293 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10025

293 Riverside Drive is a 4-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 1897 located in the Upper West Side neighborhood, currently owned by John Rodefeld. The property has experienced a significant number of maintenance issues recently, with a cluster of complaints filed in August 2024 through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including multiple door frame problems, flooring concerns, and electrical issues, particularly regarding lighting.

An inspection conducted on September 6, 2024, revealed multiple violations in apartment 3B, including pest infestations (both mice and roaches), problems with window hardware, floor damage, missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), and electrical fixture issues. There is also an outstanding lead paint hazard violation from August 2024 in apartment 2C related to bathroom door frame conditions. Despite these recent challenges, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past several years, with the most recent filings showing zero infested units between 2019 and 2024.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted annually from 2015 through 2024, all passing without incident. The building has undergone some maintenance work in recent years, with permits issued in 2019 and 2020 for unspecified electrical and plumbing work. While the property has demonstrated good pest management practices and compliance with rodent inspections, the current cluster of violations in apartment 3B and ongoing maintenance issues throughout the building as of late 2024 warrant attention.
