2031 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 6-story, 12-unit building at 2031 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Northern Man Equities, has experienced recurring heat and water issues over the past two years. Most notably, there were multiple heating system complaints between 2024 and 2025, with several building-wide outages documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, including a heavy water leak complaint in November 2024, multiple plumbing issues affecting bathtubs/showers (April and June 2024), and violations related to peeling paint in Apartment 2A.

Recent inspections in 2024-2025 revealed active rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity," though the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 passed. Additionally, there are open violations from September 2024 concerning pest infestations (mice and roaches) in Apartment 3B, and window issues in Apartments 3B and 5C that require repair. While the building has maintained a history of completing some repairs (as indicated by violation certifications), the recurring nature of heating and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building's history shows some periodic attention to compliance matters, including inspections related to Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access. Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four years, with no documented cases between 2021 and 2025. A permit for unspecified work was issued in January 2020, but the specific nature of the work is not indicated in the available records. Recent housing maintenance inspections in 2024-2025 have documented various violations, including inadequate heating system access and building entrance security issues, though many of these violations have been certified as corrected through subsequent inspections.
