132 Thompson Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

132 Thompson Street is a 6-story, 39-unit New Law Tenement building located in SoHo, built in 1912 and currently owned by Lisa Green. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with significant plumbing problems occurring in spring 2024 involving both bathtubs/showers and sinks, which were addressed but occurred simultaneously.

Previous plumbing issues had been documented in 2020, along with complaints about mold, unsanitary conditions, and ceiling paint/plaster problems that required emergency responses. The building's infrastructure faced challenges in 2018, when there were heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, and multiple violations were issued in early 2020 regarding air conditioner installations obstructing fire escape egress from various floors, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent inspection records have shown improvements, with successful rodent inspections and no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight reporting periods from 2019-2025, suggesting improved pest management.

However, there are several active violations from 2018 related to mold, mice, and various safety notices that remain unresolved as of 2025, including requirements to repair a leaking roof in Apartment 39, post gas leak procedures, and update building management contact information. The most recent building activity includes a work without permit complaint from December 2024, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. While recent inspections have generally passed, the building's history indicates persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in the areas of plumbing, mold, and general building systems, though recent years have shown fewer recurring issues compared to the 2018-2020 period.
