218 Thompson Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

218 Thompson Street is a 6-story, 34-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Anh Do. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between May 30-31, all of which were subsequently closed after HPD confirmed corrections were made. A water supply plumbing complaint remains open as of May 2025, along with issues related to window frame problems and pest control concerns.

The building underwent significant violation activity in late 2024, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued, including C-class violations for fire escape window concerns in apartments 3 and 26, door issues in apartments 5 and 26, and a C violation for rodent infestation in apartment 23, along with B violations for damaged ceramic floor tiles in public hallways. The building's recent history shows consistent pest management challenges, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections and bait applications throughout 2024-2025. Previous major violations include multiple counts of work without permits in 2021-2022, with associated Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $7,590.00, though some of these violations were later dismissed.

The property has maintained a record of no reported bedbug infestations across five consecutive reporting periods from 2021 to 2024. Several building systems have raised concerns over the years, including a boiler inspection issue in 2023 where access was not granted, and multiple Local Law compliance inspections in 2024. While many violations have been resolved, as of 2025 there remain open issues regarding heat/hot water systems, plumbing, and building maintenance.
