Tenant rights problem in Harlem?
Eviction notice. Illegal lockout. Mold or no-heat conditions. Lead paint exposure. Landlord harassment. Harlem is a major uptown Manhattan corridor with the 125th Street commercial strip, the Apollo Theater, Mount Sinai Morningside (St. Luke's), and Harlem Hospital. Dense pre-war apartment stock, ongoing waves of rezoning and redevelopment, and active rent-stabilization disputes. Heavy pedestrian volume along Lenox/Adam Clayton Powell/Frederick Douglass Boulevards and on the 2/3/4/5 subway corridors. Harlem tenants are protected by your legal right to a livable apartment, the NYS New York's tenant-protection law, and local ordinances. We represent tenants — never landlords.

Facing an eviction or unsafe conditions in Harlem? Here's what we know about your case.
Harlem housing rights cases — including illegal evictions, harassment, rent overcharge, and habitability claims — are handled in Housing Court (Civil Court of the City of New York) or New York County Supreme Court (60 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007), depending on case posture. We file in both routinely.
The dominant claim patterns: NYCHA developments, rent-stabilized buildings, and a high concentration of landlord-tenant disputes including illegal lockouts and habitability claims. We work with local agencies, building inspectors, and HR departments on these claims routinely.
Don't wait. Evidence preservation is the difference between a settled claim and a denied one.
