2570 Adam C Powell Blvd, Manhattan, NY 10039

The 5-story, 9-unit building at 2570 Adam C Powell Blvd in Harlem, owned by Maurice Mckenzie, has had several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in June 2025, there were multiple violations issued related to flooring and wall conditions, including electrical lighting problems, plumbing issues with sinks and radiators, and paint/plaster concerns affecting both walls and ceilings.

These violations were documented and inspected by HPD, with some requiring court intervention if not resolved by the specified deadlines. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly evident in late 2024 when Apartment 4B was found to have multiple violations including peeling paint, water leaks, mold, and ceiling issues, while Apartment 1A had several defects including kitchen cabinet problems and mold. On a more positive note, the building has maintained an active rodent control program, with all inspections from 2018 through June 2025 passing without any concerns.

Additionally, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, with the most recent reports (up to 2024) showing zero affected units. While there have been occasional heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, these were promptly addressed and closed. The building's emergency repair calls for plumbing issues, lighting, and other concerns indicate ongoing maintenance needs, with some violations remaining open as of July 2025, particularly regarding door problems reported in April 2025.
