140 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10024
140 Riverside Drive is a 19-story, 249-unit residential building constructed in 1939, currently managed by owner Neil Davidowitz. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in late 2023/early 2024 involving multiple non-access inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding plumbing (radiator), paint/plaster (walls), appliances (refrigerator), and general maintenance (cabinet) issues. While one inspection in this period did result in an investigation of unsanitary mold conditions, no violations were issued.
The building's history shows recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in unit 11J, which has been the subject of multiple violations including water leaks, wall repair issues, and door maintenance requirements. There was a significant construction period between 2020-2023 that generated numerous Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, particularly regarding construction safety compliance, with several stop-work orders and violations related to scaffolding, pedestrian protection, and sprinkler system installation. The property has undergone various infrastructure assessments, including elevator inspections and facade maintenance work, with both routine and emergency repairs documented through permit issuances. Recent bedbug reports indicate one infestation in 2024, though previous years showed no reports of infestations.
The building has experienced persistent rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections between 2022-2025 showing varying degrees of rat activity, though the most recent inspection in January 2025 passed. Compliance with fire safety requirements appears to be maintained, with records indicating proper documentation of sprinkler systems and other safety measures, despite initial violation notices. While many historical violations have been resolved, there are still some active notices requiring attention, including a 2023 violation for failure to correct SWARMP conditions, though this was later dismissed. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of both routine and emergency repairs, with specific attention to plumbing systems, interior maintenance, and building envelope issues.
