Small-scale Central Harlem walk-up where active ceiling mold and neighborhood food-venting patterns require a close look before signing.
Six-unit Central Harlem walk-up where the interior operation carries an active mold violation alongside recent leak reports, while commercial noise and food-establishment venting affect the immediate surroundings. Three things to know:
One active violation flags bathroom ceiling mold and underlying moisture issues. One open Class A violation issued in May 2026 flags a small mold condition on a bathroom ceiling in Apartment 1. Related complaints for damp spots, wall plaster, and ventilation system issues were logged in May and July 2026 and later closed.
Neighborhood food-establishment venting and odors drift through nearby blocks. 45 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, running alongside heavy commercial noise calls. Kitchen exhaust and odor drift from nearby commercial spaces can travel through light wells or shared risers.
Late-night music and commercial noise run heavy within three blocks. 284 commercial noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the past 12 months, driven almost entirely by loud music and parties. While the calls are neighborhood-scoped, street-facing units bear the brunt of the late-night sound.
