    Review Summary for 524 East 79 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 524 East 79 Street highlight a secure, quiet building with effective soundproofing and a responsive management team known for prompt maintenance. Many tenants appreciate the well-maintained common areas, rent stabilization, and the safety provided by attentive staff. However, recurring pest issues, notably roaches and bed bugs, have been significant concerns for some residents, impacting their overall experience. While garbage management and hallway cleanliness receive mixed feedback, water pressure and heating systems mostly function well. Though the building's location offers appeal with nice views and friendly neighbors, prospective renters should consider pest control history and management's strict lease policies.

    Great and safe building on the UES
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I always felt super safe in this building. The management office was incredibly responsive and if anything needed fixing they’d have someone put there usually within 1 day. The building is quiet and the walls have incredible soundproofing. I didn’t ever hear my neighbors.
    Cons:
    The hallways/stairs could use a bit more attention in terms of keeping them clean.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep up the great work!

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    SW Management owns the whole 78 and 79 street blocks. It's always clean and well maintained. Lots of staff and feels very safe.
    Cons:
    Front desk manager is not very kind. Packages sometimes get stolen from vestibules (I think this is a common thing anymore). If you want to break a lease be prepared to pay. They are zero flexibility on this.
