2 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10023

2 Riverside Drive, a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Ismael Bonilla, has experienced persistent heating systems challenges over the past three years, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints recorded between 2022 and 2025. The most recent cluster of heating-related complaints occurred in January 2025, involving both apartment-specific and building-wide issues, some of which were duplicates of existing complaints.

Prior heat/hot water incidents were documented in December 2024, February 2023, and January 2022, with the 2022 complaint resulting in an HPD inspection that found no violations. The building has also maintained a generally good record in other areas, with no significant rodent issues reported in recent inspections (2025, 2024, 2023, all passed), and no bedbug infestations recorded in the last two reporting periods (2023-2024), following one isolated incident in 2022 that was promptly addressed.

Two notable Housing Maintenance Code Violations were recorded in January 2022: one for a leaking water closet flush pipe connection in apartment 6B, and another requiring the posting of gas leak procedures in a common area, though both were certified as corrected by February 2022. Additionally, a smoking violation was recorded in 2019 and closed in 2024. While the heating system issues are recurring, the building has generally complied with other maintenance requirements, with regular attention to common areas and systems.
