790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10032
790 Riverside Drive is a 13-story, 202-unit residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Christina Forbes. The building has experienced a series of maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating systems, plumbing, and general maintenance. In 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint involving the entire building, and more recently, a rat sighting that prompted a Department of Health inspection, though no violations were found.
A significant cluster of violation-worthy conditions was reported in June 2024, including issues with flooring/stairs, plumbing fixtures (basin/sink and toilet), and wall paint/plaster, some of which were classified as "B" violations. The building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent being performed in April 2024. The facade and exterior maintenance has been a recurring theme, with active violations noted as of 2021 regarding unsafe conditions and a failure to correct swarm conditions.
The building's elevator system has also experienced issues, with multiple violations recorded in 2020 related to emergency brake monitoring and door functionality. While the building has maintained an active rodent control program, with inspections generally passing, there was a failure noted in December 2023, though the most recent inspection in May 2025 passed. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports showing minimal activity, with most recent filings between 2022-2024 indicating no infested units. Recent permit activity includes a plumbing permit issued in April 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
