2372 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

The four-story, four-unit building at 2372 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Shaka Lumumba, has experienced several noteworthy issues over recent years. Most prominently, the building has accumulated four consecutive open violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, spanning from 2021 to 2024.

Additionally, there is currently an active violation as of April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection report. The building's residents experienced a notable incident in December 2018 involving lack of heat and hot water, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the complaints.

Access issues have been a recurring theme, as evidenced by two separate complaints in 2021 and 2019 regarding compliance inspections and plumbing issues, both of which were closed due to inability to gain access. While the building did pass a rodent inspection in August 2023, the pattern of access denial during multiple inspections and the ongoing bedbug report violations suggest potential challenges in maintaining regulatory compliance and resident communication. The building's permit history shows several permits issued in December 2018 and March 2019, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data.
