80 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10024

As of July 2025, 80 Riverside Drive (a 19-story, 1927 Class B building in the Upper West Side currently owned by David Marom) has experienced recurring issues primarily related to heating and electrical systems over the past two years. The building has had multiple heat/hot water complaints in late 2023 and early 2024, with at least three violations issued regarding inadequate hot water in Apartment 45, particularly in January 2024. Power-related issues have been persistent, with two power outages reported in late 2023, accompanied by complaints about electrical outlets/switches and lighting problems. An emergency plumbing issue regarding water supply was reported in November 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows periodic issues with building systems requiring attention, including multiple violations related to access to heating systems and hot water supply throughout 2023-2024. Two notable external wall inspection violations from 2018 and 2021 remain relevant, though they were previously resolved. More recently, as of 2025, there is an active DOB violation regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. While rodent inspections have generally passed since 2016, there was one instance of "Rat Activity" reported in 2016.

The building experienced its first documented bedbug infestation in late 2024, which was reportedly eradicated, though the previous two reporting periods (2022-2023) showed no infestations. The building's violation and complaint history indicates ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly regarding heating and electrical reliability. However, many historical violations have been resolved, including various interior maintenance issues. The property has maintained regular compliance with most rodent inspections and has shown the ability to address most reported violations, though some issues appear to recur periodically. The building's management has responded to most complaints, with varying degrees of access and resolution, as documented in HPD's inspection outcomes.
