Review Summary for 5 West 125 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 5 West 125 Street highlight a mix of modern amenities and management challenges. Tenants praise the building's cleanliness, pest control, and responsive super who maintains good communication. Apartments are noted for spacious layouts and features like virtual doormen and private outdoor spaces. However, concerns include overpopulation of dogs causing odors, thin walls leading to noise complaints, and persistent management issues such as slow maintenance responses and poor enforcement of rules. Some renters report faulty appliances and a lack of desired amenities like gyms. While the location has convenient transit access, the surrounding neighborhood may feel less vibrant to some.

It's Dog City
Former Tenant
Pros:
It is very modern, clean and I've never had any pest issues. The super is also VERY responsive and I can text him at any time and he responds. He also makes it a point to make sure tenants are happy. The view is also amazing.
Cons:
Way too many dogs in the building. It can cause the hallways to smell like urine and animals. The rooftop could be better maintained and especially for the spring/summer months.
Advice to owner:
Manage the dog owners and how many you allow in the building. Those of us who are not dog owners don't want to feel like we're living in a dog park.

Nice building, horrible management & location
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is nice with spacious units and virtual doorman, many with private outdoor space. The common roof deck on the 4th floor is spacious, though the way it is oriented blocks skyline views and there is no other common space like gym, etc. that would be expected at this price. Building attracts mostly professionals who are friendly but mostly keep to themselves. The super Tony is amazing and responsive (though management company is horrible).
Cons:
We had major leaks during storm season and spotty a/c during the entire time we lived there. Super Tony tried to address as best he could, but ACHS dragged their feet with every request. Major issues getting things approved with ACHS management company. We had to break our lease but had lined up a brokerage company to photograph and list the unit at a higher price on our behalf and made sure we were fully paid. ACHS management made the process extremely difficult, sending us angry all caps emails, and jipped us on our deposit. Walls are paper thin and units facing 126th will have lots of street noise. The area is also not that great: it is close to 2,3 train at 125th and the Whole Foods but far from the bars & restaurants and nicer park space by Frederick Douglass Blvd.
Advice to owner:
Like a lot of newer buildings, 6W126 has nice finishes and spacious layouts but the build quality is suspicious. Our fridge and a/c unit never worked properly and we lived there almost 4 years. Wonderful super, but horrible greedy management company that took months to approve major fixes due to leaks and handle a deposit issue. I would not recommend anyone rent in this building due to property management alone.
