    Review Summary for 43 Columbia Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews emphasize the building's prime location near quiet neighborhoods. The rooftop amenities, storage, and laundry facilities are praised. However, thin walls lead to significant noise disturbances, with neighbors' activities audible. Slow landlord responsiveness, especially regarding noise complaints and mold issues, has been a major drawback. Management's lack of action on serious matters like mold infestation and noise concerns has caused health issues for tenants. Improvement in soundproofing, faster issue resolution, and more compassionate management are recommended to enhance tenant experience. Overall, the building's location and amenities are overshadowed by management and noise-related concerns.

    Paper thin walls
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful finishes throughout each unit
    Quiet neighborhood
    Rooftop
    Laundry
    Storage in basement
    Cons:
    Walls were so thin I could hear my neighbor sneeze
    Neighbors were slamming doors late at night or watching tv at loud volume
    Landlord doesn’t care about noise complaints
    Advice to owner:
    Improve the sound-proofing of each unit. You can hear literally everything your neighbor is doing.

    Mold Infested Apartment, Unresponsive Management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighborhood is amazing and the building is situated at the perfect location to enjoy the best of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Boerum Hill.
    Cons:
    Building management is extremely slow to solve problems in units. We had an ongoing mold issue caused by their slowness in making repairs post storms & AC unit problems. They gaslit us and claimed it was not mold - there was visible mold on our entire ceiling and professionals validated that. They let us live in mold for 2+ months and we’re pretty certain there is still mold in the ceiling after they “fixed it.” Impossible to work with.
    Advice to owner:
    Have compassion for your tenants. Our experience has been unacceptable here. You have caused health issues for us do to your lack of action on a serious matter. We’d love to stick around if it wasn’t for this - you’d have less turnaround if so.
