54 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10024
54 Riverside Drive is a 17-story, 80-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1926 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has undergone significant facade work in recent years, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations recorded between 2019 and 2024 related to construction safety compliance and issues with suspended scaffolding. Most notably, in 2024, there were violations regarding missing parapet clamps, unprotected lifelines, and problems with scaffold placement, resulting in fines totaling $5,625.
The building has experienced several stop-work orders during the facade renovation period, with the most recent partially rescinded in April 2024. The property has maintained a generally good track record in terms of pest control and safety inspections. Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show minimal infestation issues, with only one reported case in 2020 and subsequent years showing zero infested units.
Rodent inspections conducted consistently from 2015 to 2024 have all resulted in passing grades. Recent health-related complaints have been limited, with only two notable incidents: a 2020 rodent-related complaint that resulted in no violations during inspection, and a 2021 complaint about standing water that could not be verified at the provided address. The building's management has demonstrated regular compliance with inspection requirements, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections and timely addressal of most violations, though some recent construction-related safety issues have required ongoing attention.
