Augrented Insights Report for 2139 Adam C Powell Blvd

The 10-story, 60-unit building at 2139 Adam C. Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Michael Mccarthy, has experienced several recurring issues since its completion in 2015, with the most significant problems occurring in 2025. Recent service requests and violations show persistent concerns with heat/hot water systems, water leaks, mold, and plumbing issues.

In particular, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2025, including several classified as immediate emergencies. Between April and June 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions (including mold), water leaks, and plumbing issues affecting different apartments. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 and 2025 indicate problems with hot water supply (Apt 1006), gas range service (Apt 204), electrical outlets, and various maintenance issues in Apt 804 including mold, water leaks, and roach infestation.

The building has faced ongoing elevator maintenance challenges, with multiple violations and complaints between 2019 and 2022 related to various elevator devices and safety systems, culminating in ECB violations with penalties totaling $5,625. However, the building has maintained a good rodent control record, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025. There have been three documented bedbug infestations (in 2018-2019, 2021-2022, and 2023-2024) but the most recent reports show zero infested units. While the building passed recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding water systems, mold, and building infrastructure, is notable, with many complaints requiring HPD intervention and resulting in violations that require correction by the property owner.
