135-03 Hawtree Street, Queens, NY 11417

The two-family house at 135-03 Hawtree Street in Ozone Park, built in 1930 and currently owned by Jim Hans, has significant ongoing concerns as of 2025. The property has multiple active violations and historical issues, with the most critical being open housing maintenance code violations from 2018 in the first-floor apartment (FL1), including missing carbon monoxide detectors, mold in the bathroom, hot water problems, and plumbing issues.

There is also an active Department of Buildings violation regarding unsafe electrical wiring in the cellar from 2018. The building has an extensive history of enforcement actions related to compliance issues, particularly involving US1 IT Solutions Inc., with multiple active Environmental Control Board violations (with penalties totaling over $112,500) dating from 2020-2021 regarding failure to comply with various commissioners' orders and removing posted vacate stickers.

Between 2021 and 2023, there were numerous complaints about illegal hotel rooms, illegal conversions, and failure to comply with vacate orders, though in each case inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts. The building's record shows a pattern of non-compliance with correction orders and persistent safety violations, particularly related to carbon monoxide safety and basic plumbing systems, though some issues date back to 2018 and earlier, suggesting inadequate follow-through on addressing these concerns.
