Augrented Insights Report for 839 Riverside Drive

839 Riverside Drive is a 48-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by David Eshaghpour. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and water systems, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints between 2023-2024 regarding heat/hot water outages in both individual apartments and the entire building. There have been several water-related incidents, including heavy flow leaks and damp spots, with the most recent complaint filed in August 2024.

Significant violations were documented in 2024, particularly concerning Apartment 1A, where multiple issues were identified including water leaks, plaster damage, a defective carbon monoxide detector, and electrical problems. The building has also faced various sanitary issues, such as sewage problems and mold complaints in 2022. The property has a history of compliance-related concerns, with active violations related to the building's facade inspection reports from 2018-2022, including failure to file acceptable reports and penalties of $1,250 imposed in 2021.

While recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed passing results, there have been periods of rat activity noted in 2023. Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases in the past five years. The Department of Buildings records show various routine inspections and compliance checks, including facade inspections and illegal conversion investigations, though most recent complaints from 2022-2024 have been resolved without major penalties or legal actions against the owner.
