127 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

127 Rivington Street is a 5-story, 17-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by Lily King and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly in 2022-2023 when multiple complaints were filed for both building-wide and apartment-specific problems.

These emergencies were generally resolved, though some required multiple complaints by different tenants. Additional maintenance concerns in 2022 included electrical lighting problems and water leaks, with several units facing various maintenance issues. In 2024, there were multiple Department of Health complaints regarding food establishment violations, including rodent/insect issues, kitchen problems, and food spoilage, all of which were closed with referrals to NYC Health Department.

The building's most recent notable issues include an active ECB violation from July 2023 concerning unauthorized electrical wiring for LED lights under an awning, with a penalty imposed. However, the building has maintained a passing record on recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, with regular filings showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property currently has several open violations from 2022 centered on Apartment 3C, including issues with a defective bathtub, smoke detector, faucets, and plaster surfaces, which may impact resident comfort and safety.
