2469 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

2469 Adam C Powell Blvd is a 5-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Lisa Beaubien. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple ongoing complaints as of mid-2025. Most notably, there are two open water leak complaints from March 2025 (a slow leak and a damp spot), as well as an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions in the garbage/recycling storage area from February 2025.

The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two emergency complaints filed in January 2025, though these were closed without successful inspections due to access issues. A plumbing issue involving a bathtub/shower was reported and resolved in March 2025. Looking back at the building's history, a significant incident occurred in April 2022 when a boiler-related complaint was filed, resulting in a violation related to a defective/inoperative system or lack of proper permitting.

This demonstrates a pattern of maintenance challenges affecting essential services. While some issues have been addressed and closed through HPD complaints, including a plumbing problem earlier this year, many recent complaints remain open, indicating potential ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The property has experienced multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints, complicating resolution efforts.
