456 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10027

456 Riverside Drive is a 13-story, 45-unit New Law Tenement building located in Morningside Heights, owned by the Trustees of Columbia University and constructed in 1911. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues and violations in recent years, most notably regarding exterior maintenance requirements. There are currently two active violations relating to failure to submit required Cycle 8B reports of critical examination for exterior walls, with associated penalties.

The building has a pattern of non-compliance with various inspection requirements, including missed filings for Low Pressure Inspections and Boiler inspections in 2019, and Benchmarking Reports of Energy Use. Multiple Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections were conducted in 2024, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. While the building appears to have maintained a good track record regarding pest control in recent years, with zero reported bedbug infestations in the past three annual reports (2022-2024), there have been some outside building complaints, including a recent April 2024 issue regarding the porch/balcony that was inspected but resulted in no violations.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2016, indicating effective pest management. The building's maintenance record shows regular permit issuance for various work between 2019 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. The age of the building and its history as a New Law Tenement are reflected in the various compliance requirements that have emerged over the years, particularly regarding exterior maintenance and safety inspections.
