A prewar Highbridge co-op anchored by city-backed affordable housing covenants.
Built in 1925, this building on West 170th Street functions as a regulated affordable housing co-op. A series of public-interest housing covenants, including a $3.19M funding agreement finalized in 2017, secure its long-term affordability under the Highbridge Community Housing Development Fund. Three things to know:
Legally bound to stay affordable under long-term agreements. Covenants filed under the Highbridge Community Housing Development Fund keep these apartments permanently stabilized. This is not a market-rate building where a sponsor can transition units to private-market buyers; the structure is designed to safeguard the community's housing stock.
Plumbing and water issues highlight infrastructure strain. While there are no open code violations, residents have registered eight plumbing complaints and seven water leaks on file. Many of these issues, alongside eight heat complaints, point to localized cold-weather boiler and pipe pressure.
Indoor air quality alerts have bubbled up nearby. Six air quality complaints were logged on the surrounding blocks over the last year, with the most recent on July 2, 2026. These alerts typically stem from HVAC or riser bleed from commercial spaces or neighboring properties, which are nearly impossible to detect during a daytime viewing.
