2225 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

2225 5th Avenue, also known as Riverton Square, is a 13-story, 914-unit residential building constructed in 1947 and currently owned by Margaret Brunn. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple open violations and service requests as of mid-2025. Currently, there are two open HPD complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and a door issue.

The building has active ECB violations for failure to submit required Cycle 9B external wall inspection reports, and multiple violations related to boiler room conditions, including corroded elements and missing safety features. Recent months have seen persistent issues with rat activity, with multiple inspections documenting the presence of rodents between 2024-2025, despite bait application efforts. The building has had numerous maintenance complaints in 2025 alone, including heat/hot water issues, door problems, and water-related concerns.

There are also multiple housing maintenance code violations from late 2024, particularly involving apartments 1G, 4A, 10C, and 12G, citing issues with radiators, security devices, and pest infestations. While the building has an ongoing issue with pest control, particularly rodents, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years according to the official filings. The elevator system has generated multiple complaints about devices and service, though inspections have generally found no violations warranting penalties. The building's history includes several instances of violated inspection requirements, though many past violations related to external low-pressure inspections and boiler inspections have been dismissed or resolved.
