I know this is a long time after your post. However, my friend got murdered there and it is a horrifying place. Real estate is not a good source to solely base your decision on...
The answers below are all correct about criminal statistics and safety in the city and various neighborhoods. However your question specifically asks about 80/20 buildings which are located in various neighborhoods.
Your question asks about criminal activity in Manhattan apartment buildings "elevator and hallways show abuse" Your question links scratches in elevators and hallways to criminal activity. I've never heard that before.
Movers and furniture deliveries etc.scratch elevators moving furniture in an out of buildings particularly rental buildings because of transiency. Some of the finest most exclusive prewar and postwar coops have scratched elevators and hall ways. In my luxury coop building's elevator the imported Brazilian cherry wood is terribly scratched. It is called wear and tear.
The real question you should be asking is can your college grad daughter and her roommate qualify to rent a $5000/month apartment in Manhattan. Most buildings require 40x rent in documented income. They will need a minimum combined income of $200,000/year. Some buildings allow a parent as a guarantor the parent would need an income of at least 80x rent ($400,000) and possibly several months rent up front or a large security deposit... more

I live right on the corner of 145th and Bradhurst. I think you just need to use common sense and stay aware when walking down Bradhurst, or any street at night. No ipods or cellphones, just stay alert to what's going on around you.
There are several police precients in the area, the metro station has a police station on site and there's a station on Frederick Douglas at 147th.
If you're concerned, I might walk down to that street and then take a cross street to Bradhurst, but overall, I've felt safe and secure in this neighborhood.
Welcome to the neighborhood!... more

Safe investment? or safe to live?
Harlem is as safe as any other neighborhood in the city, but property values have been near the apex for some time so the value is not the same where it was say 3 years back. However, there are different enclaves within Harlem that you can look at for comparison, you have Spanish Harlem, Harlem proper, Sugar Hill, Strivers Row (arguably the most beautiful block in NYC), etc...
Good luck with your search!
Best Regards,
Yocari... more
John,
The best resource for this information is the local police department or county sheriff's department. They have access to the most current and accurate information and are generally very willing to be helpful.
Good luck... more
you want advice about crime, stay south of 96th. That's it. Its a young area and fun especially if you're into going out, getting drunk and being dumb. The locations for that are endless. If you go north, stay close, south you can go as far as you can walk.... more

Hope this helps and feel free to contact me with any additional questions.... more
My Brother works for a Commercial Property Management company that manages high density living (apartments and condo's). He has shared many stories about how people have broken into everything from the Office, Maintenance Rooms, Storage Rooms, Club Houses, and Dwellings. Front doors are the usual means of breaking-in. Depending on the construction of the buildings, entering through windows are most common on the 1st floor, then 2nd floor, and even 3rd floor (the 3rd floor window break-ins used adjacent trees). Many people don't or forget to lock their balcony doors/windows. Climbing up and down balconies is very easy. Lastly, some enter from the roof tops by way of balconies, attic vents and access doors. The most bizarre break-in story I heard, the thief couldn't kick-in the door, so he broke into the neighbors apartment and beat his way through the sheet rock of a common wall; I would consider this very rare. My recommendation is to rent a property that has a security alarm, complete with window, door, and motion sensors. Good luck!... more
before my editorial, some fact: Pound for pound, or per capita NYC is the safest city in the world....
that being said it depends what kind of crimes, I mean the upper east side is probably low on murder rates, yet high on white collar tax evasion, lol...
but seriously, overall NYC is pretty dynamic, if I had to pick the safest area in the city I would pick the upper east side 70-86th 1st ave to the park... then again car theft there may be higher, possibly the occassional mugging or rape...but that goes for any city in the world.... more
