290 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10025

290 Riverside Drive is a 15-story, 58-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Morris Schreiber. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues in 2025, with multiple complaints about various fixtures (toilets, sinks, bathtubs/showers, and water supply) in April and May, most notably four complaints in April 2025 where inspections could not be completed. Earlier, in early 2025, similar plumbing problems were reported in December 2024, and there were two separate heating/hot water complaints in December 2024.

The building underwent facade work in 2020-2021, during which several violations were issued to Two-Tone Contracting Corp regarding construction safety compliance and improper installation of scaffolding. The work prompted multiple inspections and citations, including a $2,500 penalty for non-conformance to approved construction documents. Earlier violations include issues with the self-closing doors in March 2024, heating problems in apartment 1C, and various maintenance needs in apartment 8B involving water leaks and plaster damage.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2018, with no reported cases in the past seven years. Recent rodent inspections were passed in 2023, 2024, and 2025, though there was one failed inspection in July 2020. The property has had multiple emergency violations related to heat/hot water and plumbing issues, with most recent violations being addressed and closed. While there have been several instances of violations requiring correction, the building has generally responded to these issues, with many being resolved through proper inspections and certifications, as evidenced by the closure of most recent violations.
