515 Edgecombe Avenue

515 Edgecombe Avenue was built in 1923 and con­vert­ed to a coop­er­a­tive in 1987. The build­ing is a 5‑floor walk-up with 23 units and is more than 95% own­er occu­pied. Building ameni­ties include bike stor­age for a fee and rent­ed stor­age lockers.

Situated at the cor­ner of West 158 Street and Edgecombe Avenue in the his­toric Sugar Hill neigh­bor­hood of Harlem, this well-run and main­tained coop­er­a­tive is locat­ed across from Highbridge Park where there are walk­ing and bik­ing paths,  play­grounds, and bas­ket­ball and hand­ball courts.

The coop­er­a­tive build­ing is a 4‑minute walk to the C train at W 155 and an 8‑minute walk to the 1 train at Broadway. The south-bound M2 bus stops in front of the build­ing and runs between the East Village 8 St via 5 Ave and to Washington Heights Broadway-168 St.

The build­ing is a mile from Yankee Stadium and has quick access to the George Washington Bridge. There is lots of street park­ing in the neighborhood.

Two blocks north is the his­toric Morris-Jumel Mansion and two blocks south is the new Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling.  A short 15 minute walk north takes you to the Highbridge Recreation Center with a large out­door swim­ming (fea­tured in the movie In the Heights), the High Bridge (the old­est bridge in New York City) and the soar­ing 200ft High Bridge Water Tower.

Smart composting bins

The city has launched its Smart Compost pro­gram in our neighborhood. 

Forty-five “smart bins” that accept food scraps have been installed on the streets of Morningside Heights, Central Harlem, East Harlem, West Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood, includ­ing the South Bronx.

The new smart com­post bin loca­tions are marked on the NYC Compost app, and you can com­post your food scraps by unlock­ing these orange bins using the NYC Compost app.

The NYC Compost app can be down­loaded for free for Android and iOS smartphones.

Accepted items include fruit, veg­eta­bles, meat, bones, dairy, pre­pared food, food-soiled paper and plants.

The use of bags—plastic, paper or compostable—is sug­gest­ed to keep mess to a minimum.
