Harlem, Manhattan

Harlem neighborhood report on Brix — violations, complaints, and landlord history for buildings in this area.

Brix tracks 4,110 buildings in Harlem, covering 82,824 apartments. Across them there are 46,406 open HPD violations, and 1,209 buildings carry at least one Class C hazard — the immediately hazardous tier covering things like no heat, no hot water, and lead paint.

Tenants filed 72,986 complaints against Harlem buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.88 per apartment. Complaints and violations are separate records: a complaint that closes without an inspector getting inside leaves no violation behind.

The pattern in Harlem is immediately hazardous violations (1,148 buildings), mold & leaks (908 buildings), and buildings getting worse (695 buildings). Those are the issue groups with the most buildings behind them here, not a ranking of severity.

The addresses carrying the most open violations in Harlem right now:

2541 Adam C Powell Blvd — 1,116 open violations
700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza — 763 open violations
503 West 133 Street, 10027 — 333 open violations
351 West 125 Street, 10027 — 317 open violations
543 West 125 Street, 10027 — 310 open violations

A high count usually means an older building with a long-running record, not necessarily the worst place to live — the building's own page shows what the violations are and whether they're being cleared.
