Augrented Insights Report for 894 Riverside Drive

894 Riverside Drive, a 54-unit, 6-story New Law tenement built in 1915 and currently owned by Francisco Delacruz, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The building has ongoing violations in apartments 6D and 4D as of late 2024, including multiple open violations related to interior maintenance, window guards, bathroom tiles, kitchen plumbing, and electrical systems. The elevator system has been a recurring problem, with multiple violations and complaints between 2021 and 2024, including active ECB violations from 2024 with a penalty of $625 regarding defective phone service and other maintenance issues.

Three complaints regarding illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms in late 2024 were met with failed access by inspectors. The property has faced various quality of life issues in 2025, including open heat/hot water complaints and multiple 311 service requests regarding ceiling issues, unsanitary conditions (including garbage storage), and pest control problems. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, there have been persistent rodent activity issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025.

The elevator maintenance remains a critical concern, with multiple active violations and fines, while other building systems such as lighting and intercom systems have also been problematic. The property has received a combination of Class A and B violations in recent inspections, suggesting serious but potentially addressable maintenance issues. Despite several repair attempts, many violations remain open as of late 2024-2025, including those related to electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and structural elements.
