Augrented Insights Report for 640 Riverside Drive

640 Riverside Drive is a 12-story, 134-unit residential building in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Margy Brown. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint regarding construction lead dust in common areas as of June 2025. Between 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple water-related complaints, including instances of heavy flow and damp spots, though most were closed without violations being issued.

The building has undergone several inspections revealing various violations, including a March 2024 inspection of Apartment 11E finding defective window guards and peeling paint that required attention. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report (2023-2024) showing two affected units, though all affected units were reported as eradicated. There have also been ongoing issues with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and inspections throughout 2024. Significant recent construction work appears to have been associated with multiple complaints and violations during 2022-2023, including several safety violations related to scaffold and construction site maintenance.

The building has several active Department of Buildings violations related to facade maintenance, with 2024 inspections noting issues with spalling terra cotta, cracked bricks, and other façade concerns on various elevations. The property has also faced challenges with garbage/recycling storage, as indicated by multiple service requests between 2023 and 2025. Despite these issues, the building has passed several recent rodent inspections (2023-2025) and has maintained an active schedule of permit issuances for ongoing work. The building's recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water management, window safety, and façade preservation, though many complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrective actions.
