I’ve been here a few times, though not recently. I really hate the commute to get here, going through security and all the stuff associated with court but the staff I encountered were friendly enough. The security guards are great in making sure you get where you’re supposed to be going. If you don’t know where you’re going, just ask & they will give you clear directions.
As one reviewer said, the elevators are horribly slow. It’s even worse when you’re on them with a ton of other people trying to get to the same floors or higher than yours. I experienced this once when going on business.
I also came here for jury duty, which wasn’t terrible since I made sure to bring something to occupy myself (though they had movies playing). They excused me in the same day & the people handling it were pleasant toward us. You could definitely spend jury duty in a worse & less airy location.
Otherwise, it’s a courthouse. I can’t say much more than that.
