92 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

92 Rivington Street, a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement built in 1900 in the Lower East Side, is currently experiencing persistent water issues, with two open complaints filed in January 2025 regarding slow leaks and damp spots in the building. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, most notably a significant cluster of violations discovered in June 2023 related to sanitation and safety concerns in the first-story public hall.

These violations include inadequate garbage disposal facilities, maintenance issues, and missing required safety notices, some of which remain open as of the latest inspection records. The building has also undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, with a notable instance of rat activity recorded in March 2025, though it generally passes subsequent inspections. Earlier records from 2018 show plumbing-related issues that led to a stop work order and permit complications due to the suspension of a master plumber's license.

However, recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations during the specified periods. The property has maintained an active schedule of inspection and compliance checks, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 showing passing compliance, though with a previous rat activity report just two months prior. While the building has received various permits for work between 2018 and 2019, the persistence of recent water-related issues and the significant number of open violations as of mid-2023 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
