    Review Summary for 354 East 78 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 354 East 78 Street reveal a building with spacious units and a convenient location near subway lines. Tenants appreciate the larger rooms and some renovated apartments. However, persistent issues with pest control, particularly rats and cockroaches, and noise from nearby construction are widely reported. Cleanliness and garbage management vary, with some common areas poorly maintained. The landlord's responsiveness is often criticized as slow or unhelpful, complicating maintenance and pest problems. While neighbors are generally considered friendly, overall management and building upkeep need attention to improve living conditions, especially for long-term residents.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This building is within walking distance to both the Q and 6 trains (about a 10 minute walk).
    Cons:
    Noise: This building is situated right next to a construction site that has long hours of operation. Within the apartment there are thin walls that afford little privacy.

    Maintenance: the superintendent is ornery and does not speak English well. Scheduling with him is very difficult and he is not very personable.

    Pests: the pest control person will come and spray for roaches and pests the first Tuesday of every month. This portion of 78th street has a rat problem, and the backyard has rat nests according to the exterminator.

    It's an old building that needs some TLC.
