    Review Summary for 485 Columbus Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 485 COLUMBUS AVENUE highlight a mixed experience. While the building offers good insulation, solid walls, and functional heating, there are concerns about pests like cockroaches and mice persisting. Some tenants faced issues with hot water, rodent infestation, and inadequate responsiveness from management. Despite the convenient location and quiet atmosphere, ongoing construction, cleanliness of halls, and water pressure problems are areas that need attention. The general sentiment leans towards improvement in pest control measures, maintenance communication, and overall building upkeep for a better living experience.

    Steer clear- it’s a nightmare!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great and the pros end there.
    Cons:
    Multiple instances where the heat wasn’t turned on and no hot water for days at a time. Managegment did nothing to warn these outages. Apartment became infested with rodents to the point where I had to move out. Constant construction in the hallway with loose wires hanging out of the wall. Terrible management and ups the lease whenever possible.
    Advice to owner:
    Do. Better.
