2515 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10039
The six-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building at 2515 Adam C Powell Blvd, built in 1910 and currently owned by Rafael Bautista, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, particularly concerning heating systems, safety features, and facade maintenance. Of significant concern are two recent heat/hot water complaints from February 2025 and March 2025 (both closed without access inspections), and a currently pending construction lead dust complaint from April 2025.
The building has a documented history of heat/hot water issues, with seven related service requests between 2022 and 2025, and multiple safety violations including a broken window guard (April 2025), fire escape issues, and smoke detector concerns (all closed with reported corrections). The facade has been a persistent focus of attention, with multiple violations and complaints regarding exterior conditions, including cracked terra-cotta and masonry issues documented in 2023-2024.
Recent Department of Buildings (DOB) activity includes multiple illegal conversion complaints (though inspectors were unable to gain access) and an active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from June 2024 regarding expired test tags and maintenance logs. The building's management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infested units since 2020, and rodent inspections have generally shown passing results, with only one instance of rat activity noted in January 2023. While many violations have been documented as resolved or dismissed, the building continues to present challenges regarding basic services and safety features, as evidenced by recent 311 complaints and DOB violations.
