Board decides Huang created his own hardship


From the Times Ledger:

Community Board 11 voted unanimously to oppose the completion of several homes that were constructed in Bayside more than five years ago by controversial developer Tommy Huang.

The board voted 37-0 against allowing Huang to finish the project, which has drawn numerous complaints, violations and stop-work orders since the developer acquired the property in 2002 and began constructing four homes at the site.

The developer could not be reached for comment. The four buildings are located at 39-39 223rd St. and along Mia Drive near the Cross Island Parkway in Bayside.

The site’s lot had previously held one lot.

The homes had mostly been completed several years ago, but Huang’s application to CB 11 asked the board to allow him to complete the project on the grounds that he had incurred considerable financial expenditures.

But Christine Haider, the board’s first vice chairman, said CB 11’s zoning committee believed “it was a self-created hardship.”

Huang has been attempting to obtain certificates of occupancy for the homes.


Why not vote "yes", but "with conditions", like CB7? Oh that's right, CB11 members didn't just fall off the turnip truck.

I wish they could order him to tear down the buildings too.

good to see a community board that actually speaks for the community.

There are precedents for requiring him to tear down the buildings.

In Manhattan recently the developer of the "Sky House" condos in tribeca built several illegal penthouses on the roof of the building and he was ordered to remove them all at a cost of many millions.

Huang would lose a lot less money on this.

Don't they have the same laws in Queens and Manhattan?

the building where they were forced to tear down the penthouses is sky lofts, not sky house.

as long as he doesn't care if they're every occupied, he doesn't have to tear anything down.

Huang obviously doesn't need to sell these things. the longer they sit there, boarded up, the lower the surrounding property values will drop.

eventually the CB will begging him to finish.

Ordering them to tear down those houses is the next step for CB11.

Huang also enjoyed "considerable financial" gains by building POS houses without regard for the surrounding neighborhoods. Fuck them and the ugly women they rode in on.

It goes onto the BSA,
so 'til then, all bets are off.
Only and BEST thing the community/CB11 can do,
is to write the BSA and most importantly,
show up at the hearing to testify.

So sorry Bayside, you were warned about Huang more than 20 years ago.

This blog is full of racist nobodies. Deal with it! Your beloved Queens is changing it was nothing more than crap and factories to begin with before developers built homes in Queens. The blog owner should really find something more constructive to do with his time and so should the imbeciles who frequent it. It shows what trash queens really is. How pathetic. It upsets me that the owner of this blog is such a waste of a person. ( Now censor that!)

Somebody ought to tell that ambulance chaser Nick Miglino at CB7 to brush his teeth and stop dressing like a sleazy looking hippie/lawyer.

Get a haircut you fool!

And who was responsible for putting that lying bitch Pauline (Pau Lin) Chu on CB7?

"Moby" Stavisky I presume...another smelly old gash!

So it's racism ya want eh?

Well here it is:

You'll wonder where the yellow went when you shove those Huangs in wet cement!

Racism has nothing to do with speaking up against shady developers who profit on ruining our neighborhoods and don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. That way of business wont win the Huangs many fans.
