Augrented Insights Report for 2542 Adam C Powell Blvd

2542 Adam C Powell Blvd is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Keith Gordon. The building has experienced recurring heating issues throughout 2025, with seven separate heat/hot water complaints reported between January and June 2025, most recently in June 2025, though all were subsequently closed after verification of correction. A significant cluster of these complaints occurred in January 2025, when multiple tenants reported inadequate heating, resulting in HPD violations.

The building is currently facing several ongoing maintenance issues, including an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage from March 2025, and multiple open violations from January 2024 affecting apartment 5B, including problems with plumbing fixtures, doors, water leaks, and interior surfaces. The building has shown some electrical infrastructure concerns, with a power outage complaint recorded and resolved in March 2025, and it experienced a rat activity inspection result in January 2023, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug report record since 2020, with no infested units reported in the most recent filings for 2023-2024, it does show some historical issues with heating system reliability.

Two notable historical complaints were recorded: an egress-related complaint in 2021 (found to have no violation upon inspection), and a sidewalk shed complaint in 2025 (also found to have no violation). The building has had regular rodent inspections, with variable results between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. The property has maintained its bedbug-free status with consistent reporting showing zero infested units since 2020, and all recent violations related to building maintenance and safety have been addressed promptly through HPD's resolution process.
