AI summary · updated June 2026

74 Morningside Drive is a 20-story, 157-unit residential building located in Morningside Heights and owned by David Greenberg. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Noteworthy is a recent cluster of heating complaints in late 2024, including a verified issue in December 2024 that required HPD intervention. The building has also been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations from 2023 and 2024 indicating failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

The property has undergone various construction activities, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for exterior work. In 2019, several significant construction safety violations were recorded, primarily related to scaffold safety and construction material storage, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's safety record shows regular rodent inspections (most recently passed in 2025) and no recorded infestations in the 2020-2021 bedbug reporting period. A recent Department of Buildings inspection in June 2025 found no violations warranting any immediate concerns. While the building has a history of heat-related issues and some procedural compliance matters, it maintains a generally acceptable safety record with regular passing inspections for various health and safety criteria.
