Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 212 West 109 Street reveal significant issues with pest infestations including rats, cockroaches, and mold problems, severely impacting living conditions. Tenants consistently report poor cleanliness, unmanaged garbage, and unaddressed maintenance concerns such as faulty heat, water pressure, and broken appliances. Management is widely criticized for being unresponsive, slow to address tenant complaints, and lacking transparency, particularly during renovations. Despite the building’s convenient location near Columbia University and spacious apartments with some in-unit amenities, ongoing hygiene and safety problems, along with neglected repairs, make it an unfavorable choice for prospective renters seeking a well-maintained and secure residence.

Former tenant·1 month ago

Terrible building. Incompetent Management. DO NOT RENT.

Pros

apartment was spacious, that's all.

Cons

There's rats outside the building, inside the building, everywhere. In the winter - my apartment heat wasnt working I had to bug the management for more than a month and a half before anything was done. Hot water keeps going out and they do nothing about it.

Advice to the owners

Sell this to some management who actually knows what they are doing.
