Augrented Insights Report for 42-40 Bowne Street

**Building Overview:** Bowne House, located at 42-40 Bowne Street in Flushing, is a 6-story, 77-unit residential building constructed in 1956, currently owned by Yimin Gao. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues between 2019-2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD for both entire building and apartment-specific outages, though most were resolved with service restoration confirmations.

Recent records show a bedbug infestation pattern, with one unit reported infested in the 2022-2023 period, following previous infestations in 2019-2020 (4 units) and 2020-2021 (1 unit), though all were reportedly eradicated. **Recent Violations and Concerns:** As of 2025, Bowne House has multiple active violations requiring attention. These include significant facade maintenance issues noted in May 2025, with inspectors documenting step cracks and missing mortar joints on various building exposures, as well as ongoing concerns regarding the building's compliance with facade inspection requirements (FISP) dating back to 2021.

The building faced several Department of Buildings complaints in late 2023 through 2024 regarding unauthorized work and illegal conversions, though most inspections resulted in no violations being found or inability to gain access. There are also persistent violations related to missing safety notices and requirements in public areas, including gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and other safety-related postings, dating from 2019 inspections. The building's exterior maintenance has been a recurring focus, with sidewalk shed conditions and pedestrian safety concerns noted in multiple ECB violations between 2022-2024, including significant penalties related to inadequate pedestrian protection and failure to submit required safety documentation.
