258 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10025
258 Riverside Drive is a 12-story, 52-unit New Law tenement built in 1909, currently managed by 258 Riverside Owners Corp. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with active violations still existing as of 2025. Most notably, there are three active violations from April 2021 related to unsafe conditions and swarming insects, as well as structural concerns identified through emergency work notifications regarding severely eroded steel sections and displaced terracotta segments between floors 1-5.
The building underwent construction-related work in 2024 that generated dust affecting indoor air quality, though this issue was formally addressed by the Department of Health. The property has a concerning history of construction-related violations, specifically in 2019, when fines were imposed for failing to distribute required tenant protection plans and construction safety information, though these were subsequently resolved. Other documented issues include multiple elevator violations between 2018-2021 (now resolved), and a complaint regarding unauthorized activities in 2019 that resulted in a stop work order.
While the building has maintained a perfect record in terms of bedbug infestations (with all annual reports showing zero cases from 2019-2024), it has experienced ongoing elevator maintenance challenges that required multiple permits and inspections to address. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices in that regard. Recent construction work has required multiple permit issuances, with the most recent related to plumbing and other emergency work in 2022, indicating active ongoing maintenance and repair needs for this century-old building.
