Questions about 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd
Who owns 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd?
The city's property file lists ESPLANADE GARDENS INC. as the owner of record for 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd. No deed for this lot appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds, so that name comes from the tax roll rather than from a recorded transfer.
Has 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd changed hands recently?
No deed for 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds. That means no transfer has been published for this lot in the current window, not that the building has never been sold.

Yes. 24 marshal-executed evictions at 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Jun 24, 2026. The dataset covers executed evictions only, so it undercounts housing court activity: cases that settle or end in a move-out never reach a marshal.
Is 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd appears in the years PulseCities holds. That is a gap in the registration record rather than an answer about any apartment, and the free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal is what settles it.
What is 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $35.3M for the 2026 tax year. That is the figure the city taxes rather than a sale price, and the bill depends on the tax class rate and on any exemptions on the lot.
What is the displacement risk around 2541 Adam C Powell Blvd?
10039 (Harlem) scores 52.0 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index. The score reads five ZIP-level signals: LLC acquisition rate, permit intensity, 311 complaint volume, executed evictions, and serious HPD violations. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
