    Review Summary for 511 East 78 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent renters at 511 East 78 Street praise the building for its affordability, rent-stabilized units, and responsive, helpful management and maintenance staff. The building is generally clean with well-managed garbage disposal and maintenance services. Tenants appreciate utilities included in rent and the pet-friendly policy. However, noise levels can be high due to thin walls and a youthful, sometimes loud tenant base. Security concerns persist with few cameras and occasional theft or mail issues. Some report limited modernization and lack of elevators. Overall, the building offers good value and a supportive leasing team but could improve on noise control, security, and laundry facilities.

    Non-stop noise, paper thin walls, dogs everywhere
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Affordable as a first time studio, located on the east river with trees and laundry on the block. Utilities included and no broker fees (if your real estate agent is taking you here, they’re scammers).
    Cons:
    Expect to hear everything your neighbors on all sides of you do. After living in this building for 5 years, I’ve seen a new neighbor on every side every lease renewal because it’s honestly very difficult to tolerate hearing everything single sound your neighbor makes. Not sure if apartments were once larger and then separated by rice paper, but I shouldn’t be able to hear every detail of my neighbors life. Hear is controlled by management and apartment is usually hotter than a sauna, but I don’t pay for it so whatever.
    Advice to owner:
    Allow pets with a size limit. Be proactive in stopping noise (your rental office is in the same corridor where barking dogs can be heard reverberating all day).
