Small Central Harlem rental where individual unit filings are light, though nearby block activity is busy.
An 11-unit Central Harlem pre-war building where individual unit complaint filings are minimal, but surrounding block-level activity carries heavy volume. Three things to know:
Indoor banging and street noise dominate the immediate area. Within three blocks of the building, residents logged 649 residential noise complaints over the past year, with 529 specifically naming indoor banging and pounding. Another 137 calls cited street and sidewalk noise, driven mostly by outdoor music and gatherings.
Indoor air quality calls pop up nearby and warrant a floor check. Four indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last year. While the building itself logged a ventilation filing in mid-2025 that was closed, air quality and odor migration through risers remain an essential check before signing.
Unsanitary condition calls run frequent across neighboring blocks. The surrounding three blocks logged 121 unsanitary condition calls over the trailing 12 months, split largely between pest sightings and mold complaints. Environmental calls remain frequent across neighboring parcels.
