37-22 Bowne Street, Queens, NY 11354
The 18-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 37-22 Bowne Street in Flushing, built in 1925 and currently owned by Chun Wai, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 confirming rat activity on multiple occasions. Water-related problems appear to be a significant concern, with three heavy flow water leak complaints registered between 2023-2025, including violations issued in May 2024.
There were also incidents of unsanitary conditions related to pests in late 2024, though HPD's inspection found no housing law violations. The building has faced various infrastructure and safety challenges, including a brief heat and hot water outage in January 2025, and multiple instances of water leakage affecting different parts of the building. A comprehensive inspection of Basement Apartment B3 in June 2024 revealed several violations requiring attention, including mold conditions, defective plaster surfaces, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
External building concerns were reported in September 2023 regarding roofing and gutter systems, though these inspections found no violations. It's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or eradications in the past five years. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, with complaints filed in 2019 regarding possible illegal hotel rooms and work without permits, though these were found to warrant no violations upon inspection.
