A property owner has been storing shipping containers behind his building at 61-42 Maspeth Avenue for a couple of years now in violation of the zoning code. Since he's been fined several times without compliance resulting, why isn't he being forced to take action by DOB and the local elected officials? How much longer will residents be forced to put up with this eyesore?

Shipping containers - not just for trains anymore!

The inspectors who issue these violations remind me of the Keystone Kops.
Each ticket issued is a variation of the same name- William R. Horner, Williams Horner, Horner William R.
Horner can try getting these violations dismissed because half the time his name isn't written correctly.
Forced? How-- police coming to arrest him and take the containers away? Will never happen here in NYC. N-E-V-E-R.
Elected Officials? Cone on now , and upset him and his friends that donate to their campaigns.
No wait you really want them to serve "THE COMMUNITY" they represent? wishful thinking.
They called the wrong agency, there are illegals hiding,living and creating new anchors in the containers, LOL!
really? the containers are the eye sore in that picture?
While they i agree they need to go, and the owner should be punished by however means possible, nobody can come and take them away. Nobody.
And that is NOT a bad thing, as doing so would violate property rights, which should be held to the highest regard in this country.
The shipping containers don't bother me as much as that brick piece of euro-shit with the bowling pin loading ramps next door
That was previously featured on Queens Crap!
Hey... the violations only cost $1,200 a year, one hundred a month...cheap. Where else can you find the warehouse with such low rent? I wonder what is in those containers. call NYPD!!!!!!!
Location, location, location!!!!
Shipping container in Queens = Crap!!!
Shipping container in hipster Williamsburg, Brooklyn, made out of recycled steel and used as "affordable, Green housing" = Wow!!! This is like, ya know, like soooooo cooool!!!! Let's go get some organic, free trade coffee!!!!
Location is everything!!!!
I'm gonna miss this place. Where oh where will we all meet?
Where those ugly Euro-trash multi-families are now there used to be such a big beautiful house with a really nice yard where so many of us who grew up in Maspeth would buy Xmas trees.
*sniff*
The developers destroyed Maspeth. The houses years ago were beautiful and the residents took care of their properties and were respectful to each other. Now, those old houses are gone and are replaced by eyesores which are so expensive, they are rented out to illegal aliens. Since they don't own the property, they don't care about it or their neighbors. Such a shame. Maspeth was once a great neighborhood. Now it looks like the third world. The saddest part is that no one cares anymore.
Maspeth is still one of the best neighborhoods in Queens. Sure, There are problems there like every neighborhhod. All you peole do is complain and whine about NY but I noticed you all still live here. I suggest you look for some property in Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore stc and you be begging to come back to your euro trash neighborhood. Wah wah wah all you do is complain.

Sad but true, other places are at rock bottom, crime ridden, welfare places. Most of NY Upstate is like that too. Maspeth unfortunately along with the rest of Queens has been allowed to be gutted.

Philly & Baltimore with the exception of Detroit have way better housing and way better quality of life than NYC. At least there, they respect their pasts. Here Bloomberg destroys it.
