109-15 Ditmars Boulevard, Queens, NY 11369

The two-family residence at 109-15 Ditmars Boulevard in East Elmhurst, owned by Hatim Bakr, has a history of various maintenance and regulatory issues spanning from 2019 to 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding unauthorized business activities and potential illegal conversions, including two investigations in 2023 for illegal hotel rooms and illegal conversions, with one resulting in an Oath violation served.

The building experienced maintenance challenges in 2020, with multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints filed on September 16-17 regarding doors, windows, and appliances, as well as non-emergency plumbing issues related to sinks. These complaints largely resulted in closed cases due to lack of access for inspections, except for one door/window complaint that was inspected with no violations found. Earlier, in 2019, there was a water supply plumbing issue that was also resolved.

More recently, there is an active complaint as of June 2025 regarding an unpermitted food establishment, currently in progress with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Additionally, environmental control board violations were recorded in August 2023 regarding parking regulations, though this was resolved without any imposed penalties. The building's history suggests periodic maintenance issues and concerns about unauthorized commercial activities, with varying degrees of resolution depending on inspection access and the nature of the complaints.
