295 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10025

295 Riverside Drive is a 12-story, 57-unit New Law Tenement located in New York City's Upper West Side, built in 1911 and currently owned by Donald Wilson. The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably an ongoing rodent control issue, with the most recent rat sighting reported in June 2023 and multiple rodent inspections showing varying results between 2023-2024, including periods requiring bait application. The property has also encountered issues with its exterior maintenance requirements, receiving multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to the failure to submit required Critical Examination Reports (Cycle 9A) for the exterior walls, resulting in penalties totaling $6,250.

More recently, active violations include failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection and unresolved swarm conditions as of November 2024. The building's recent history shows both maintenance improvements and ongoing concerns. While housing maintenance inspections in 2020 regarding electrical outlets found no violations, and 2024 rodent inspections have shown passing results, the property continues to face challenges with timely reporting and documentation.

The building had a notable period of unsafe sidewalk conditions in 2022, which resulted in an ECB violation with a $5,000 penalty related to an improperly extended sidewalk shed. Bedbug reports for the past five years show no infestations, with all units reported as either clear or with no re-infestations. The property has maintained compliance with various construction permits, with multiple exterior work permits issued between 2019-2021.
