    Review Summary for 488 7 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 488 7 Avenue emphasize its unbeatable Midtown Manhattan location, close to major subway lines and shopping. Tenants appreciate helpful doormen, convenient laundry on every floor, and generally clean, well-maintained common areas. Apartments offer practical layouts with some soundproof windows, but many note thin walls and street noise, especially on non-interior units. Management responsiveness is inconsistent, with several tenants reporting slow or unhelpful communication during maintenance or move-outs. Garbage management and occasional pest problems also surface. While the building offers solid amenities, some renters suggest interior renovations and improved management for a better living experience.

    Nice building terrible management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amenities are nice, laundry on every floor is quite convenient vs having to go down to a basement to do it. Front desk and super are helpful and nice
    Cons:
    Management is honestly awful to deal with, you have to email/call several times before you get an answer. Basically just stonewalls you.
    Outside noise is on the louder side given that you're on one of the main streets/corner of it

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very centrally located
    Cons:
    If you don’t have an interior apartment it can be very loud at times.
