Review Summary for 344 East 49 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 344 East 49 Street highlight a generally well-maintained, safe building with a responsive live-in superintendent praised for timely issue resolution. Tenants value the good location near Midtown and the UN, decent water pressure, and mostly quiet neighbors. However, noise insulation is a common concern, with thin walls and creaky floors allowing sound to travel easily. Some pest issues like occasional roaches and mice have been reported but addressed quickly. While not rent-stabilized and lacking a doorman, the building offers elevators and some units with loft-style layouts, making it a good option for those prioritizing community and convenience.

Decent building with terrible sound proof and some rodents
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pretty quiet and safe residential neighborhood close to UN. Live-in Superintendent. There are some units with loft setting.
Cons:
There is no sound proof whatsoever in this building. You will hear every footsteps, dialogues from neighbors and be ready to hear some of your neighbors intimate time. Occasionally roaches problem as well as mice.
