Living on West 74th Street in Manhattan can be a challenging experience, as indicated by the street's low grade and the plethora of complaints from residents. The most pressing issue is illegal parking, with a staggering 48 complaints, suggesting that parking spots are scarce and often occupied by vehicles parked illegally, blocking driveways, or even blocking fire hydrants, a serious safety concern reported 38 times. Noise pollution is another significant problem, with both residential and street/sidewalk noise topping the complaint list at 38 and 31 respectively. Residents have reported loud talking, loud music or parties, and even banging or pounding, which can make quiet enjoyment of one's home difficult, especially at night.

The street's tree maintenance also seems to be a point of concern, with 7 reports of damaged trees and 6 reports of limbs or branches falling down. Additionally, the overall condition of the street leaves much to be desired, with reports of dirty conditions, poor sidewalk and curb conditions, and even trash buildup. The presence of homeless individuals seeking assistance and obstructions further compound the street's issues. While the crime rate is not extraordinarily high, the seriousness of the offenses recorded, including robbery and felony assault, may cause worry among residents. The surrounding streets also appear to face similar issues, with all nearby streets sharing the same low grade. Despite these challenges, living in this area also offers proximity to Central Park and the cultural vibrancy of the Upper West Side.
