Is 2453 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 1 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 26, 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 2453 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 11 Class C violations, all 11 by 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 2453 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 3 active DOB violations. The newest was issued September 25, 2020. 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 2453 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened July 31, 2026. 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 2453 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?
Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed September 22, 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.
What did the latest facade report find at 2453 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?
Rated Unsafe in the latest facade report, filed August 3, 2026 (inspection cycle 9). 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 2453 Adam C Powell Boulevard, Manhattan?
Yes. 7 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for General Construction work, was issued September 9, 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.
