Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings under Thomas Ettinger suggests a generally attentive and responsive management approach, especially valued by student residents near Columbia University. The superintendent is often praised for responsiveness and helpfulness, contributing to a supportive living environment. However, the buildings themselves tend to be older with some wear, outdated appliances, limited kitchen ventilation, and occasional maintenance issues like slanted stairs. Garbage management has received mixed reviews, with one tenant describing troublesome oversight. Noise levels can vary, particularly in student-populated buildings. While not all renters recommend the buildings, many appreciate the landlord's engagement and proactive communication.

Great for students

Pros

Close to school and a ton of restaurants, as well as subway Superintendent responsive on issues Great south facing windows

Cons

Ventilation not the best for stovetop Appliances a little old

Former tenant·5 months ago

Family-Business Landlord who really looks out for student tenants

Pros

Mark is a wonderful landlord who is often seen around the building helping out and available. For students moving into their first NYC apartment, this is a good first step with other Columbia students as neighbors and an attentive landlord right off campus. Free laundry in the building is also an amazing pro. On the same street as a Columbia dorm, so campus security patrol our block as well. I lived there for 3 years and never saw a mouse. I saw 3 cockroaches in 3 years. Pretty good stats...

Cons

It is an old building. Old appliances, in many cases very worn or dirty from years of use. Worth looking unit by unit to make sure it is up to your standards. It's not a dealbreaker for everyone, but you should know going in.
