152 Prince Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

152 Prince Street, a 6-story New Law Tenement building located in SoHo, was constructed in 1907 and contains 40 units. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water problems in 2022 (both for the entire building) and a sink plumbing issue in 2025.

The most significant recent violation, from October 2023, involves multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations in Apartment 6L, including issues with bedbug infestation, water leaks in the kitchen ceiling, defective kitchen sink floor, broken plaster surfaces, and problems with wall paint. The building has a consistent history of rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025, though there was one failure in July 2018. While several maintenance issues have been reported over the years, including door/window problems and pest infestations (with a notable pest issue in 2023), the building has generally shown compliance with health and safety inspections.

Recent bedbug and infestation reporting records from 2022-2025 indicate no infested or eradicated units during the current reporting periods. The property has undergone recent inspections by various agencies, including HPD and DOHMH, with most complaints being resolved promptly, though some violations remain open. The building owner, Andrés Soto, has generally responded to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the multiple closed complaints, though the open violations in Apartment 6L represent the most pressing current maintenance concerns.
