Augrented Insights Report for 36-20 Bowne Street

The 87-unit, 6-story building at 36-20 Bowne Street in Flushing, owned by Steven Frey and constructed in 1940, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints in January, March, and April of that year. The building has also faced significant safety concerns, including an open 2024 violation related to obstructed fire escapes due to improperly installed air conditioning units.

Multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection require attention, including issues with compactor closet doors on multiple floors, missing safety signage, and requirements for proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detection. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about devices, service, and maintenance between 2020 and 2025, though some inspections found no violations. Recent maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and infrastructure challenges, including problems with faucets, bathtubs, and various building systems. Rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections in 2025, with bait applied on several occasions.

The building has passed bedbug inspections in recent years, with only one reported case in 2024 that was promptly eradicated. The property has several active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2024 relating to laundry equipment installation and building maintenance requirements, including concerns about gas dryer safety and flexible connectors in the laundry room. Three immediate hazardous violations remain open as of 2024, and there is an active requirement to certify corrections for previously issued violations. The building's energy reporting and efficiency requirements have also generated violations, though some past violations have been dismissed.
