Augrented Insights Report for 78 Rivington Street

78 Rivington Street is a 6-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rohit Samai. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between July 2023 and February 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, including two recent complaints in February 2025.

A significant cluster of complaints and violations from July 2023 highlighted problems with hot water supply, door/window issues, and plumbing concerns, with specific violations noted for apartments 2A and 2C regarding inadequate hot water supply. The building's maintenance history shows attention to several infrastructure issues, including facade repairs in 2021-2023, with past violations related to window conditions, garbage storage, and access to heating systems. Recent inspections have shown the building to be currently free of bedbug infestations, with consistent rodent control measures in place, though there were instances of rat activity noted between 2022 and 2023.

The building underwent facade repairs required by violations issued in 2021, and several permits were issued between 2018-2019 for various maintenance works. While most recent service requests have been promptly addressed and closed, the recurring nature of heat/hot water complaints suggests ongoing system challenges. The building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing inspections in 2022, 2023, and through March 2025, and has shown no recent bedbug activity according to official reports from 2021 to present.
