Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 342 East 76 Street highlights its desirable Upper East Side location and some features like high ceilings, stainless steel appliances, and in-unit dishwashers. However, renters consistently report poor management with unresponsive owners and superintendents living offsite. Major issues include chronic pest infestations (mice and roaches), inconsistent or absent heating during winter, intermittent hot water, and noise disturbances. Garbage management and overall cleanliness are often rated below average. Tenants also mention aggressive rent increases and intrusive move-out demands. Despite good water pressure and some friendly maintenance staff, the building struggles with upkeep and tenant relations, making it a challenging place to live.

Beware of this building
Former Tenant
Pros:
I liked how this building had dishwasher and a washer dryer in building, but beware!
Cons:
This building company does not care about it’s tenants. I have had a mice and roach problem for awhile now, and they do is spray peppermint oil and put down mouse traps which I can get at the local hardware store. They will not make accommodations when you are moving out. Expect to commute to drop off the keys at the office or pay for overnight shipping. Oh the super doesn’t live in the building, and lives on the lower east side!
Advice to owner:
These people are snakes!

Worst landlord ever
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location was great, súper was really nice and pest control guys were prompt and attentive. Custodial staff were also lovely. Everyone who worked on actual maintenance was great.
Cons:
Icon realty management is a scam artist. They tried to raise the rent for my tiny apartment from $1750 to over $3000. Our heat went out for a week and a half and they did nothing but offer us 25% abatement. Move out instructions were ridiculous asking tenant to patch and paint over every single nail hole. Never responsive, had to ask them to send someone over for maintenance problems SEVERAL times before ever getting an answer. The brokerage they work with also tried to steal my “good faith deposit” to take the unit off the market. save yourself the headache, don’t rent from these guys who settled a multi million dollar lawsuit in 2017 for illegally evicting rent controlled tenants so they could renovate and up charge their units.
Advice to owner:
Grow a heart and/or a conscience.
