2375 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

The five-story, 14-unit building at 2375 Adam C. Powell Blvd, owned by Elmo Holdings LLC and constructed in 1910, is currently experiencing significant and ongoing maintenance issues.

Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water across the entire building, with emergency complaints logged through 2025 showing inadequate heating and hot water conditions that have required multiple interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building is also facing active violations related to safety and maintenance, including two recent violations from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and a previous violation from October 2021 concerning failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition. Additionally, there is an outstanding Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from 2022 regarding unauthorized restaurant extensions with metal structures, and a 2021 violation related to elevator monitoring systems.

The property has documented rodent activity throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and requiring bait application, indicating a persistent pest control challenge. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all annual reports showing zero infested units, the ongoing maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and rodent problems, suggest significant challenges impacting resident quality of life. The building's three most recent 311 service requests as of April 2025 were all related to heat/hot water issues, and multiple inspections and complaints indicate difficulty in gaining access to units for necessary inspections and repairs.
