Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by 220 EAST 78 ASSOCIATES LLC reveals significant challenges in maintenance and management responsiveness. Many reviewers report issues with cleanliness, pest control struggles (notablyroaches and occasional rats), and concerns about garbage management. Heating and water pressure receive mixed ratings, with some units experiencing subpar conditions. While neighbors are generally considered decent and noise levels manageable, security problems such as package theft are frequent. Although a few tenants appreciate landlord kindness, there is a strong call for better building upkeep, updated staff, installation of security cameras, and more attentive management to address tenant safety and health concerns.

Get friendly with Roaches!!!!
Former Tenant
Pros:
quiet, good light, great neighborhood
Cons:
building is kept in horrible shape. super is very sweet but is not very responsive. roaches are an issue on every floor-- pest control is supposed to come once a month but does not show up. sometimes you see dead ones in the hallway. no mice in my unit but did see one large dead rat the 2nd floor on my way out to work one morning over the winter... and issues with heat regulation in the winter.
Advice to owner:
get your act together
