138 West 112th Street, Manhattan

A 10-unit Harlem walk-up carrying 22 open violations across unit upkeep, alongside notable street noise and indoor air quality reports nearby.

This 10-unit Harlem walk-up carries 22 open code violations, including two Class C immediately hazardous orders issued in August 2026. Heavy building-level upkeep friction combines with persistent sidewalk noise and air-quality calls nearby. Three things to know:

A single apartment accounts for both open Class C immediately hazardous violations. Inspectors cited Apartment 4B for a roach infestation across the entire unit alongside a broken hydronic baseboard heater cover on August 18 and 19, 2026. The same apartment accounts for a string of open Class B and A violations covering broken cabinet hinges, damaged vinyl floor tiles, and unpainted walls.

Surrounding blocks show a persistent pattern of indoor air quality calls. Within three blocks, 14 Indoor Air Quality complaints were logged over the last 12 months, with the most recent call recorded on September 10, 2026. Air quality and odor issues often travel through shared building risers, ventilation shafts, or ground-floor commercial spaces before residents notice them indoors.

Street noise stays heavy along the surrounding blockface. Over the past year, 531 street noise calls were logged within three blocks, heavily driven by loud talking (340 calls) and block parties (191 calls). In a 10-unit building, apartments facing West 112th Street absorb far more curb-side noise than rear units facing the interior block.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 8 building-level door and entrance complaints logged between April and June 2026
• 66 encampment assistance calls recorded within three blocks over the past year
• 73 homeless assistance requests logged within three blocks in the last 12 months
