Augrented Insights Report for 139 Thompson Street

139 Thompson Street is a 5-story, 19-unit tenement building located in SoHo, constructed in 1875 and currently owned by Isaac Benishai. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, with multiple active violations as of 2025 including structural concerns such as "defected lintel at main entrance" and "missing bricks and damaged/spalled masonry." Between 2019-2024, there were significant construction-related problems, including multiple violations related to inadequate tenant protection plans, problems with scaffolding, and fire safety concerns.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with fire safety systems, emergency egress, and tenant protection compliance during construction periods. Recent inspections in 2025 indicated the building failed rodent inspections in January and February, with previous successful inspections showing improved conditions from 2019-2024. The property appears to have maintained a pest-free environment, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2018-2024.

The building's external inspections have revealed numerous violations requiring attention, particularly regarding the proper maintenance of building elements such as windows and façades. While some earlier violations from 2019-2020 were resolved, several remain active, including those related to the building's structural elements and safety systems. The property has shown some improvement in maintaining its rodent control program, with successful compliance in recent inspections.
