Review Summary for 512 East 79 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant experiences at 512 East 79 Street in Manhattan reveal a building with mixed feedback. Positives include well-maintained pre-war apartments in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood with spacious units, modern appliances, and strong water pressure. Many renters commend the management's responsiveness and 24/7 staff availability. However, significant concerns persist regarding pest infestations, notably roaches and rodents, with some tenants reporting persistent issues despite treatments. Garbage management is problematic for some, with complaints about trash storage in courtyards. Noise levels are generally low, and neighbors are described as friendly, but the building’s cleanliness and owner responsiveness vary greatly. Rent stabilization is confirmed for many units.

Huge Pest Problem & Unhelpful Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The area is nice and quiet.
Cons:
There are multiple BIG roaches in the hallways and staircases of the building. After that they came into my apartment. I was getting monthly treatments for about 5 months, and they still were all in the apartment and the staircases. The building has a serious problem and are in denial about how big the issue is and how out of hand it is for management to control. They made me think It was not an issue to see the amount I did in my apartment. I shouldn't be seeing any in a place that I call home and sleep at night. The management office was always rude when calling for complaints and was of no help when I had to abruptly end the lease because the issue became so bad. There are also rats in the building. Please don't consider living here unless you want to deal with these issues as well as building management that will degrade you for wanting a clean place to live.
Advice to owner:
Adress the issue of pests you have in your building and do not make tenants feel bad about choosing to not habitate in the conditions
