40 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
40 Rivington Street is a 6-story, 22-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jake Frank. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with nine emergency complaints filed between November 2023 and March 2025, though many of these were resolved after HPD inspections confirmed restoration of services.
The most recent complaints in March 2025 indicate HPD's inability to gain apartment access for verification purposes. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with all six annual reports from 2021-2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property underwent several notable repairs and inspections in 2023-2024, including the identification of multiple fire escape and door issues in July 2023, requiring repairs to the fire escape treads on the 4th and 5th stories and various self-closing door deficiencies.
A smoke detector violation was issued in July 2023 for Apartment 10, but all violations from these inspections were marked as closed by late July 2023. The building has also undergone regular rodent inspections, with all but one (September 2021) passing since 2021, most recently in June 2025. Two complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building were investigated in 2022 but were found to warrant no violations.
