    Review Summary for 240 East 78 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 240 East 78 Street praise the spacious apartments, featuring two floors, balconies, tall ceilings, and ample closet space, along with strong water pressure and a desirable Upper East Side location. Residents enjoy quiet surroundings and good neighbors. However, management and maintenance receive consistent criticism for unresponsiveness and poor garbage management. Pest control is a major concern with reports of rodents and insects, and some tenants cite unsatisfactory cleaning and heating issues. Despite these drawbacks, some renters still recommend the building for its apartment features and neighborhood benefits, though improvements in management and pest control would greatly enhance the living experience.
