159 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

159 Rivington Street is a four-story, four-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by George Mueller. The building has experienced some regulatory compliance issues in recent years, with active violations for failure to file mandatory inspection reports for both external low pressure systems (since September 2024) and a 2017 boiler inspection (since November 2019).

The building has undergone multiple Department of Buildings inspections responding to complaints about unpermitted work or lack of proper permits, particularly in 2023 and most recently in December 2024, though in both cases no violations were substantiated. The property has maintained an active rodent inspection record over the past several years, with regular inspections consistently passing from 2022 through 2025, with the exception of 2022 when rat activity was noted and another failure for unspecified reasons in April 2022.

The building's maintenance of passing rodent inspections in recent years may indicate improved conditions, though the presence of active violations related to inspection report filings suggests some ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. This four-unit building's documented history shows attention to rodent control in particular, though it would appear to benefit from improved compliance with scheduled safety inspections as required by city regulations.
