46 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

46 Rivington Street is a 5-story, 24-unit old law tenement building located in the Lower East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Megan Hustad. The building has experienced recurring issues with cooking gas, most recently evidenced by a June 2023 HPD violation in apartment 5B, which remains open and is classified as a "C" violation. This residence has a documented history of emergency complaints, with notable concerns in 2023 and 2022, including problems with door security and heating systems.

The building's safety systems require attention, as indicated by open violations from June 2023 regarding defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5B. There are also active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2021. The property has shown consistent attention to pest control, with recent bedbug reports for 2024-2025 showing no infestations, and rodent inspections (most recently in June 2025) consistently passing with no violations.

Previous building maintenance issues have been documented and resolved, including a 2019 heating system complaint that was inspected with no violations found. Historical violations from 2011, primarily affecting apartment 5B, have been addressed and closed, including repairs related to plumbing fixtures, windows, heating systems, and fire safety equipment. The building's elevator system was inspected in 2019-2020 with no violations found. While the building has maintained rodent-free status, the recurring issues with cooking gas and safety system maintenance in recent years warrant attention, while the absence of recent bedbug and other pest issues is notable.
