2079 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10027

This four-story, three-unit old law tenement building located at 2079 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Mari Longo and constructed in 1908, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2022-2023, there were significant concerns regarding electrical wiring, with both a 311 service request and a Housing Maintenance Code emergency complaint related to wiring issues, though both were ultimately closed with no violations found. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention, with no infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2024), and all required annual bedbug reports have been filed.

Recent inspections have revealed some ongoing concerns, particularly regarding building maintenance. In August 2023, the Department of Buildings issued a violation related to improper support for window A/C units on floors 1, 2, 3, and 4, though no penalties were imposed. A work without permit complaint from November 2022 was investigated but no violations were found.

The building has experienced some rodent-related issues, with a rat activity finding in August 2023, though subsequent inspections in late 2023 and 2024 have passed successfully. The property has had multiple housing maintenance violations throughout its history, though most have been resolved, with a notable Class A violation in 2022 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, which was subsequently certified as corrected. While the building has passed numerous inspections and maintained relatively accurate record-keeping, the presence of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building upkeep is required.
