Questions about this building

Does 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan had 807 open violations on October 10, 2026: 779 from HPD and 28 from OATH/ECB. 197 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 51 years, since April 25, 1975.

Is 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 20 new Class C against 0 certifications filed in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, after the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 3 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on December 1, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 58 active DOB violations. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Is 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 10 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened May 19, 2026. 91 housing court cases here since 2005, most of them tenant actions. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?

Yes. 14 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed August 21, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 16 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $21,758 in total. The most recent of the 16, a general construction order, was opened August 20, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

What did the latest facade reports find at 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?

101 West 147 Street is rated SWARMP in its latest facade report, filed February 15, 2022 (inspection cycle 9). 3 other buildings on this lot are rated Safe. Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated 101 West 147 Street SWARMP in 2007, Unsafe in 2014 and 2020, and Safe in 2021. SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for General Construction work, issued April 16, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

When did 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

Its 4 buildings had all filed by December 20, 2024, for the year to October 31, 2024. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2035 as an income-restricted building (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Does 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan have a property tax exemption?

The building has a Mitchell-Lama tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1968 as the year 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 27 floors.

How many apartments does 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 1,225 residential units at 2541 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
