Augrented Insights Report for 79 Thompson Street

79 Thompson Street is a 6-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building located in SoHo, built in 1907 and currently owned by Gerard Devito. The building has experienced several significant incidents, most notably in 2021 when there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with violations issued in March 2021 and inspections confirming inadequate conditions in November 2021.

All housing maintenance code violations from November 2021 were subsequently closed, including issues related to smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and problems in apartments 2 and 7 regarding gas supply, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and door self-closing mechanisms. The building's maintenance history shows some structural and plumbing concerns, including two ECB violations from October 2020 related to cracked bricks/mortar and window issues, with fines totaling $1,875.

In 2022-2023, there were plumbing-related violations that resulted in stop work orders, though these were later fully rescinded. More recent inspections between 2023-2025 show improved conditions, with the building passing all rodent inspections conducted in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and maintaining a clean bedbug report record over the past several years, with no reported infestations since 2018. The building has undergone regular inspections and sweeps by the Department of Buildings, with no significant violations noted in recent years, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in July 2021 regarding rodent conditions, which was subsequently resolved.
