353 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10025

353 Riverside Drive is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Joel Posner. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most concerning being a June 2025 emergency complaint regarding unsanitary mold conditions. In early 2025, there were also significant structural concerns, with complaints about building shaking and construction work beyond approved permits, though these were either resolved or found to have no violation at the time of inspection.

The building has a documented pattern of annual bedbug-related violations between 2021 and 2023, though subsequent filings from 2023-2025 report zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting successful mitigation of this issue. The property has generally maintained good infrastructure and habitability standards, with successful rodent inspections conducted annually between 2015 and 2024, consistently passing all inspections. Historical data from the Department of Buildings shows two previous violations from 2018 and 2020 that were ultimately resolved.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2025 shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, though there was a period of non-compliance in 2021. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 passed, continuing the building's strong record in this area. While the recent mold issue and structural complaints are concerning, the building has generally maintained compliance with health and safety regulations, with the majority of past violations being promptly addressed and resolved.
