2059 Adam C Powell Blvd
This building has a substantial enforcement record over the last seven years, and our model predicts continuing maintenance failures over the next 12 months. Read the records below before you sign. Ask which issues were resolved, get repair commitments in writing, and inspect the unit yourself.
This building has 26 recorded HPD violations, at or below the Harlem average of 48.5.
The 5-story, 13-unit building at 2059 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Green Apollo LLC, has a troubling history marked by several significant incidents and persistent maintenance issues, with the most concerning being a fire on March 1, 2024, that caused substantial damage to the roof and second floor wood joists above a deli, along with fire and smoke damage throughout two apartment lines. This incident triggered multiple violations related to structural compromise and required repairs, though these were subsequently dismissed by March 2026. The building has an alarming record of maintenance violations over the past seven years, including 19 Class C (Immediately Hazardous) violations and 30 service requests through 311, with recurring issues relating to rodent problems, door/window concerns, and wall maintenance. Most notably, there is currently an active ECB violation regarding an unauthorized Class B apartment in the cellar that was observed to contain sleeping arrangements and cooking facilities without natural light, which carries a $12,500 penalty. There are also ongoing concerns with building safety and compliance, including four active Department of Buildings violations from 2024-2025 related to pressure boiler inspections and failure to certify correction of hazardous violations.

What's in the 2059 Adam C Powell Blvd report
Is 2059 Adam C Powell Blvd rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 2059 Adam C Powell Blvd covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
