Recent reviews for 220 East 78 Street in Manhattan reflect a mix of positives and notable concerns. Renters appreciate the quiet environment, ample natural light, and friendly neighbors, contributing to an inviting neighborhood feel. However, recurring issues include building cleanliness, pest infestations (cockroaches, mice, and rats), and inconsistent garbage management.

Owner responsiveness and maintenance have been described as slow or inadequate, with calls for better management, upgraded infrastructure, and enhanced safety measures such as security cameras. Despite these drawbacks, some tenants value the affordable rent and positive community aspects.

Get friendly with Roaches!!!!

Pros

quiet, good light, great neighborhood

Cons

building is kept in horrible shape. super is very sweet but is not very responsive. roaches are an issue on every floor-- pest control is supposed to come once a month but does not show up. sometimes you see dead ones in the hallway. no mice in my unit but did see one large dead rat the 2nd floor on my way out to work one morning over the winter... and issues with heat regulation in the winter.
