2042 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10027
This 5-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building dating from 1910 has experienced recurring pest control issues in recent years, particularly concerning rodent infestations. As of July 2025, there is an active rat infestation problem, with multiple inspections throughout 2025 showing consistent rat activity even after bait applications. The building has also suffered from various maintenance and safety issues, including open violations as of late 2024 related to pest infestations (mice and roaches) and floor repairs in multiple apartments (410 and 504).
Earlier violations from 2024-2025 noted problems with fire doors in public hallways on multiple floors, which were previously classified as C violations. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with an active complaint as of December 2024 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, following a pattern of similar complaints in 2022. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including a period of mold and flooring problems documented in March-April 2024, and various appliance-related issues.
While the building has maintained a zero-bedbug infestation record in recent annual filings from 2022-2025, the rodent problem persists despite multiple treatment attempts. The property has active violations as of September 2024 regarding failure to file required external low pressure inspections, and various housing maintenance code violations from 2023-2024. Regular inspections and service requests document the ongoing challenges faced by management in maintaining the building's conditions and addressing resident concerns.
