2195 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10027

The five-story, four-unit residential building at 2195 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Joseph Aizer and constructed in 1910, has experienced significant maintenance and service issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building and water supply problems, suggesting persistent system maintenance challenges.

These complaints followed a series of concerning incidents in 2024, including heavy water leaks, sewage issues, and door/window problems that were either resolved or were still open as of early 2025. While the building has maintained a regular bedbug reporting record (showing no infestations or re-infested units since 2019) and passed multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2025, there have been recurring maintenance violations including elevator issues (2019), multiple instances of self-closing door problems (2023), and various complaints regarding unauthorized work and after-hours activities (2024). The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with recent Housing Maintenance Code violations primarily affecting the 1st-floor apartment's ceiling, plaster surfaces, and light fixture, all of which were certified as corrected by August 2024.

The property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, indicating effective pest management, though a "Rat Activity" report in March 2022 suggests temporary issues at that time. The building's systems have shown recurring problems with heating and water supply, as evidenced by the frequency of emergency complaints in 2024-2025, though many of these were ultimately closed with indications of corrections being made. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations since at least 2019, and while there have been various complaints about different building systems and maintenance issues, most have been resolved through proper channels.
