Reviews of 18 West 125 Street

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Ok building, tough street to live on

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

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Gentrified Harlem Apt

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
