17 Rivington Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
17 Rivington Street is a 6-story, 20-unit old law tenement building built in 1900, currently owned by Jose Perez. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water complaint in February 2025 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. Notable ongoing concerns include construction lead dust in common areas as of September 2024, and multiple inspections in 2025 showing mixed results for rodent control, with failures noted in February and June 2025, though a compliance inspection in July 2025 passed.
The building underwent significant housing maintenance code violations in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 2C, which required remediation for issues including roach infestation, heating system problems, and the need for safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has a history of various maintenance complaints and violations between 2023 and 2025, including plumbing issues, electrical problems, and concerns about unauthorized work. Department of Buildings records show multiple complaints about work without permits during 2023-2024, and two September 2023 environmental control board violations related to occupancy and construction work were recorded against "ASIA BANK N A ALTO PROPER," though no penalties were imposed.
The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with regular reporting showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2024. Recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 have shown both compliance and failure regarding rodent control, indicating ongoing challenges in maintaining pest control standards. A 2023-2024 complaint about the building's exterior condition noted issues with the drainage system and masonry facade, resulting in an active violation status as of March 2023.
