The building maintains zero open violations on file, though the surrounding three blocks report active air quality and noise complaints.
This 18-unit Harlem rental operates under affordable housing programs (LIHTC and HUD oversight). While the building's own record carries zero open code violations, the surrounding blockface sees notable environmental and residential friction. Three things to know:
Air quality and food venting complaints recur within three blocks. 11 indoor air quality complaints and 6 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the trailing 12 months. Fume and odor complaints often stem from shared venting or street-level food prep, making vertical placement and shaft proximity critical.
Late-night residential noise clusters on the surrounding blocks. 152 residential noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, with 91 specifically reporting loud parties and music. Because the building itself shows no internal party complaints, street exposure dictates the noise profile.
