Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews highlight a mix of positives and negatives at 964 Amsterdam Avenue. Renovated units with tall ceilings and good light are praised, along with decent-sized bedrooms in proximity to Columbia's campus. However, issues like unresponsive management, pest infestation, old piping causing maintenance problems, and noisy surroundings are notable concerns. Responsive maintenance for certain issues is acknowledged, but the overall building experience seems to be inconsistent. Despite some positive aspects, potential renters should consider these drawbacks before making a decision.

Some great renovated apartments
Former Tenant
Pros:
Some units are renovated and very nice. Very tall ceilings and great light. Neighbors often nice and kind.
Cons:
Management isn’t always very responsive so have to call a few times if need them. Some people leave trash outside of trash room so it smells but cannot smell it in apartments.

cheap living near columbia's campus
Former Tenant
Pros:
decent sized bedrooms with fairly new kitchen and bathroom and with laundry and dishwasher in unit
Cons:
very unresponsive landlord. no major maintenance issues but when we did have an issue it would often be ignored. for example 2 bedrooms did not have window screens and the landlord ignored several requests to have them put in , finally they claimed that they were not required
-- of renters received their security deposits back
