Large Harlem affordable housing property where day-to-day maintenance complaints show persistent operational friction.
This 187-unit Harlem complex operates under regulatory housing programs with covenant-backed affordability structures. The building carries a thick internal complaint record around day-to-day maintenance while keeping city code violations minimal. Three things to know:
Unsanitary conditions and plumbing calls dominate tenant complaints. The city record shows 27 calls for unsanitary conditions and 16 plumbing calls from this address over the last year. These complaints concentrate on indoor living conditions—including open calls logged in July 2026 for pests, radiator issues, and cooking gas—pointing to ongoing maintenance backlog.
Bathroom mold violations from August 2025 remain open. Two Class B open violations were cited in August 2025 for visible mold greater than 10 square feet in a third-floor bathroom. While the open code violation count is low relative to the 187 units, water-leak and mold issues point to riser or pipe maintenance needs that require board attention.
Curbside double-parking dominates the immediate blockface. Within three blocks of the building, 455 illegal parking complaints were filed in the last 12 months, with 320 specifically for double-parking blocking traffic. Residential noise calls on the surrounding blocks also logged 257 calls, mostly for banging and music.
