    Review Summary for 1425 Amsterdam Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 1425 Amsterdam Avenue underscore its convenient location near transit and Columbia University, along with large apartments and 24/7 security that manages guest entry and package deliveries. Neighbors are generally cooperative, contributing to a sense of community. However, tenants frequently report slow maintenance responses, outdated carpets, and significant pest issues including rodents and mold. Garbage management and cleanliness in common areas, hallways, and laundry facilities require improvement, with suggestions for regular deep cleaning and better trash control. Concerns about inadequate security training and building upkeep, including broken doors and laundry machines, persist. Overall, renters value location and security but emphasize urgent need for enhanced management responsiveness and upkeep.

    Bittersweet living as of 2025
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is convenient to transportation. My heat is ok in Winter. Neighbors are cooperative. Common areas are clean.
    Cons:
    Repairs are not timely or efficient. Things stay broken way too long. Some neighbors don't have heat. We have mice ! There's no fan in the bathroom so shower grout is moldy. Some neighbors have faulty electrical wires. We have had fires. Landlord doesn't respond to emails or phone calls. Security guard service is lacking. Guards are not trained. They allow people into the building who do not live here.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive. Make repairs. Hire trained professional repair services.
