Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on EMPIRE MGMT AMERICA CORP buildings reveals a mixed picture. Many appreciate the convenient locations near major subway lines and Columbia University, spacious units, and some responsive superintendents. However, persistent issues include poor management responsiveness, frequent elevator breakdowns, pest infestations (especially roaches), package theft, and heating inconsistencies. Safety concerns and inadequate communication with tenants have also been noted. While the buildings can be decent options for students and those prioritizing location, renters often face delays in maintenance, questionable management conduct, and infrastructure challenges. Improvements in management attentiveness, pest control, and building security are highly recommended.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Enjoyed my time here

Pros

Close to 1 train, close-ish to C train, good grocery options, safe, quiet, clean

Cons

Occasionally saw a cockroach, bedroom got really hot from pipe so AC unit was a must, some package theft

Advice to the owners

Overall had a good experience, maybe just need to work on building access/package theft

Former tenant·7 months ago

Live elsewhere if you are student

Pros

Good location near campus, can be spacious (tho some apartments are arbitrarily divided for new bedrooms)

Cons

Rude management, constant roach infestation, and constant package theft Had a black mold infestation in the bathroom that management took weeks to fix and only painted over the mold spores
