Review Summary for 795 Columbus Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 795 Columbus Avenue highlight its excellent cleanliness, attentive maintenance, and friendly, professional staff including doormen and concierge. The location is highly convenient with nearby amenities like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. Many appreciate the well-maintained amenities and quick responses to requests. However, renters frequently mention aggressive rent hikes, added fees, and lease inflexibility as concerns, impacting tenant retention and satisfaction. Pest issues have occurred but were eventually addressed through unit relocation. Privacy concerns with some staff behavior and occasional noise complaints were noted. Overall, renters value the building’s quality and location but caution about management practices and costs.

Great building with the worst management company imaginable
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice building with friendly staff, great amenities, and fast responses to maintenance requests.
Cons:
Terrible management company. I can't say more while I still live here, but if you want to pick somewhere where you're going to feel financially secure in the rent from year to year, this is the WRONG building. Since I've lived here, the landlord has used every loophole and unethical trick in the book to raise the rent far beyond what the spirit of the law should have allowed. In the past few years, they've also started charging amenity fees, water fees, and parts fees for routine maintenance requests (lightbulbs, filters, etc). They will be more than happy to get you to sign the lease, but after that you will be feeling pressured to move out at every renewal.
