1825 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10034
The 42-unit, 6-story residential building at 1825 Riverside Drive in Inwood, owned by Jeffrey Toplitsky and constructed in 1926, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems and sanitation. Most notably, there have been two heat and hot water emergencies in 2024 and 2025, with occupants reporting restoration of services during HPD inspections. The building has faced significant water-related challenges, including multiple reports of mold (July 2024), water leaks and damp spots (July 2024), and unsanitary conditions involving pests (December 2024).
An inspection in September 2024 revealed several open violations, including issues with fire escape maintenance and defective fire door hinges. The property has a documented history of rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications recorded between February and March 2024, though recent inspections have shown some improvement, with the most recent November 2024 inspection passing. Facade maintenance concerns were raised in 2021-2022, with the building cited for failing to comply with facade inspection requirements (Cycle 9A) and for unsafe facade conditions that incurred a $1,250 fine.
Recent Building Department inspections (2024) have identified various open violations requiring attention, including roof leakage affecting the 6th story public hall, fire safety concerns in storage areas, and evidence of a cockroach infestation in the basement. The building appears to be maintaining an active approach to pest control, as evidenced by multiple inspections and treatment applications, and has shown consistent bedbug reporting compliance with no reported infestations since 2019, though recent report periods in 2023-2025 submitted "0" infested unit counts through this program. While the building meets many basic compliance requirements, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems and water-related problems, suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining optimal living conditions. The property has active open violations as of late 2024 that require follow-up and resolution.
