    Review Summary for 142 West 123 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 142 West 123 Street paint a troubling picture, emphasizing severe issues with heating and hot water, often lasting several months, especially during winter. The building suffers from poor cleanliness, garbage management, pest control, and water pressure, contributing to a generally unpleasant living environment. While neighbors are noted to be kind and the location is seen as good, these positives are overshadowed by unresponsive and negligent landlord behavior, exacerbating maintenance issues. Renters strongly advise against living here due to ongoing problems and lack of owner accountability, making it a challenging choice for prospective tenants despite the community feel.

    DO NOT LIVE HERE
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the people who live on the block are AMAZING!
    Cons:
    as of 2/22/2025, we have been without heat and hot water for almost five months. the landlord (clover barrett) is unresponsive and will not fix the problem. she is a crook and should not be trusted. she blames the city for the problem, but in reality it is her own negligence that we are freezing in the dead of winter. DO NOT LIVE IN ANY OF HER PROPERTIES
