204 Spring Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

204 Spring Street is a 7-story, 26-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1901 in SoHo, currently owned by Edward Tempesta. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months (2025), with multiple HPD service requests showing violations in plumbing (toilet), flooring (floor), electrical (power outage), and unsanitary conditions. These complaints, along with a recurring heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building reported in March 2025, indicate ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The property has also documented safety violations, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 8 (February 2024) and various door-related issues in common areas (October 2024). While some violations have been addressed and closed, others remain outstanding, particularly relating to Apartment 8's safety systems. The building's historical maintenance record shows a pattern of pest management challenges, with rodent activity noted in multiple inspections between 2020 and 2025, though an initial inspection in January 2025 passed.

The property has maintained current bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in recent years. There was a significant electrical equipment violation in 2018 involving defective wiring in the ground floor storefront that resulted in a $1,630 penalty, and multiple DOB complaints between 2018-2019 that were ultimately determined to warrant no violations upon inspection. Recent 2024 complaints included sanitary issues requiring attention to garbage/recycling storage. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both building systems and common area maintenance, particularly evident in the recent cluster of complaints and violations.
