A 20-unit regulated Harlem rental where winter heating drops and block-level air quality signals define the record.
This is a 20-unit Central Harlem rental operating under regulatory housing covenants. Housing-code violation data for the address is currently unverified due to missing city updates, but winter heat calls point to direct operational friction. Three things to know:
Heat and hot water drop predictably during cold weather. 10 heat and hot water complaints were logged between late 2025 and early 2026. Calls clustered on single dates like December 9, 2025, showing system-wide pressure during winter cold spells.
Air quality complaints linger across neighboring buildings. 11 indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last year. Odor and air-quality complaints across neighboring properties often stem from shared shaftway drift or commercial exhaust.
Block-level sanitation complaints run heavy. Within three blocks of the building, area maintenance calls show heavy local friction, led by 612 unsanitary condition reports over the past year—primarily driven by pest and mold complaints.
