2283 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 5-story, 8-unit converted old law tenement at 2283 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Laura B Thomas Houses LP, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations. In early 2025, there were complaints about pests and ceiling issues, and the building has documented bedbug infestations in two units during the 2022-2023 reporting period. There are also current open violations regarding building systems, including an intercom system issue in apartment 4B and several safety concerns from 2024 affecting apartment 2A, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, door integrity, and bathroom fixtures.

The building has undergone several HPD inspections, with some violations being issued and others closed without findings of legal violations. Recent plumbing and maintenance issues include a heavy water leak complaint from late 2024, and there have been multiple complaints about heating and appliance issues. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2025, there was one instance of rat activity noted in June 2024.

The property has a documented history of pest-related complaints, with multiple service requests regarding unsanitary conditions, including poor sanitation and pest problems. There were also two sidewalk shed-related complaints in 2021, with one resulting in an Oath violation. Despite some of these issues being addressed through inspections and repairs, the building has ongoing maintenance challenges that continue to require attention.
