What was once a grand building, the first of its kind in Harlem, is now last in the eyes of its residents. NatDuddridgeTV spoke to tenants who say it's been neglected for years and is now in squalor.

"If you look at it, you couldn't even think it is a landmark just by how it has been taken care of," Noel said.

As CBS2 was recording, a maintenance worker for the management company Shinda showed up. Duddridge asked him what's going on. "We are trying to fix it, you know? It's not only on us. It also falls on the tenants," the worker said. A notice on the wall from 2018 says,"It has come to management attention that the property is being destroyed by tenant and/or their visitors."

Tenants say that's not true, adding the building was fine until it was taken over by Shinda several years ago.And return it to the historic distinction it deserves.
