1867 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10026

The seven-story, 34-unit tenement building at 1867 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, built in 1925 and owned by Ronald Donaldson, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been three heat and hot water complaints in the past three years, with the most recent instance in January 2025 resulting in HPD's inability to gain apartment access for inspection. The building has also faced indoor air quality concerns, with documented chemical odors in 2022 and 2020, and multiple mold-related complaints in 2020.

Recent violations include two open notices from December 2024 in apartment 1C regarding improper closet doors and painting issues, and a notable exterior facade maintenance violation from April 2024 resulting in a $2,500 penalty for an unsecured satellite on the parapet wall. The property has demonstrated inconsistent maintenance of essential building systems and compliance with regulatory requirements. There are active violations for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report and the 2017 annual boiler inspection report.

While rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025 have generally passed, there were instances of rat activity noted in January and February 2019. The bedbug reporting history shows one infested unit in the 2024-2025 filing period, with no eradication documented, though previous years reported no infestations. The building has maintained a regular inspection schedule with passing results for several years, though the persistence of various violations and service complaints suggests ongoing management challenges.
