Review Summary for 250 W 78 St
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 250 W 78 St reflect a building with a prime Upper West Side location, friendly neighbors, and reasonably spacious units close to transit, parks, and amenities. However, maintenance and management issues are common concerns: many renters report an unresponsive super, cleanliness problems including garbage buildup and pest infestations, and malfunctioning laundry facilities. Some appreciate the responsive landlord and security features like double buzzers, but others note a lack of common area upkeep and package theft risks. Noise from nearby construction also impacts comfort. Overall, while the location and neighborly atmosphere are praised, management's inconsistent responsiveness and building upkeep detract from the living experience.

Love this building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighbors are great. Owners are responsive and helpful.
Cons:
The super is non existent. Will not answer his texts, calls or voicemails. The common areas (lobby and stairwells) are never, ever mopped or cleaned.
Advice to owner:
Get the super to do his job and keep up the building properly. Otherwise you are great!

Not worth it
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice location on the UWS. That is where the pros end.
Cons:
Can’t get ahold of building manager. They blame everything on you. Building owner just as rude.
