Augrented Insights Report for 42-37 Union Street

Bowne House Realty Corp's 53-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 42-37 Union Street in Flushing, built in 1926, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with eight emergency complaints documented between January and February 2025 regarding no heat or hot water in the entire building. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has generally closed these complaints after confirming restoration of services, though inspection access was sometimes not granted.

The building has open violations from a November 2024 inspection of Apartment 11A, which identified multiple issues including water leak problems, defective mailboxes, a broken entrance door latch assembly, and various safety concerns such as defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and pest infestations. Recent structural and maintenance concerns include a March 2023 Environmental Control Board violation for exterior masonry issues including vertical cracks and sagging steel lintels, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

Multiple Department of Buildings complaints in late 2024 regarding construction work, building stability, and permit compliance were all closed without violations being warranted. The building has experienced periodic pest control issues, with three documented instances of bedbug infestations between 2017-2023, though none were reported in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024). Rodent and pest inspections show mixed results, with some failing inspections in recent years while others passed, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
