New York City Housing Auth

Over at 1605 Madison Ave, the New York City Housing Auth administers public housing programs. Tenant eligibility, lease renewals, income recertifications, unit transfers and emergency repairs all funnel through their central office. Waiting list inquiries remain a consistent part of daily operations. Repairs are routed by ticket once a request is submitted. The building sits in East Harlem, a neighborhood that continues to shape the city’s affordable housing landscape.

Directly on Madison Avenue, help is available Monday through Friday. Reach them at (212) 831-8800 for appointments or follow-up questions. You’ll find clear directions on their map if you’re coming from uptown or midtown: view the route before you leave.
