Binghamton Man Sentenced for Multiple Burglaries at Local Apartment Complex

Broome County District Attorney F. Paul Battisti announced today that Jamie Viviano, 43, of Binghamton, has been sentenced in Broome County Court for two separate burglary incidents that occurred at a Mather Street apartment complex in 2024. The sentencing took place on June 27, 2025.

Six-Year Sentence for Second-Degree Burglary

Viviano received a sentence of 6 years in New York State prison, followed by 5 years of post-release supervision, after pleading guilty to Burglary in the Second Degree, a class C violent felony. He also received an additional 2⅓ to 7 years for a separate charge of Burglary in the Third Degree, a class D felony. The sentences will run concurrently.

Stolen Coins and a Knife Threat

The charges stem from two incidents at the same apartment building located at 1 Mather Street. On August 5, 2024, Viviano entered the property illegally and stole coins from a washing machine. He returned on December 13, 2024, again targeting the machine, but this time brandished a knife and threatened a staff member on site, significantly escalating the severity of the crime.
