Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 229 Columbus Avenue highlight its excellent Upper West Side location and good water pressure. Some tenants appreciate the quick response from the superintendent and the pleasant neighbors. However, significant issues include persistent pest infestations, inadequate heating with often a single radiator per unit, and inconsistent management responsiveness. Cleanliness and garbage disposal are rated poorly by several tenants, alongside reports of building deterioration and safety concerns. Despite the central setting and natural light in some units, many recommend against living here due to unresolved heating problems, pest control struggles, and management shortcomings. Improvements in maintenance and staff conduct are advised.

Avoid living in this nightmare building

Pros

Accesible transportation, centric and beautiful area.

Cons

Rat-infested, management had an attitude, no heating, an old kitchen, the moldings were collapsing, so was the staircase to the actual building and the manager and his workers sexually harassed women. Not even mentioning the fact, that the real estate agent was rude and condescending.

Advice to the owners

Don't be a slum lord

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Good location poor management

Pros

A good location, nice layout and light in one bedroom

Cons

Unresponsive management and super, dealt with multiple bed bug issues. Unit was not properly heated and the problem was never resolved. As low as 53 degrees at night as there was only one heater in a back bedroom for a 2 bedroom apartment.
