Augrented Insights Report for 294 Riverside Drive

294 Riverside Drive, located in the Upper West Side, is a 5-story, 19-unit residential building built in 1901 and currently owned by Gabriel Bensimhon. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple open complaints as of mid-2025 including water leaks (heavy flow), problems with electric/gas ranges, and ceiling issues. Between June 4 and June 7, 2025, there were several incidents involving paint/plaster problems, water leaks, and mold, though inspections were often unsuccessful due to access issues.

The building shows persistent elevator concerns, with five "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" complaints recorded between 2020 and 2023, and multiple violations related to self-closing doors in various apartments and common areas were documented in late 2023. The elevator maintenance history includes several ECB violations between 2020-2023, with issues such as inoperative phone, defective pit door lock, and worn components leading to penalties. The building's maintenance record indicates recurring problems with basic infrastructure and safety systems, though some issues have been resolved in a timely manner.

Recent inspections show compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past three filing periods. Rodent inspections from 2019 to 2024 show a pattern of rat activity in 2019-2020, though recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 passed. The property has multiple active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2022, and a variety of maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with systems like elevators, doors, and plumbing, which appear to require regular oversight to maintain acceptable living conditions.
