    Review Summary for 18 West 125 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 18 West 125 Street in Manhattan depict a building with a prime location near multiple transportation options and local amenities, making it convenient for residents. Tenants appreciate renovated apartments with in-unit laundry, a friendly maintenance crew, and generally responsive ownership. The building fosters a pleasant neighborly atmosphere and maintains reasonable cleanliness and pest control. However, heating is a consistent issue, especially in older units reliant on steam heat, leading to cold spells or overheating. Security concerns arise from a lack of doorman, broken front door locks, and non-functional cameras, causing safety worries. Accessibility challenges exist due to the absence of an elevator.

    Ok building, tough street to live on
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Living in an inside facing apartment, it was quiet as a mouse at night! I had wonderful nights of sleep here.
    Cons:
    No doorman and front door lock often busted. We had a lot of strangers wander into the building off 125th St. Felt very unsafe

    Gentrified Harlem Apt
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Renovated apartment with new appliances
    Great maintenance when they show up
    Laundry in unit
    Cons:
    KSR realty bought a lot of apartments uptown to rent to young professionals looking for affordable Manhattan apartments, but are not ready to provide professional service to tenants. It is nearly impossible to get ahold of the super. The building also has non working cameras and I was unable to get footage of stolen items in the lobby due to non working cameras. They weren’t even plugged in. Lazy slumlords
    Advice to owner:
    Do better
