2320 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

This 5-story, 9-unit old law tenement building located at 2320 Adam C. Powell Blvd in Harlem was built in 1910 and is currently owned by Rony Sheen. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding heat and hot water systems. Between 2021 and 2024, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, including emergency situations in February and December 2022. The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections and treatment efforts throughout 2024 and 2025, including bait applications and compliance failures.

Significant building maintenance events include: - Multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2022 and 2024, some marked as requiring urgent attention. - Pest control issues, with two separate pest-related services requested in 2022, and a documented bedbug infestation in apartment 2W that was resolved by May 2022. - Several building code violations were recorded in 2022, particularly affecting apartment 2W, including issues with plastered surfaces, bathroom fixtures, radiator, and door mechanisms, all of which were subsequently addressed. - The building's cellar area has faced scrutiny for unauthorized conversions, with inspections in 2021 suggesting the presence of unauthorized bathroom and bedroom modifications. - Currently, there are active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2023.

The property has documented efforts to manage rodent infestations, as shown by multiple rodent inspections and bait applications between 2023 and 2024. Recent inspections in early 2025, however, indicated continued concerns with rat activity. While some maintenance issues have been addressed promptly, such as those reported in February 2022 regarding heat and hot water, the persistence of heat system problems and ongoing rodent issues suggest ongoing building management challenges. The most recent bedbug report (2025) indicates no current infestation, suggesting successful eradication of previous infestations. This summary reflects building conditions and management responses based on available data through October 2023, with some recent compliance inspections and reports extending into early 2025.
