Questions about this building

Does 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan had 42 open violations on October 10, 2026: 42 from HPD. 4 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 34 years, since May 11, 1992.

Is 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 4 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

Does 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued May 1, 1990. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan been in housing court?

Yes. 7 housing court cases here since 2011, most of them tenant actions. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

What did the latest facade report find at 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan?

Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed December 14, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). An earlier report in this cycle, filed June 29, 2021, rated it Unsafe. Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Unsafe in 2007, and SWARMP in 2009, 2012 and 2017. SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan?

Yes. 7 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for General Construction work, was issued September 11, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

Does 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, issued December 15, 2020. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan?

ENERGY STAR score 99 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When was the boiler at 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan last inspected?

On February 11, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On January 5, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2026 as a rent-regulated building (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1911 as the year 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 12 floors.

How many apartments does 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 202 residential units at 790 Riverside Drive, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
