    Review Summary for 401 East 68 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 401 East 68 Street indicate a mixed living experience. The building benefits from a good location, convenient transportation access, and a quiet street. Some tenants praise the attentive super and responsive management for maintaining cleanliness and order. However, concerns about pests, notably rats and cockroaches, have been repeatedly raised, along with issues of noise from the street and small apartment sizes. Garbage management and water pressure ratings vary, and some residents find owner responsiveness inconsistent. Prospective renters should weigh the building's accessibility and maintenance efforts against pest issues and limited amenities like in-building laundry.

    Rats and Roaches
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It is a good location and accessible to many grocery stores, transportation, etc.
    Cons:
    You have rats (not mice but rats!) in the apartment and walking over the stove. There are also cockroaches roaming around and I have had them on my headboard as I woke up before.
    Advice to owner:
    Take better care of the building and be more responsive to tenants and their needs. We pay money for poor living conditions.
