Subsidized pre-war housing with minimal open violations, but administrative reporting gaps and multi-system maintenance batches.
This is a 10-unit Central Harlem rental operating as fully subsidized affordable housing under LIHTC and HUD covenants. Long-term public financing agreements keep the regulatory structure and unit count stable. Three things to know:
Two open Class A violations stem from unfiled annual bedbug reports. The building carries two active Class A violations, both for failing to file annual bedbug reports (issued June 2025 and April 2026). While Class A is the lowest severity tier, missing consecutive annual filings points to administrative delay rather than major physical defects.
Complaints surface in multi-system batches rather than single calls. In November 2025, a single day logged complaints spanning seven separate systems—plumbing, cooking gas, mold, electrical, doors, and heat—followed by another multi-system report in January 2026. This pattern indicates batch reporting across units or comprehensive building sweeps rather than isolated failures.
17 air quality and food establishment calls logged within three blocks. Within three blocks, city systems logged 10 indoor air quality complaints and 7 food establishment calls over the past year. While the building's own record remains clear of air quality calls, commercial venting and cooking odors can travel through shafts or open windows on lower levels.
