Here's a candidate for the smallest church in our borough - a converted (forgive the pun) garage on Horace Harding Boulevard and 99th Street in Rego Park. No parking on Sundays, I suppose. While many larger churches are struggling, storefront churches are growing.-anonymous.

They are just residents playing the "Ministry card" to beat paying taxes and take rent $$ from 20+ people per room
Its real popular trick with these people.
With the hefty increase I just got
in my real estate taxes,
I'm going to look into doing the same
if that allows me to remove my property
from the tax rolls.
I could use a little "religiously applied" tax relief.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
Maybe all the rest of you homeowners out there
ought to consider following suit.
I think this is illegal. Some tried to open a mosque in a basement near us, and with all sorts of laws violated the fire department closed it down.
This is an old scam, even used here in NY more than 30 years ago. A multitude of police and firefighters used the scam. They were all (or most of them) caught and the fad died quickly.
Judging from the photo, it looks like this religion teaches garbage.
does the church holds wedding ceremonies?

This is a lucrative boat to be on - your neighbors will love you if you turn your basement/garage into the latest Preacher flavor of the month.
If I declare myself a minister or priest, can I avoid paying taxes?
Hi, I'm the reverend of the newly-formed Church of Advanced Spiritual Healing. Please make your donation checks out to "CASH" for short.
And God Bless You.
I've just used a little "religiously applied" sarcasm
(like in ha, ha,....tee, hee...heh, heh....yuk, yuk)
and you're a little too slow to know it bub!
There's a Jewish burial society (I believe)
headquartered in a Jamaica Estates residence
that DOESN'T pay real estate taxes.
And as long as they maintain one room as a sanctuary they're able to legally remain off the books
as far as the NYC Department of Finance is concerned.
I think this was reported somewhere in the media awhile ago. Does anyone know about it?

I hear that a Korean development group
is going to be building a new religious mall
with 40 churches and a food court....(ha, ha, ha) !
