2472 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 5-story, 8-unit building at 2472 Adam C. Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Donald Notice, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past two years. Most recently, in June 2024, a violation was issued for inadequate hot water in apartment 3B, and there were two open violations related to access to the heating system and defective self-closing doors.

Throughout 2023-2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with the most recent emergency service request being filed in June 2024. The building has also faced water-related issues, including slow and heavy leaks in 2023-2024, with ongoing violations as of 2024. Apartment 5A currently has multiple open violations from March 2024, including issues with plaster surfaces, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a water leak in the foyer ceiling. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in June 2025 passing.

Bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate no infestations or eradications. The property has experienced various maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, including electrical problems, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these have been addressed through the violation process. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and historical designation as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its ongoing maintenance needs. The current status of multiple open violations, particularly regarding heat systems and water infrastructure, suggests persistent maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety.
