65 Thompson Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

65 Thompson Street is a 6-story, 5-unit mixed-use building located in SoHo, owned by Matthew Gelfand and constructed in 1999. The building has experienced several significant regulatory events over the past decade, with the most recent concerns primarily revolving around bedbug reporting compliance.

Between 2021 and 2024, the property received four consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in 2025 indicates no current infestations or eradication efforts. The building has also faced some Department of Buildings (DOB) issues, including an active elevator-related violation from 2020 with a $3,125 penalty regarding access to the motor room, and a 2018 complaint about illegal hotel rooms that resulted in Oath Violation Served.

Another notable incident was a violation related to the use of a permanent dwelling for non-residential purposes, which was resolved with a penalty of $2,500. Despite these issues, the building has maintained good pest control standards, achieving passing results in all rodent inspections conducted annually from 2016 through 2025. The property appears to be currently free of any major code violations, with timely compliance on bedbug reporting as of 2025, though the historical pattern of violations suggests this has been an ongoing administrative challenge for the management.
