452 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10027

452 Riverside Drive is a 9-story, 54-unit residential building located in Morningside Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by David Greenberg. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water outage in October 2024 that prompted multiple emergency complaints to HPD. The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns about compliance with various regulations, including unaddressed Local Law 11/98 facade safety requirements as of February 2025 and multiple violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2024.

While the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025, it has accumulated several Department of Buildings violations, including failures to submit required Cycle 8B and Cycle 88 inspection reports for exterior walls. The property has undergone various work periods requiring permits, with several electrical-related violations documented in 2021 regarding unauthorized work in Apartment 46. More recently, in 2025, there was a complaint regarding general failure to maintain building conditions.

The building's emergency heating system failure in late 2024, which temporarily disrupted service, represents a concerning trend in maintenance responsiveness. However, it's worth noting that the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no documented infestations from 2019 to present. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, it has also maintained active compliance with various inspection requirements, most notably passing all rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025.
