A Harlem condo dealing with active penthouse repairs on an active block.
This low-rise building has a thin footprint of resident complaints but carries a couple of unresolved top-floor issues. While the street grid around it is busy, the building stays out of the local operational filings. Three things to know:
Active penthouse damage hasn't been cleared. The building carries unresolved housing-code violations issued on June 5, 2026, both targeting apartment 7PH. There is an active ceiling leak and defective wood flooring below it. In a condo, while unit floor repairs are often a resident's job, ceiling leaks frequently trace back to shared roof drainage, making it a board responsibility to finance and resolve.
Local air quality complaints warrant a closer look downstairs. In the three blocks around the building, five indoor air quality calls were logged over the last year, with the latest on May 19, 2026. While this address has no air-quality filings of its own, odors and fumes often migrate through shared basements, risers, or retail venting on the block.
The surrounding streets have a busy maintenance profile. While this low-rise building remains relatively insulated, the immediate area sees heavy service activity. Within three blocks, neighbors filed 256 unsanitary condition calls over the last year—with pests making up 140 of those—along with 224 plumbing complaints, driven by 73 water supply issues.
