Augrented Insights Report for 137 Rivington Street

The five-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building at 137 Rivington Street, owned by Eric Setton, has experienced ongoing pest management challenges in recent years, particularly with rodent activity. Between 2024 and 2025, there were several documented rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with the most recent incidents recorded in May 2025. The building has persistent Code violations related to rodent infestation, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing rat activity as recent as July 2025.

The property has also faced various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (specifically sink basin issues in February 2024), heating system complaints (both building-wide and apartment-specific in February 2024), and stairway flooring concerns. Notably, there are active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024 for Apartment 10, including issues with self-closing doors and window repairs, and violations in Apartment 2 related to doors and bathroom ceiling repairs. The building's history includes several Department of Buildings complaints from 2020 to 2025, with a significant matter in 2022 involving unauthorized occupancy of the cellar level as an unlicensed physical culture establishment, which resulted in multiple ECB violations.

There are also two active DOB violations from 2024 related to external low-pressure inspection filing and a stop work order from 2021. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with infrastructure systems such as heating and plumbing, though recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show no current infestations, following a single incident in 2022. Regular rodent control measures and inspections continue to be implemented, indicating an ongoing effort to address these persistent challenges.
