Rangel Houses are a public housing project owned by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). The housing complex consists of eight 14-story buildings and is located between the Harlem River Drive and the Harlem River Driveway in the Washington Heights and Harlem neighborhoods of Manhattan in New York City. ^[2] It was named after Ralph J. Rangel. The housing complex had 1,920 residents as of 2025.

History

This NYCHA property was completed in September 1951.

21st Century

The FEMA Funded the Rangel Houses Complex except for Buildings III, IV, and V with the Back-Up Power Generators on their rooftops and more security on the buildings and to remove the Hazardous Materials on the Buildings and clean its crawl spaces. In Building I, the FEMA replaced many kinds of water pumps and replaced the hot water tank with related pumping. ^[3]

In October 2023, NYCHA Announced that the repairs and redevelopments will be equipped to 984 apartments with Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) and totals over $552M. This redevelopment began in early 2025 with the Genesis and the Community League of the Heights (CLOTH). ^[4]
