834 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10032
834 Riverside Drive, a 6-story New Law tenement building built in 1921 and currently owned by Alessandro Cimini, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced persistent pest issues, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and pest problems, though many of these complaints could not be inspected due to access issues. The building's elevator system has been a source of ongoing concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service, including an active complaint from June 2025 and an inspection in January 2025 that found no violations.
There are also several open violations from 2022 regarding fire escape ladder operation and missing smoke detectors in apartment 6A. The building's maintenance record shows regular maintenance inspections and some repairs have been made, including work on windows and doors in apartment 6A. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations related to its facade and safety systems. Most recently, in 2024, there was a violation regarding an unsafe sidewalk shed condition.
Past issues included problems with the facade noted by the Department of Buildings in 2023. The building's elevator system has been a recurring focus of attention, with multiple violations and complaints about its operation and safety features between 2018 and 2024. Bedbug reporting records show no confirmed infestations in recent years, and the building has generally passed rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025, though there were some instances of rat activity noted in compliance inspections. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the regular filing of bedbug reports (showing no infestations) and the addressing of various maintenance issues, though many HPD complaints remain closed without inspection due to access problems.
