178 Thompson Street is a 6-story, 26-unit old law tenement building located in Greenwich Village, owned by Nader Ohebshalom and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent complaint filed in March 2024 regarding the entire building experiencing heat and hot water problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Similar heating complaints were documented in April 2019, though tenants reported restoration of services during the inspection.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past eight reporting periods from 2018 through 2024, with no infested units reported in the most recent filings. Rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with seven consecutive passed inspections between 2012 and 2024, though there was one failure recorded in May 2013. The property has faced multiple smoking-related violations, with four complaints filed between January and February 2023 alone, plus an additional complaint from May 2019, all of which were administratively closed.

In terms of building maintenance, there was a lighting-related violation issued in June 2018 regarding inadequate front entrance lighting, which was certified as corrected within days. An investigation into potential illegal hotel room usage was conducted in 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts. The recent documentation suggests generally proactive management regarding pest control and maintenance requirements, though the recurring heating issues may indicate some challenges with building systems reliability. The most recent housing maintenance code violation pertains to missing annual bedbug report filing, which was documented in March 2023.
