Review Summary for Oxford Towers Co. LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants of OXFORD TOWERS CO. LLC buildings, especially at 280 Riverside Drive, appreciate the friendly and helpful doormen, well-maintained pre-war architecture, and quiet, respectful neighbors. Cleanliness and garbage management are generally good, while water pressure is reliable. However, pest control issues, particularly roaches in basements and occasional bugs in summer, persist despite treatment efforts. Heating is mostly adequate but can sometimes be weak. Management responsiveness varies, with some tenants finding it timely and others slow. Additional fees for amenities like gym and roof access are unpopular and seen as a deterrent. Overall, tenants value the community atmosphere but suggest improving pest control and reconsidering amenity charges.

Great Building Overall
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pre-War building, the doormen are extremely nice and helpful, walls are thick and the tenants are nice and respectful
Cons:
Additional expenses to use amenities that should be accessible to the building (room, gym - I have seen 1-2 people on the roof since moving in it seems a waste to have it not be used but the pricing is so high). The elevator has been consistently broken on one side of the building which is frustrating, but they do use the service to get us up and down. Also, lots of roaches in the basement but seems to be addressed quickly when letting the super know.
Advice to owner:
Remove the fees on the amenities - clearly you are not making money off of it since no one uses the roof and gym and it will drive the buildings worth

Beautiful prewar building
Former Tenant
Pros:
The doormen are all amazing and super helpful; super was handy and responded quickly. Great rooftop
Cons:
Slight roach problem; pest bombing the place helped tremendously- the exterminator didn’t help much; washers and dryers break often
Advice to owner:
Treat the building for roaches

Avoid floors 14 and up
Former Tenant
Pros:
Really fantastic staff and mostly great neighbors. So close to the park and convenient. Most units are gorgeous and kept up to date, even the smaller lines like the G units.
Cons:
Run by a impersonal and money-grubbing management company that is trying to sneak their way out of the few rent stabilized units left in the building. They may show you the gym and roof during the tour, but both cost upwards of $500/year to access and aren't that great. Lastly, but importantly, the guy living in 14G sucks.
Advice to owner:
Kick out the guy in 14G

Lovely and safe building in the UWS
Former Tenant
Pros:
The sweetest doormen!! Beautiful lobby and building. The neighbors are a little older but they’re so sweet and kind.
Cons:
The laundry room closes at 10pm so makes it hard to do laundry!
