37-04 Bowne Street, Queens, NY 11354
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 37-04 Bowne Street in Flushing, built in 1925 and owned by Benjamin Wai, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are active violations as of 2024 concerning self-closing doors that are either missing or have defective hinges in multiple locations, including the building entrance and the 4th-floor apartment. Inspection records from August 2024 reveal significant issues in Apartment 4D, including mold concerns, water damage, and problems with plastered surfaces in various rooms, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen.
The building has also faced recurring water-related issues, evidenced by multiple complaints and violations regarding leaks in both 2023-2024 and earlier dates. The property's maintenance history indicates a pattern of disputes over basic services, including multiple heating and hot water complaints, not only for individual apartments but also affecting the entire building (with documented violations in January 2024). Additionally, there are documented pest control challenges, with the most recent Unsanitary Condition order regarding pests issued in December 2023.
While there was one reported case of bedbugs in 2020-2021, subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2025 show no infestation cases. The building's rodent activity history between 2019 and 2022 shows consistent rat activity, with inspections in multiple years confirming this issue. Recent complaints from June 2024 regarding water leaks and paint/plaster issues were investigated but did not result in violations being issued, though these problems were logged as non-emergency complaints.
