The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 2256 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Adi Selimovic, has experienced ongoing heat and safety issues in recent months. Between December 2024 and January 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, with HPD unable to gain access for inspections on several occasions. A cluster of maintenance issues was documented in January 2025, including problems with windows, doors, flooring, and plaster, with inspections confirming violations requiring correction.
Notable violations from December 2024 involved the presence of mold, missing window guards, and a defective door, all documented in apartment 5N. The building has active DOB violations from June 2023 for failure to file required external low pressure inspections. Historical records show recurring heat and hot water problems, with a significant incident in October 2024 involving scalding hot water in apartment 3S.
The building's systems have been subject to multiple HPD violations over the past few years, including issues with security systems and window guards. Noteworthy past incidents include three ECB violations from July 2020 regarding unauthorized construction and safety issues with the rear courtyard deck and fire escape, resulting in fines totaling $4,375. The property has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2023. The building has successfully maintained a bedbug-free status based on annual reporting since 2019, with no reported infestations in any unit.
