Norway rats?? LMAO I forgot about the rats... I actually think West Harlem has East Harlem beat in that area, which is saying something. I have seen more rats (and I mean BIG ones) in West Harlem than in East Harlem, despite parts of East Harlem being decisively dirtier.
I think they're both equal, I've seen rat infestations in both East and West Harlem.
I think LES has both of them beat
Amsterdam Avenue in the 130s & 140s - lots of rats

I haven't seen much difference in East Harlem in the 10 years I have been in Manhattan.
Still gritty and dirty, but there are more "luxury" buildings popping up, especially along 3rd Avenue.
