Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Reviews for 279 East 44 Street emphasize a well-maintained, clean building with friendly and responsive doormen and staff. The location is highly praised for its proximity to transit and local amenities. Residents value good water pressure, pest control efforts, and the availability of laundry and gym facilities, though the gym and rooftop space are modest. Some note noise from street traffic and thin walls, and occasional pest issues persist despite management responsiveness. Rent collection via checks is viewed as outdated. Apartment interiors, including kitchens and HVAC, could benefit from modernization. Overall, the building suits renters seeking attentive management in a convenient Manhattan setting.
