The building's operational file is light, but seasonal heat calls and surrounding street activity shape the daily experience.
A 15-unit pre-war building in Harlem where the property's own operational record stays thin, but winter heating calls and surrounding block activity carry the real context. Three things to know:
Heat calls cluster heavily in the coldest months. Five heat and hot water complaints were logged between November 2025 and February 2026, including a building-wide outage in early January. All five are marked resolved, but the winter cluster suggests seasonal heating strain.
The surrounding three blocks carry heavy party and sidewalk noise. 461 residential noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, with 265 explicitly citing loud music and parties. The building sits in a active stretch where sidewalk and neighborhood sound carries into the block.
An active leak complaint from late summer remains on file. A bedroom water leak complaint was opened in August 2026 and remains unresolved on file. Five door and window calls were also logged in summer 2025, pointing to occasional interior maintenance issues.
