The 45 East 135th Street building in East Harlem, owned by Riverton Square LLC, is a 13-story, 206-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1946. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple HPD complaints and violations during 2025.

The building has also received multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints in mid-2025 regarding doors, plumbing, and unsanitary conditions. The Department of Buildings records show various historical issues, including elevator problems, boiler maintenance concerns, and structural stability questions.
Of particular note are the active ECB violations from 2024 regarding water intrusion in the first-floor entry vestibule and failure to submit required exterior wall examination reports. The building has experienced recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat presence and bait applications between 2023 and 2025. While the property has no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the accumulation of various outstanding maintenance issues, inspection access problems, and pest control challenges suggests ongoing management difficulties. The building's elevator system has required multiple inspections and received violations related to various operational issues, and there are active violations related to safety device tampering and maintenance requirements.
