2258 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 5-story, 9-unit old law tenement at 2258 Adam C Powell Blvd, built in 1910 and currently owned by Adi Selimovic, has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. The building has faced significant pest control challenges, with multiple reports of rodent activity and unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage. Most recently in May 2025, there were two complaints about pests that received inspection responses, one of which could not be inspected due to access issues.

Previous pest issues were documented throughout 2024-2025, with the Department of Health confirming rodent conditions in April 2025 and multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints regarding unsanitary conditions. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification. Multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in 2024, particularly affecting apartments 1A, 2B, 4A, and 4B, primarily related to the installation of internet-capable temperature reporting devices and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Of particular concern is an active Department of Buildings violation from 2024-2025 regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections, dating back to 2018. While the building has maintained bedbug-free status since 2021, the ongoing rat activity is noteworthy, with multiple inspections throughout 2024-2025 confirming the presence of rats, though baiting efforts have been conducted. The property has exhibited a pattern of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple failed attempts to inspect for heat and hot water problems, suggesting potential challenges in addressing maintenance concerns promptly.
