100 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The six-story tenement building at 100 Rivington Street, built in 1900 and containing 20 units, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, beginning in January 2025, the building suffered from multiple heat and hot water complaints across different units, with several of these complaints being marked as emergencies. The building has documented violations related to heating systems, including excessively hot water temperatures in apartments 2 and 18, as well as inadequate heat supply.

The property has also faced challenges with pest control, evidenced by multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in late 2024, though inspectors reported difficulties gaining access to conduct evaluations. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing concerns with tenant safety systems, particularly in apartment 18, where violations were found regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and heat supply. Additionally, between March and May 2023, the property experienced several Environmental Control Board violations related to construction work, including issues with firestopping, tenant protection plan distribution, and inadequate construction documents.

While most of these violations have been resolved, one from May 2024 remains active regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with some showing evidence of rat activity in 2021 and 2023, though recent inspections have passed. The property owner, Eran Varnai, has submitted multiple permit applications over the past several years, with several being issued in 2019, including work related to electrical and plumbing systems.
