131 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
At 131 Rivington Street, a 6-story New Law tenement in the Lower East Side built in 1920 and owned by Julio Hernandez, the building has recently experienced several concerning maintenance issues. Most notably, there is an active food poisoning complaint from December 2024, and multiple water leak incidents were reported in August 2023, with one resulting in housing maintenance code violations issued to Apartment 13 for water damage to ceilings and walls.
The building has also faced electrical issues, including problems with outlets and lighting in 2023. While rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 generally passed, a July 2023 inspection failed for "Other Reasons." The property has multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2024, including issues with the sidewalk shed not conforming to approved drawings and concerns about the building's exterior walls, particularly cracked stucco around the chimney and other areas. Recent tenant safety inspections in 2025 found no violations.
The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no infestations reported in the last four cycles. Periodic maintenance issues have been documented, including a 2020 violation regarding air conditioner units obstructing fire escape egress and various maintenance code violations related to paint, plaster, and electrical systems. However, many recent complaints have been addressed and closed, indicating some level of responsive maintenance, though the persistence of structural and safety issues remains concerning.
