210 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10025

210 Riverside Drive is a 12-story, 89-unit tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Ejllo Berishaj. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in early 2025 involving multiple reports of electric/gas range problems. Throughout 2023-2025, there have been significant concerns regarding plumbing systems, including multiple illegal gas plumbing and electrical wiring complaints, though inspections often resulted in access being denied or no violations being found. The building has documented issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable in late 2023 when HPD could not gain access to inspect the complaints.

Historical records show persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in 2019-2024, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remaining open as of 2025. These include ongoing issues with window repairs and infestations. The building has undergone various permits and renovation work, with several jobs related to electrical and plumbing systems being properly permitted between 2019-2020. Environmental health concerns were also present, with inspections for rodent activity showing passing results in recent years, though there was documented rat activity recorded in September 2022.

The property appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in the past several years, and has generally passed rodent inspections since late 2022, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to the pattern of inspection access denial and the recurrence of certain types of complaints, particularly regarding electrical and plumbing systems. While many recent complaints have been resolved or closed, the presence of open violations and historical maintenance patterns suggests ongoing attention to building systems is required. The property has typically responded to violations with repairs and permit applications, though there are several historical violations related to unauthorized work and failures to file corrections that were resolved through penalties.
