Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 486 East 74th Street in Manhattan reveal mixed feedback. Tenants appreciate updated units with modern amenities, such as controllable AC units and spacious outdoor areas. However, concerns arise regarding ineffective heat, poor cleanliness in common areas, and unresponsive management for maintenance issues.
