1855 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10026

1855 Adam C Powell Blvd is a 6-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Jennifer Ollman. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints documented through 2025, though most were resolved promptly with confirmation of repairs. More recent concerns include ongoing rodent challenges, with multiple rat activity inspections throughout 2024-2025 showing consistent presence despite bait application efforts.

The building has faced some maintenance compliance issues, including several violations related to building safety and maintenance regulations in 2021, such as posting requirements for carbon monoxide detector notices, smoke detector requirements, and emergency procedures, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected. In 2023, violations were issued for failure to file required energy benchmarking reports, and there were earlier elevator and gas utility concerns in 2021, which were investigated but did not result in penalties. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent annual reports from 2021-2024 showing no infestations or eradications.

Historical data indicates some access issues during inspections in late 2019 regarding door/window complaints. The building's management has been proactive in addressing most complaints, as evidenced by the quick resolution of recent heating issues in early 2025, though some systemic problems, particularly with heating and rodent control, appear to persist. The property has two active violations from 2020-2023 related to failure to file benchmarking reports, though one was dismissed after confirmation of submission in 2023.
