Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Renters of 78/79 YORK ASSOCIATES LLC buildings report generally responsive and quick management, especially for maintenance requests, creating a safe and well-kept environment. Many appreciate the rent-stabilized units and all-inclusive utilities. However, there are persistent issues with noise due to thin walls, occasional pest problems (cockroaches and mice), and challenges with garbage management, including health and safety concerns about trash storage. Some tenants express frustration over limited enforcement of disruptive neighbor behavior and occasional indifferent or dismissive office staff. Overall, tenants value the attentive maintenance but suggest improvements in pest control, noise mitigation, security, and communication transparency.

Non-stop noise, paper thin walls, dogs everywhere

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 the owners

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).

Decent no frills

Pros

The building is rent stabilized with all utilities included. Once you are in your apartment you don’t hear your neighbors unless they are loud going up and down the stairs. I never hear them inside their units.

Cons

Some neighbors are very loud or refuse to follow the lease agreement and have rugs covering 80% of their floor as a result you hear them walking above you every day, moving furniture, even their dog crying through the ceiling.
