2509 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10039
The 22-unit, 6-story building at 2509 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Robert Cohen and constructed in 1915, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing issue with pest control, particularly evident in multiple violations and service requests regarding rodent and insect infestations between 2022 and 2024. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 showed variable rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing but earlier inspections noting rat activity.
The building has also faced significant fire safety and structural concerns. In late 2023, violations were issued to apartment 18 regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with active pest infestations and required painting work. An important structural matter has emerged in 2024 regarding the building's roof cornice, with active ECB violations for failure to maintain the exterior facade and respond to a Commissioner’s order for inspection, resulting in a $3,750 penalty.
Bedbug infestations were reported from November 2023 to October 2024 in four units, though all were reported as eradicated. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of complaints related to unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pests, along with issues related to walls, flooring, and appliances. While some violations have been closed through repairs or inspections, several remain active or were unable to be properly inspected, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
