There is really no precise answer to this question. The majority of New York City's neighborhoods do not have precise boundaries.
I would say that Harlem runs south to north from about 110th Street to around 135th Street, but other people might say it runs from 106th Street to 130th Street, or 116th Street to 145th Street. West to east, however, its boundaries are pretty precise: it runs from the east side of Morningside Park -- the avenue known as Morningside Avenue -- to Fifth Avenue).
There are actually two Harlems, West Harlem and East Harlem. West Harlem -- which is normally called just plain, "Harlem," by native New Yorkers and out-of-towners alike -- is the historic black neighborhood where the Harlem Renaissance took place. East Harlem, which is also called Spanish Harlem, is a predominantly Latino neighborhood.
East Harlem is one of the few New York City neighborhoods that has pretty precise boundaries. It runs south to north from 96th Street to around 135th Street, and west to east from Fifth Avenue to the East River.

Is Harlem a city?
No, Harlem is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan, in New York City. Actually, it is technically two neighborhoods, West Harlem and East Harlem. East Harlem is also called Spanish Harlem, because it is home to a very large Latino community. West Harlem, on the other hand, is primarily (and historically) a black neighborhood, although in recent years it has seen a big increase in its white population. The neighborhoods do not have precise boundaries, so everybody has a different opinion as to exactly where Harlem begins and ends. Generally speaking, however, West Harlem runs south to north from West 110th Street to West 145th Street, and west to east from the Hudson River to Park Avenue. East Harlem, or Spanish Harlem, runs south to north from East 96th Street to East 145th Street, and west to east from Park Avenue to the East River. 125th Street, which is a two-laned street that runs west/east and east/west from the Hudson River to the East River and back, is considered the heart of Harlem.
