468 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10027

Located in Morningside Heights, 468 Riverside Drive is a 9-story, 38-unit residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Steven Hoffman. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern around heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints in October 2023 affecting the entire building. More recently, in April 2025, there was an unsanitary sewage-related complaint investigated by HPD.

The property has maintained a mostly valid bedbug-free record from 2020 onwards, with only one reported case in 2020 that was promptly resolved. Significant violations and maintenance concerns include an open Class B violation as of July 2024 regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint in the bathroom of unit 32. In 2021, multiple violations were documented in unit 74 relating to safety and maintenance issues including unsafe electrical wiring, radiator conditions, and water leaks, though most were subsequently closed. The building has also faced facade-related issues, with inspections in 2023 noting unsafe conditions at the parapet wall level and multiple broken window panels, though the Department of Buildings recorded the facade as "Unsafe" in March 2023.

While various exterior maintenance violations have been documented between 2020-2023, including issues with metal water tables and cornice conditions, many of these have been resolved or are currently listed as having no balance due. The building has consistently passed recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) and regular permit issuances suggest ongoing maintenance activity, though the frequency and nature of repairs could indicate recurring maintenance needs. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, showing zero infestation cases in recent years, and has maintained regular rodent control measures with passed inspections. The Department of Buildings records show multiple permits issued between 2018-2023 for various maintenance activities, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the summary.
