    Review Summary for 248 W 105 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building’s convenient location near Columbia University and the subway, with spacious units offering natural light. Positive aspects include efficient garbage management, good neighbor relations, and quiet surroundings. However, concerns are raised about slow responsiveness to maintenance issues, especially heating problems. Pest control and laundry facilities need improvement. Despite some drawbacks like roach problems and heating issues, management is responsive to inquiries. Suggestions include better communication, prompt maintenance, and upgrading laundry machines to enhance tenant experience.
