42-08 Bowne Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 10-unit, 4-story residential building at 42-08 Bowne Street in Flushing, owned by Meiyun Chen, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced multiple regulatory interactions since its completion. Most concerning is an active complaint from April 2025 regarding an apparently missing Certificate of Occupancy, which remains unresolved as of the latest available data in July 2025.

This building has also faced challenges with access during inspections, with inspectors unable to gain entry during attempts in 2022 and 2025, as noted in complaints related to Sustainability Enforcement and the Certificate of Occupancy issue. Throughout its short history, the building has been subject to several construction-related complaints, including issues with construction safety compliance and work being performed contrary to approved plans.

Notably, three stop work orders were issued during 2021-2022, though all were subsequently rescinded. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official filings from 2022 through 2024 showing zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units, though these records are somewhat unusual as they show no identified units under any category. The most recent activity, including the open complaints about the Certificate of Occupancy status and Sustainability Enforcement issues, suggests ongoing regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding compliance with required permits and certifications.
