7 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 5-story, 17-unit tenement building at 7 Rivington Street, owned by Edmond Li and dating back to 1900, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with an emphasis on pest and safety concerns. Most recently, in 2023-2024, there were multiple complaints regarding rodent issues, with the latest inspections in 2025 showing both rat activity and bait application. The building has had recurring bedbug reporting requirements, with a significant period of infestation in 2022-2023, though the most recent reports (2023-2024) indicate no infested units.
Several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting were issued between 2021-2023, though these were ultimately resolved. The building's safety systems received attention in 2017 when violations were recorded for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 12, though these were later certified as corrected in 2024. A plumbing issue in 2022 resulted in a stop work order (though this was rescinded) and some construction permits have been issued regularly from 2018 through 2023.
The property's maintenance history shows a mix of compliant and problematic inspections, particularly regarding pest control, with most recent inspections (2024-2025) still indicating some challenges with rodent management despite passing certain inspections. Regular inspections and permit activities suggest ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance efforts, though the pattern of pest-related complaints and violations indicates persistent challenges in this area. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 show some improvement, with one passing inspection and bait being applied in another case. The building's age and history suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to the building's pest management protocols and safety systems.
