“Pros: Responsive super, well kept building, newly remodeled unit Cons: Mosquitoes indoors, loud street”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: its kept really clean and the live in super is great Cons: the management company kinda blows --- we had brutally noisy construction for 5 months as an apartment in the building was gutted and they didnt do anything and they also price the units too high and try to go up way too much every year”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: large units, responsive super, quiet neighbors Cons: unresponsive management, packages stolen”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 5G Pros: I loved living here for 2 years! This is a nice building with an elevator (no doorman). It’s in a great neighborhood and conveniently located right next to the Q station. The building is charming, clean & has kind/friendly residents. The package area is to the side of the lobby, which helps prevent theft. The apartment is very spacious, has tons of closet space, full sized appliances and lots of natural light in the bedrooms. Cons: The laundry room in the basement only has 3 washers & 3 dryers. Often 1 will be out of service and takes a while to get repaired.”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Picturesque walkway that leads into a charming prewar building with renovated lobby and hallways. Elevator and laundry in the building, new appliances, with a live-in super who stays on top of trash takeout and overall building maintenance. Have lived here 5+ years and the convenience of the location is a high note - steps from the Q and three blocks from the 6, Target on the corner, new Whole Foods down the block. Love being in between the East River and the Park. Cons: Due to high demand price increases each lease (12mo). You do have to be aware of packages being delivered - since there is no doorman, anyone can try to get into the building and there have been instances of package theft. Advice to landlord: Be kind and generous with the Super and he will take care of anything you need - hanging items, painting, plumbing. Enjoy the charm of this prewar building in UES!”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location is amazing. Great price for a 3 bed 2 bath. Neighbors really friendly Cons: Sometimes too loud, especially if you face the garbage area. The super is doing stuff there until around 12AM”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great storage, good management Cons: We lived here for years before they have recently started prioritizing maximizing profits and renting to students/young professionals who treat the building like an extension of their college dorm room. Families and those who value peace and quiet, beware. Advice to landlord: Prioritize current tenants”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice amenities, very responsive super, loved the architecture of the building Cons: Laundry room can get EXTREMELY busy during peak hours”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: in a safe area, friendly tenants, modern looking units, spacious for the price Cons: laundry room is too small for the building Advice to landlord: add laundry machines”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Clean, quick and responsive live in super, well kept, quiet neighbors, nicely renovated apartments. Cons: No cons with building itself. I face the front and it’s loud outside because of the post office.”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 5E Pros: Building is well maintained, super usually takes care of any issues (not super short notice but good enough). Nice neighbors Cons: Building is in front of post office which can become noisy as trucks move in and out. USPS trucks take up a lot of parking and people sometimes "park" on the street next to it creating a lot of honking. Advice to landlord: No specific advice, loved my time there.”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Amazing super!!!! Renovated hallways Amazing prewar details Great pest/garbage control Safe package room Cons: Younger crowd has started to move in with louder weekend noise and less cleanliness in shared spaces Heat is old and challenging to control Advice to landlord: Respect current tenants who stayed with you during the pandemic and don’t increase rents so much we have to leave!”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Spacious apartments Laundry and elevator building Solid walls (couldn’t hear any foot steps or neighbors) Location is great Cons: Found two cockroaches near the front door Small kitchen”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Equidistant from the East River and Central Park. Great Super, laundry room, beautiful new lobby and hallways. Cons: No rooftop area Advice to landlord: I liked the originally lobby, it had character. New one is nice but not necessary”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Newly renovated most units. Neighbors courteous. In house super is helpful and timely. Near central park and many restaurants. Cons: Like all these older buildings, things break or leak or need repair. Street is fairly loud with lots of traffic. With the post office across the street there is lots of honking as nearly the entire street is reserved for post office parking and peooke are often violating it. Parking if pretry difficult here. No ac or ceiling fans.”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Very close to Central Park. Cons: Mostly older people and families in the neighborhood. Advice to landlord: None!”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great live in super Cons: USPS across the street, quite loud throughout the night”
— 226 EAST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The building is well maintained with a live in super. Recently updated interior (2019). Modern finishes. Great location steps from the Q on 70th st. Great water pressure. Cons: Watch out for mice in the basement. You have a small mailbox in the entry way but Packages are left in the hallway (I’ve never had an issue but a bit worrisome when ordering something expensive). Elevator can be slow. Can be a bit noisy across from the post office loading trucks if you are on the street side Advice to landlord: Could use a better package system”
