153 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The three-story, two-family house at 153 Rivington Street, owned by Isabel Cabrera, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD. Between November 2024 and January 2025, there were at least 10 documented complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, including one instance in January 2024 where HPD confirmed violations of the Housing Maintenance Code for inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment PH2.

More recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint about building shaking/vibrating affecting structural stability, which resulted in an Oath violation being served. The building has maintained a record of proper pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistent passing results in rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025.

Historical violations include a 2022 case regarding carbon monoxide detectors and a mice infestation in Apartment 2, both of which were certified as corrected. The Department of Buildings has an active violation from June 2023 concerning an unfiled external low-pressure inspection, and there was a complaint about an illegal vent/exhaust system in November 2024, though this was determined to warrant no violation at the time of inspection. While periodic heat and hot water issues have been a significant concern, inspections and service requests indicate efforts to address these problems, though access challenges for inspectors have been noted in several complaints.
