2473 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

The five-story, 13-unit tenement building at 2473 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, currently owned by Karim Hutson, has experienced ongoing heat and maintenance issues throughout early 2025, with a particularly notable cluster of complaints in January-February 2025. The building has documented 11 heat/hot water-related service requests in 2025 alone, with multiple instances of entire building outages and problems in individual apartments, though some complaints were closed due to confirmed repairs.

There are also concerning pest issues, with multiple rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in January 2025, including one open unsanitary condition complaint related to pests as of January 22, 2025. The building's heating system appears to be a recurring problem, with two separate boiler-related complaints filed in 2022 and 2025.

While the most recent February 2025 boiler inspection resulted in "No Violation Warranted," an April 2022 inspection did result in an Oath Violation being served. The pattern of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding heating infrastructure and pest control, though many of the more recent complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs. While some violations have been corrected during inspections, the frequency and nature of complaints indicate persistent building system and maintenance issues that affect resident comfort and quality of life.
