Ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you...
A curb cut and parking garage exit in a crosswalk.
164th Street and Northern Blvd in Flushing.
The list of violations for this one is quite interesting. Naturally it was a self-certified job that doesn't conform to approved plans and DOB can't get access to do their audit.
But did they not notice the freakin' curb cut when they came to inspect? That doesn't require access...
You can't make this incompetence up, folks.

The curb cut does not have 7 feet clearance from the utility pole either. Seems like the builder extendeded the curb cut after he passed the inspection. The DOB should look into this.
Maybe Transportation Alternatives will call attention to this. Maybe pigs will fly someday, too.
Apparently there is LEGAL one on Main Street in Flushing that also has a garage exit/entrance going through the pedestrian sidewalk, near Kissena intersection. Entrane/exit are not as wide as Manhattan either. That one has been there past 10 years before the Asian became a predominant race on Main Street.
I walked by there sometimes and I can even feel it for the drivers as they exit or enter since they get frustrated with the heavy pedestrian traffic on main street.
The owner of this building is...guess...yep...you got it...KOREAN!
Maybe Kevin Dukun Kim's cousin?
This was a Steve Chon project, too.
well, we cant say anything about it, It would upset the asians and we CANT let that happen!
The crosswalk was put in by DOT in the middle of the block after the building was already completed.
Now that's funny. Nice try.

O'Connor?
Thank you.
Nothing more needs to be said.
Vincent Randazzo's building is located adjacent to the left.
Does he also work with Steve Chon...similar design?
There are quite a few Chon buildings from about 149th Street out to Bell B'lvd. Bayside along Northern B'lvd.
The inspectors cannot see because they have been blinded by being repeatedly struck in the eyes by heavy stacks of currency. As a final step, thick stacks of bills are wrapped over their heads and they are sent tapping down the streets with canes loaded with Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
I only say it because it is true.
