2 River Terrace, Manhattan, NY 10282

2 River Terrace is a 243-unit, 31-story residential building located in Battery Park City, completed in 2006 and currently owned by Russell Heigel. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water complaint in July 2024 that resulted in the Housing Preservation and Development Department being unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced multiple violations and compliance issues related to Local Law 188/17 inspections, with an active complaint as of September 2024 showing inspector unable to gain access.

Between 2018 and 2024, there have been recurring reports of rodent and insect issues in food establishments, though most were closed with resolution noted. The building’s maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, including multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits in 2018, 2022, and 2023, though these violations were either resolved or dismissed. Notably, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual reporting since 2019, suggesting effective pest management practices.

There are also multiple active violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2021, though some of these have been dismissed upon review. The building continues to receive routine maintenance and inspection-related permits, indicating ongoing efforts to address building systems and compliance requirements. While the property has maintained a relatively stable occupancy since opening, the recent pattern of access-related inspection failures and active violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance oversight and compliance.
