    Review Summary for 616 West 113 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 616 West 113 Street commend its excellent location near Columbia University, making it ideal for students. The landlord and superintendent receive praise for responsiveness and attentiveness, fostering a supportive living environment with a friendly tenant screening process. Residents appreciate quiet surroundings in many units, free laundry, and good pest control. However, the building is older with some worn appliances, outdated infrastructure, and occasional ventilation issues. Garbage management has been a point of contention for some, with calls for improved handling. Noise can vary due to student neighbors, and renovations, especially to floors and stairs, are suggested to enhance comfort.

    Family-Business Landlord who really looks out for student tenants
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Mark is a wonderful landlord who is often seen around the building helping out and available. For students moving into their first NYC apartment, this is a good first step with other Columbia students as neighbors and an attentive landlord right off campus.
    Free laundry in the building is also an amazing pro.
    On the same street as a Columbia dorm, so campus security patrol our block as well.
    I lived there for 3 years and never saw a mouse. I saw 3 cockroaches in 3 years. Pretty good stats...
    Cons:
    It is an old building. Old appliances, in many cases very worn or dirty from years of use. Worth looking unit by unit to make sure it is up to your standards. It's not a dealbreaker for everyone, but you should know going in.
