AI summary · updated June 2026

780 Riverside Drive is a 10-story, 71-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Eugene Mendlowits. The building has experienced ongoing heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in 2024 and 2025, including at least four recent emergencies in February 2025 affecting the entire building and individual apartments. Additional issues recorded in 2024 included problems with paint/plaster on ceilings and water leaks, though no violations were issued in these cases. The building had some serious construction-related violations in early 2023, including multiple tenant safety and unlicensed work violations, with fines totaling $11,000 related to inadequate tenant protection plans and unsafe electrical equipment.

The Department of Buildings has active violations from 2019 regarding elevator defects that remain unresolved as of 2025. The building has shown a pattern of bedbug infestations, with one reported case in 2021 and two in 2019, though recent filings (2023-2024) indicate no new infestations. Rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity detected in 2017 and 2023, though most recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The building's management has been cited for multiple regulatory failures, including not properly installing skylight safety screens in 2024 and not filing required annual bedbug reports. Despite these issues, the building has maintained some compliance with housing maintenance codes, as evidenced by recent successful rodent inspections and the resolution of numerous violations through proper certification and correction of defects.
