5 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10023
5 Riverside Drive is a 20-story, 100-unit class A apartment building constructed in 1936 in New York City's Upper West Side, currently owned by Yukako Kawata. The building has experienced several significant safety and compliance issues in recent years, most notably a façade safety concern that was initiated in late 2021 under Local Law 11/98, though the disposition of this issue is not explicitly documented in the records.
The property has faced recurring challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in both 2022 and 2023 regarding late submissions of required annual reports, though more recent filings from 2024 show zero reported infestations or eradications in any dwelling units. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of violations and subsequent dismissals, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations related to "swarm conditions" and an "unsafe report" were issued, though these were dismissed in 2024. Between 2015 and 2024, 5 Riverside Drive has consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting effective pest management.
The property has maintained an active permit history, with multiple work permits issued between 2018-2019 for both plumbing and general maintenance work, indicating ongoing building upkeep and improvements. A recent fence complaint from 2023 was investigated but found to not warrant any violations at the time of inspection. While the building has experienced various compliance issues, recent records from 2024 show improved reporting compliance for both bedbugs and rodent inspections, though the outstanding façade safety concern and historical pattern of violations warrant attention.
