2419 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

2419 Adam C Powell Blvd is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Ben Nehmadi. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed through HPD indicating access issues for inspections, though some complaints were eventually resolved. The property has also faced challenges with ventilation systems, both in terms of functionality and maintenance requirements.

A significant rodent infestation was documented through multiple Bedbug Reports between 2021-2024, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing 4 infested units, though some were reportedly eradicated. The building has received attention from various city agencies regarding sanitation concerns, including multiple pest control inspections between 2023 and 2025. Recent building maintenance issues have included interior deficiencies in Apartment 2D, such as problems with plaster surfaces, kitchen fixtures, and flooring, which were documented and certified for correction between June and July 2024. The Department of Buildings has recorded several violations and complaints, including an Environmental Control Board violation from June 2023 related to boiler equipment safety concerns, for which a penalty was imposed but subsequently resolved.

Compliance inspections for rodent activity have produced mixed results in 2023-2025, with several initial inspections indicating rat activity. The building also experienced a ventilation-related incident in December 2024 that prompted a Department of Health response. More recently, in April 2025, there was a food establishment complaint regarding bare hands in food contact, though this was handled by the NYC Health Department. While some maintenance issues have been addressed through inspections and certifications, the frequency and variety of complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and pest management.
