528 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10027
528 Riverside Drive is a 6-story, 33-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by David Greenberg. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2024 from unit 3D, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector deficiencies, self-closing door issues, extensive mold problems (approximately 240 square feet), pest infestation (roaches), and damaged plaster/paint surfaces. The building's facade has been a particular focus of attention, with two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 totaling $12,500 in penalties related to exterior wall maintenance and failure to submit required reports.
While recent inspections for rodents have consistently resulted in "Passed" status from 2019 through 2025, the building has faced several broader compliance issues, including multiple failures to file required energy benchmarking reports (active violations) and a failure to file the FISP Cycle 9A technical report. Monthly safety inspections by the Department of Buildings have shown some cause for concern, with an active "Façade (LL11/98) – Unsafe Notification" filed in February 2025. Recent service requests in 2024 have shown persistent maintenance issues, though most were resolved without violations, including complaints about mold, door problems, paint/plaster issues, and plumbing concerns.
The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations since 2020, which is a positive indication of current pest management. The property received heating/hot water-related complaints in 2020, but these were also resolved without violations. While the building has maintained rigorous compliance with rodent control requirements, as evidenced by consistent passing inspection results, the concentration of recent violations and repair needs in unit 3D, along with facade-related concerns, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in this historic structure.
