36-19 Bowne Street, Queens, NY 11354
36-19 Bowne Street is a 6-story, 71-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Mordy Sohn. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2023 and 2025, including a recent emergency complaint in May 2025 that HPD could not inspect due to lack of access. There have also been two heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building - one in January 2025, which was resolved before inspection, and another in 2023.
The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including refrigerator issues (2023), garbage/recycling storage concerns (2023), and several complaints about bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating two infested units. Historical records show the building had façade maintenance violations in 2018, with penalties imposed for failing to maintain exterior walls and appurtenances. It has a history of elevator-related complaints between 2020-2024, though inspections found no violations warranting action.
The building's pest control efforts have varied in effectiveness, as evidenced by multiple infestation reports showing units were treated but with some re-infestations occurring. The property also has a documented history of plumbing issues, with a complaint regarding a basin/sink in 2020. While the building has had multiple violations and complaints over the years, many have been resolved, though the recurring nature of pest issues and occasional heat/hot water problems may impact resident comfort and quality of life.
