Augrented Insights Report for 853 Riverside Drive

At 853 Riverside Drive, a 54-unit New Law tenement built in 1920 and currently owned by Gold River Capital LLC, there are several significant ongoing maintenance issues as of May 2025. The building has multiple open complaints with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) filed in May and April 2025 regarding malfunctioning appliances (electric ranges and refrigerators) and wall conditions requiring attention. There is an active ECB violation regarding the failure to submit the required Cycle 9A report of critical examination for exterior walls, with a $1,250 penalty still due as of 2022.

The building has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues, with emergency complaints filed in 2024 and 2025, though some were resolved promptly. Historical data shows multiple violations related to lead paint hazard control requirements in several apartments (4D, 4C, 5E, 5B, 1G, and 5H) from 2021 that remain open, along with past facade and structural concerns documented in 2018, including issues with decorative elements and window conditions. The building's recent history shows improved rodent control compliance, with passed inspections in 2023 and 2024, following some prior concerns.

While there have been multiple tenant service requests and inspections regarding various systems (including heating, plumbing, and electrical), many complaints from previous years have been resolved or dismissed. The property has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports showing no confirmed infestations since 2021, indicating effective pest management. Recent permit activity (2018-2020) suggests ongoing maintenance and improvement work, though the nature of specific improvements isn't detailed in the data. Notably, the building underwent several tenant safety inspections between 2020-2022 that resulted in no significant violations being documented during those evaluations.
