Summary

AK Houses is a 157-apartment East Harlem rental offering one- through four-bedroom floor plans across 112–126 East 128th Street. The current property site emphasizes larger bedroom counts and contact-based leasing rather than a broad amenity package; limited recent resident feedback praises the community but raises apartment-condition and repair concerns.
