Augrented Insights Report for 38-20 Bowne Street

The 13-story residential building at 38-20 Bowne Street in Flushing, owned by David Barr and constructed in 1975, has been experiencing persistent maintenance issues in recent years. The property, which contains 319 units, has documented multiple pest-related complaints between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent being filed in May 2025 and closed with no violations found by HPD. Other recurring maintenance concerns include three separate incidents of unsatisfactory inspections in 2024-2025 related to window frames, water leaks, and electrical wiring, suggesting challenges with building access during inspections.

The building currently has nine open housing maintenance code violations as of December 2024, primarily related to missing safety and regulatory postings regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, as well as requirements for bedbug reporting and building registration information. The elevator system has been a frequent subject of complaints, with multiple reports filed between 2022 and 2025, though inspections consistently found no violations warranted. Recent environmental control board violations from 2019 remain active, primarily concerning an unregistered hot water boiler and the need for proper permits, with penalties totaling $4,000.

The building's management has also faced challenges meeting various inspection and reporting requirements, including missed deadlines for submitting external inspection reports in 2022 and 2023. While there was one documented pest infestation case between 2019-2020 with zero affected units, historical rodent inspections from 2012 showed mixed results, with one compliance inspection passing and an initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons. The property is currently showing a pattern of persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with multiple instances of housing code violations and service requests that indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and responsiveness to tenant concerns.
