Nonconforming building? No problem!

85-93 66 Avenue, Rego Park: formerly a car repair shop in the midst of 1-family homes.
Now: Enlargement of existing non conforming commercial building

If it was nonconforming to begin with, why is it allowed to now be enlarged? And why does it look more like a new building instead of an "alteration?"

Gee, maybe a local newspaper will tear themselves away from yet another pointless politician plaque ceremony (a bunch of unions, developers, Con Ed, fat cats and officials droning on and on and on) and actually cover something useful for a change.

Hey community blogs! Tear yourself away from Remax ads and looking these problems!

Why doesn't someone local write to their city council person and share the response with ol Crappie?

the NYC DOB has to be the lamest and most useless agency in the nation. Do developers run it or something?

Another fine example from the Katz litterbox.

Increasing the degree of non-compliance is prohibited by the NYC Zoning resolution. This project should have never been approved!!!

Instead of city council passing a bunch of headline grabbing laws that are promptly ignored, why don' they enforce that stuff that is already on the books?
