Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 338 East 70 Street, Manhattan reveals a building with pros including a pleasant location, updated units, and generally friendly neighbors and superintendents. However, persistent issues detract from the living experience: pest infestations (mice and roaches), inconsistent heating, thin walls, and poor garbage management are recurrent complaints. Management responsiveness is widely seen as inadequate, with safety concerns and maintenance requests frequently ignored. Noise levels vary, with some finding it fairly quiet, while others note disruptive neighbors. Though some tenants recommend the building for its location and unit condition, overall dissatisfaction with management and building upkeep remains a significant concern for potential renters.

Nice location, awful experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
Love the area, the unit itself wasn't bad
Cons:
Terrible management, no responsiveness despite significant safety concerns about a squatter. They only contact you when they need your money for lease renewal

Decent Building, Problematic Neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
The units are nice - updated kitchens and bathrooms, no glaring issues. The location is fairly quiet. Rent increases were not unreasonable but the units are overpriced for the lack of amenities and the size. The super is very friendly but forgetful - you have to text/call him multiple times to get him to come take care of something.
Cons:
The entryway/hallways are pretty run down and dirty. The trash room is also pretty gross. The biggest issue in the last two years I’ve lived here is that unfortunately there is a woman in the building who has paranoid schizophrenia and if she goes off her meds/has a mental break, it causes issues for everyone. We’ve had homeless people squatting in her apartment at her invitation, broken windows, and she will act out her paranoid delusions in public spaces and directed towards other tenants. According to the management company, she cannot be evicted, so she is there to stay. The management company/Jason is also not good at responding to emails or picking up the phone/responding to voicemails. Sometimes it feels like he is avoiding you if he doesn’t want to deal with whatever request or question the tenant has
