Reviews of 867 West 181 Street

Former tenant·4 minutes ago

Bare minimum living facilities

Pros

Friendly neighbors, quiet area, near local restaurants and parks. Package locker was handy.

Cons

Constant lapses in heat and hot water, specially in the winter. Spent entire cold front without heat, shivering in apartment. Forced to go multiple days with ice-cold water only. Laundry in building but machines to buy laundry cards are not maintained, so new tenants unable to use the basement laundry unless previous tenant left behind their card. Rats and large roaches in basement were commonplace. Spent whole year without gas.
