Led by Bayside Councilman Tony Avella, more than 30 local residents rallied in front of the partially finished house, which has been under construction for 16 years.

The site, located at 163-05 Cross Island Parkway, has had a stop work order for illegal construction without a permit from the Department of Buildings since 2004.
