52 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10024
52 Riverside Drive is a 16-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Eileen Schwab and constructed in 1926. The building has experienced recurring issues with mold, with two open complaints in October 2023, one of which was previously addressed but has re-emerged. A significant inspection in June 2023 revealed multiple open violations requiring various safety postings in common areas, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, emergency procedures, and smoke detector information.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases from 2018 through the present, and passed all rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024. The property has a history of facade-related issues, with violations documented in 2019 regarding spalling bricks and chimney problems. Subsequent Environmental Control Board violations in 2020 and 2021 indicated failure to comply with correction orders, resulting in monetary penalties.
The building has undergone regular maintenance work as evidenced by numerous permits issued between 2018 and 2022, primarily for work requiring elevator and plumbing permits. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including ventilation system problems in 2022, it has generally responded to most violations, as indicated by the resolution status of many complaints. However, the presence of recent mold complaints and multiple open violations regarding safety postings suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
