Review Summary for 516 East 79 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 516 East 79 Street praises the building’s cleanliness, effective pest control, and well-maintained apartments. Management is noted for quick responsiveness and good maintenance, contributing to a positive living experience. Rent stabilization and inclusion of major utilities add value, while Verizon Fios availability is appreciated. However, some tenants feel the building’s older structure leads to quirky floor plans and suggest improvements like upgrading the boiler for faster hot water. Package handling could be better, as parcels are sometimes left in hallways. The location is considered less ideal due to its distance from the subway and dining options.
