Trackfront Craphouse

You've heard of the Waterfront Crabhouse? Well, meet the trackfront craphouse. Alongside LIRR freight tracks, these were built as semi-attached 2 family homes, each with a 2-car garage. However, the homeowner on the left apparently wanted more rental income:

76-12 88 Street

"Convert garage to living space on 1st floor." Of course, DOB happily obliged. Doesn't look like they ever removed the garage door though...

I cringe each time I pass this monstrosity. The property use to be the next door neighbor's yard, but they sold it to developers. Now they have to live next to it.

as for the "crabs".....h-m-m-m-m !
