600 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10031

600 Riverside Drive is a 39-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently managed by West 137th 611 LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues from late 2023 through 2025, with multiple emergency complaints and violations issued by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, including three separate complaints in March 2025 alone.

The property has also faced challenges with elevator systems, particularly evident between 2020-2022 when multiple violations were issued regarding door lock monitoring systems that were eventually resolved. Inspection records show that the building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections consistently since 2017, though there were pest-related complaints in 2023-2024 that resulted in violations being issued. The building's exterior maintenance has been under scrutiny, particularly regarding sidewalk shed safety and permit compliance, with several active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2023-2024 citing issues with parapet panels, expired permits, and safety concerns, totaling over $10,000 in penalties.

The property has also faced regulatory challenges related to building inspections and reporting requirements, including missed deadlines for energy benchmarking reports and failure to submit required Cycle 8A & 9A reports of critical examination, though many of these violations have been dismissed after correction. Recent records indicate no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past five years, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place. However, the ongoing heating system issues represent the most significant recurring concern affecting tenant comfort and building systems maintenance.
