2272 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

2272 Adam C Powell Blvd is a 5-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Joseph Aizer. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with significant problems documented between 2019-2022 including water leaks, pest infestations, and building system failures. Most recent complaints in 2025 involve unsanitary conditions related to mold and garbage storage, with an open non-emergency garbage/recycling storage issue.

The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in 2023, including issues with self-closing doors in multiple apartments, a C violation regarding an improperly located AC unit, and a recurring requirement to file annual bedbug reports. The property's maintenance history shows some improvements in recent years, with rodent inspections passing consistently throughout 2022-2025, though there was one failure noted in July 2024. Notably, the building's bedbug infestation status appears to have stabilized since 2021, with no reported infestations in the last three reporting periods (2022-2025).

An illegal hotel room complaint from February 2025 was fully rescinded by July 2025. The building's systems and infrastructure have shown persistent issues requiring multiple HPD interventions, though many complaints from 2022 were resolved with confirmed corrections, indicating some responsiveness to maintenance requests. Despite these improvements, the building continues to have some ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring.
