41-60 Bowne Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 6-story, 64-unit building at 41-60 Bowne Street in Flushing, built in 1921 and currently owned by Tal Sharon, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of heating and hot water complaints affecting the entire building throughout 2024, with multiple emergency service requests indicating problems with the building's heating system.

The building also faced indoor air quality concerns in 2025 involving chemical vapors, and there have been several documented issues with pests, including both rodent and insect infestations, particularly evident in apartment 1K which reported both mice and cockroach problems in 2024. The property has numerous open violations related to building maintenance, including issues with the exterior facade, which currently shows an active violation from July 2024 regarding maintenance of flower pots on the 4th floor. Historical data shows past elevator service concerns between 2019-2022, and multiple tenant safety inspections in 2020 and 2021 resulted in no violations.

Building records also indicate periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) showing no infested units. The Department of Buildings has documented various violations requiring correction, including issues with self-closing doors and fire safety materials in public areas. While some previous complaints have been resolved, including one related to window maintenance in May 2025, there remain several outstanding compliance issues that require attention, including non-compliance with energy efficiency reporting requirements for multiple years.
