Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Buildings managed by STEPHEN NIX are conveniently located, often near campuses like Columbia University, and tenants find the spaces spacious, quiet, and fairly clean. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized, with tenants reporting difficulties in getting timely repairs, especially for safety-related maintenance and pest control issues like recurring bed bugs. Heating is inconsistent, ranging from overly hot to freezing, and some appliances remain broken for extended periods. While some appreciate attentive onsite managers who try to address neighbor disturbances, overall communication and repair handling need significant improvement. Prospective renters should balance the affordable rent and location against these management challenges.
