715 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 47-unit, 6-story apartment building at 715 Riverside Drive in Hamilton Heights, built in 1924, has experienced several significant infrastructure and habitability issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed, including violations related to water leaks, door/windodr issues, unsanitary conditions (mold), and problems with flooring. Earlier in 2025, the building faced heat and hot water system failures impacting the entire structure, with multiple complaints filed in February despite inspection access issues.
The building's elevator system has been a point of concern, with two complaints filed in 2024 and 2025 regarding single-device service and no alternate service, though one was resolved with an Oath Violation in January 2025. The property has also faced various maintenance and compliance challenges, as documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints. These include ongoing pest management issues, with a notable infestation detection in 2019, though more recent bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no infested units.
The building's environmental compliance history shows a 2018 violation regarding exterior wall examinations, and two energy-related violations from 2021-2022 regarding benchmarking and display requirements, though these were ultimately dismissed. Recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have shown passing results, following several years of identified rat activity between 2019 and 2022. The building's maintenance history is marked by recurring issues that suggest ongoing challenges with property management and infrastructure upkeep. While some violations have been addressed and closed, including specific repairs in apartments 1B and 5B, the frequency and nature of complaints indicate persistent maintenance concerns affecting resident comfort and building systems stability.
