Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by COLUMBUS EQUITIES LLC reveal a mixed experience with management responsiveness, often described as slow or unhelpful, especially regarding pest control and maintenance issues. Tenants frequently report persistent rodent problems and inconsistent garbage handling. Heating systems tend to be costly and inefficient, contributing to high utility bills. However, some buildings offer spacious apartments with good water pressure and friendly neighbors, and a few tenants note improvements with responsive supers and management in certain locations. To enhance tenant satisfaction, focus on improving pest control, heating efficiency, and timely communication with residents is essential.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

fine but has issues

Pros

super is responsive

Cons

management company is EXTREMELY, unresponsive regular mice heat works ok, but the bill gets super high in winter courtyard noise gets extremely loud and echoey if you are in a back facing apartment definitely overpriced for what you get

Former tenant·2 weeks ago

Great area, expensive utilities

Pros

Location, good overall

Cons

Trash management isn’t consistent, buts it’s never been too bad. The utilities were very expensive, I believe due to bad window insulation (there are a lot of windows, nice for sun)

Advice to the owners

Improve building energy efficiency/fix drafty windows- it’s too expensive to heat apartment in winter
