Ramped up

You never know what you're going to come across when you walk around in Queens. This get up, located at 56-64 60 Street is waiting patiently for someone to make a sudden steering wheel shift. It's hard to believe that something like this is not considered a public safety hazard. Actually, it is. Let's take a look at the garage. Hmmm....it seems to be sealed off, and that is because the owner applied to turn it into a "rec room". Meanwhile, he's accused of making 3 illegal curb cuts around the property; some of these complaints date back to 1996. The room conversion permit was revoked, but how much do you want to bet that it's already been completed? Does it look like DOB made an impact at this location?

Meanwhile, across the street....
A permanent concrete ramp instead of a removable metal one. Genius! Also appears to be the same owner with the work done around the same time. DOB certainly has him quaking in his boots.
