Harlem prewar condo dealing with a heavy stack of unresolved maintenance issues.
Built in 1920, the Strathmore Condominium is a 28-unit prewar building managed by the Lovett Company. While it is a condo, meaning individual residents own their spaces, the shared infrastructure is carrying a notable backlog of open issues. Three things to know:
A heavy stack of open violations, including severe hazards. The building carries 59 open housing-code violations, and 11 of them are classified as immediately hazardous. The trouble spots aren't isolated; recent citations point to active roof leaks pouring into top-floor units, kitchen water-line leaks, and mold downstairs. Because this is a condo, clearing building-wide issues like roof repairs requires common board funds, which can trigger unexpected assessments.
The surrounding streets are highly active, especially after dark. There were 928 street-noise complaints filed within three blocks over the last year, split almost evenly between loud talking and street parties. The block's soundscape is lively year-round, with the most recent street-noise complaint logged on August 5, 2026.
Water is finding its way through the ceilings of multiple units. Top-floor residents have repeatedly flagged water damage, with roof leaks dripping into hallways and kitchens in apartment 6D as recently as June 2026. Water-pipe defects and bathroom leaks are also peppered across middle-floor units like 4E and 2D, indicating a wider riser or plumbing issue.
