2304 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

2304 Adam C Powell Blvd is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Boruch Hersh. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed in June 2025 regarding paint/plaster, flooring, electric outlets, plumbing, and pest control, totaling eight complaints. Notably, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to complete inspections for these complaints.

The building has a documented history of pest issues, with a significant violation issued in November 2024 regarding mouse and roach infestations in apartment 5A, though these were certified as corrected by December 2024. Other violations from late 2024 included problems with electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures, and various interior finishes in apartment 5A, all of which have been marked as closed after repairs. The building's infrastructure maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, with recurring issues documented through both HPD complaints and Department of Buildings violations.

Two active violations as of June 2023 relate to unfiled low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 and 2019. Earlier maintenance issues included a water leak from boiler doors in 2020, which resulted in a penalty, though an inspection later found no violations. While the building has maintained a pest control regimen, recent rodent inspections in 2024 showed inconsistent results, with multiple instances of rat activity documented between March 2023 and January 2025, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed. The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in annual reports since 2021, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue.
