Review summary

Recent reviews of 245 East 124 Street praise its cleanliness, pest-free environment, and spacious apartment layouts, with many noting friendly doormen and convenient proximity to the train and local stores. Tenant feedback highlights efficient garbage management and strong water pressure. However, concerns are raised about inconsistent heating controls, slow maintenance response times, and noise from nearby streets and a fire station.

While management is generally seen as responsive, some advise improving communication and security presence, especially during weekends. Despite drawbacks, many tenants recommend the building for its amenities and location.

Great building/too many addicts around neighborhood

Pros

The building is CLEAN. 2 years here and have never seen any pest (knock on wood). Management is responsive. Neighbors are quiet.

Cons

Heat is on your electric bill (so between constantly paying for air in the summer and heat in the winter it’s a high bill). The unit that controls air and heat is difficult to control and it’s either too hot or too cold. Third and second Avenue can be full of addicts and homelessness. It’s depressing to see.

Advice to the owners

Doormen during the week are fantastic. The weekend ‘security’ you hire for the front desk barely look up at anyone entering the building.
