Reviews of 817 West 181 Street

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

All in all enjoy living here, could be improved

Pros

The apartments are spacious and good bang for the buck. The layout of our apartment is also very functional. The building is uncommonly friendly. The walls are thick and I don't hear my nextdoor neighbors, just the people who live above us.

Cons

The building is not kept clean, at all. We've had a lot of problems with cockroaches. We also have had many issues with package theft. The owners are very slow to respond to issues. I can't take garbage out after dark because of rats-- the garbage situation is almost always overflowing.

Advice to the owners

Please get the entire public area of the building deep cleaned and repainted.
