143-21 Bowne Street, Queens, NY 11354
The 48-unit, four-story New Law Tenement at 143-21 Bowne Street in Flushing, dating back to 1928 and currently owned by JJW Enterprises, Inc, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2024 and into early 2025. There were seven documented complaints about heating and hot water problems between July 2024 and January 2025, including multiple instances where Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to investigate, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in some cases.
The building has also faced several safety and maintenance challenges, particularly noted in mid-2024, including unsanitary conditions with pest infestations, issues with stairs requiring violations, and problems with carbon monoxide detectors. Specific violations were issued for apartment 3C in December 2024, including problems with self-closing doors, leaky faucets, and pest infestations, while apartments 2A and 2D had open violations regarding self-closing door issues. The property has an active environmental control board violation from 2019 regarding unauthorized parking on the property, with a penalty of $6,250, and two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019-2021 related to failure to comply with energy efficiency reporting requirements.
While there were several complaints about egress issues in early 2024, inspections found no violations at that time. Recent bedbug reports from 2021-2025 show no infestation cases, and a February 2024 rodent inspection passed, though earlier rodent inspections in 2013-2017 had failed for various reasons. The building received multiple HPD violation citations in mid-2024, including issues with window guards, bathroom fixtures, and interior painting requirements.
