ADAMS comprises 919 apartments across 7 buildings, operated by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). The development is part of NYCHA's portfolio of approximately 159,354 apartments across 305 publicly-tracked developments city-wide.
MetroDeeds tracks 3 HPD violations at ADAMS as of May 29, 2026: 0 Class C (immediately hazardous), 2 Class B (hazardous), and 1 Class A (non-hazardous). HPD violations are recorded by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development based on building inspections and complaint follow-ups.
ADAMS is owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the public agency responsible for NYC's federal public housing portfolio. NYCHA handles property management, maintenance, and tenant services directly at this development (no PACT/RAD private-management transfer on record).
ADAMS has approximately 0.003 HPD violations per apartment, versus the NYCHA-wide cohort average of approximately 0.05 violations per apartment (8,273 violations across 159,354 apartments). That is below the NYCHA-wide cohort average.
ADAMS residents can request maintenance work via the MyNYCHA app (see nyc.gov/site/nycha/residents/mynycha.page for app store links) or by calling NYCHA's Customer Contact Center at 718-707-7771, available 24 hours a day. For emergency conditions HPD also enforces — including heat or hot water failures during heat-season months, no water, or mold — residents can additionally file a complaint with HPD by calling 311 or visiting nyc.gov/311. Sustained non-response can be escalated through NYC Housing Court via an HP Action; see the methodology page for guidance.
