800 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 8-story, 80-unit tenement building at 800 Riverside Drive in Washington Heights, owned by Wayne Benjamin, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple 311 complaints filed between December 2024 and April 2025. Of particular concern is an open HPD complaint from April 2025 regarding heating issues that remains unresolved. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including a cluster of heating system failures, with complaints recorded as recently as April 2025. These heating problems appear to have been somewhat recurrent, with multiple complaints registered in early 2025, some being duplicates of building-wide issues.
The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs over the past few years. Inspections in 2023-2024 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 1C, including water leaks in various locations (kitchen, bathroom, and foyer) and painting deficiencies, while the ground floor apartment (GRL) suffered from radiator valve issues and reported vermin problems in late 2023. The building's elevator system experienced significant issues in 2020, resulting in two ECB violations related to safety features not functioning properly, though these were subsequently resolved. Additionally, there have been some concerns regarding building safety compliance, with missed deadlines for submitting required inspection reports (FISP Cycle 9A and benchmarking report) in 2022, though these violations were ultimately dismissed.
The building's rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity reported in 2023-2024, though earlier inspections between 2015-2022 generally passed. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of resolving bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five cycles (2019-2024). Recent housing maintenance code violations have been addressed, including minor issues like the need for proper paint maintenance and radiator repairs. The property has also successfully passed several compliance inspections in recent years, though there have been some irregularities noted in the inspection reports that required attention.
