33 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10023

33 Riverside Drive, a 17-story New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, was constructed in 1927 and contains 143 units. The property has experienced a number of significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing façade safety concern from December 2021 that remains active, related to the building's exterior condition.

In 2024, multiple units reported issues requiring attention, including radiator problems, flooring issues, and wall maintenance needs, though these were generally addressed promptly, with HPD verifying corrections in most cases. The building has undergone several inspections with mixed results, including a 2022 building shake complaint that was investigated but found no violations. The property has maintained generally acceptable health standards, with annual rodent inspections consistently passing since 2015, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, though there was one isolated incident in 2020.

Historical records show periodic issues with various building systems, including heating, water leaks, and interior maintenance needs, particularly affecting apartment 10F in 2021-2022. The building's management has actively responded to maintenance requests, as evidenced by numerous permits issued between 2020-2021 for repair and maintenance work. Recent violation notices from April 2024 identified issues with self-closing doors at both the vestibule and building entrance, though these were subsequently addressed. The elevator system appears to have required multiple interventions between 2019 and 2021, with several violations related to maintenance and safety standards being resolved, indicating ongoing attention to essential building systems.
