Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Apparently it either does need commentary, or I'm stupid, because I have no idea what you're getting at.
I vote for stupid. You can't see that the yard is completely paved over causing catch basins in the area to become overburdened, there is a commercial vehicle parked on a residential property, likely all the time and in violation of the zoning code, and the out-of-town owner is selling parking spaces?
This is typical for this side on Middle Village. Come check out the 18 wheeler trucking rig one of my neighbors likes to park overnight on the "sidewalk" up 78st between 69rd and upper copper ave. Or the Russian, that just moved on the block, that uses the block to park his 3 commercial construction vans (Taurus Construction Corp)every night. Since the 104 hardly comes back here...NO ONE is getting any tickets.
"I vote for stupid."
I hope that vote's for yourself, asshole. Not everyone knows what the codes are, or that you're not allowed, according to your friendly explanation, to park a commercial vehicle on private residential property. Douchebag.
(And really on the commercial vehicle? If I run a business out of my home office, I can't park it in my own driveway overnight? Why not?)
Ignorance of the law is not an acceptable defense. And no, you can't park a commercial vehicle on residential property. You never have been able to. No one wants to look at your contracting van on your front lawn or a dump truck in your driveway. It brings down the neighborhood. Commercial vehicles are supposed to be parked on commercial property at night.
Same problem here in Maspeth on
73rd & 74th Streets from Calamus all the way up to Grand Avenue; the 104 has been called and no one gives a shit!
I vote for VERY stupid. What a jerkoff.
An acceptable defense, Crappy? Fuck you. I was asking a legitimate question of what was so offensive and wrong in these pictures, as well as legitimately asking whether you can park a commercial vehicle in a private residential driveway. What a nice fucking attitude. I hope all your neighbors pave their yards and park the contractor vans on the cement grass.
We're not all know it alls like you, Sir Craps a Lot. Way to be helpful and EDUCATE your readers. I agree - I hope your neighbors are everything you hate about Queens, and your local pols don't give a CRAP about YOU.
I just did educate you, and you got pissed off. My comment about ignorance not being an acceptable defense is true. Ask anyone who ever got a ticket or fine in this city. There's another lesson you can file away in your brain, if you have one.
Trust me, local pols give a giant crap about this blog.

Are you for real, Crap? I made the first comment, because i truly had NO idea what the problem was? Am I ignorant? Far from it. I've just never needed reason to know that one shouldn't pave over their yard other than it looks ridiculous. I've lived in NYC all my life and always in a rental, so I had no need to know this was law. Ignorance of the law is not an acceptable defense, but inquiring what's wrong with pictures you chose not to comment on because someone genuinely does not know what is at issue shouldn't be reason to be called ignorant.
I concur with the "fuck yous" handed out above. Fuck you, Crap, fuck you.
Definition of ignorance is "a state of being uninformed". Yes, you were ignorant. (Also ignorant of the definition of ignorant.) But now you are informed. And fuck you, too.
Ignorant people are a large part of why Queens looks the way it does.
This blog tends to speak more to those already involved in their communities. That's why no caption is required.
And I bet now you'll never forget that what's shown in the photos are infractions.
The legal principle that ignorantia juris non excusat, literally "ignorance of the law is no excuse", stands for the proposition that the law applies also to those who are unaware of it.
The title of the post should give someone with a semblance of a mind a giant clue as to what's wrong in these photos.
You're still an asshole. Someone asks with sincerity what's wrong, and that's what you tell them? Asshole.
Can't anyone here ask or answer a question without name calling?! If someone doesn't get the point of a photo, just explain it. Don't lower yourself as you try to insult someone else.
Hey it wasn't me that kept coming back and using "douchebag", "fuck you" and "asshole" in my responses. I said nothing insulting in my original response. Citing "ignorance of the law" is not the same as calling someone an ignoramus. But there are a lot of overly sensitive, defensive people out there.
It's also not very mature to say something like, "I hope your neighbors are everything you hate about Queens, and your local pols don't give a CRAP about YOU."
Wishing someone on someone that you are fighting against is really immature. I have to believe that a teenager or someone with immature intellect is commenting here.
It's your attitude, Sir Crap. Your first comment could have been toned down a bit.
Ironically, if I had put that exact same language in the post instead of in the comment, no one would have objected.
"Apparently it either does need commentary, or I'm stupid"
Did you ask to be called stupid in your first post? Yes you did by the cut and paste job above. So why get sand in your vagina when someone does it. We can't help it if something is wrong with your medulla oblongata.
Crapper isn't the second anon...that would be me.
Just like the crap that was featured on this site a few years ago on 70th Ave and 67th Place in glendale. Area full of 2 family homes (R4-1 zoning) but somehow a block of 3 story buildings gets put up. 6 attached units. One big shared yard. Oops, did i say yard? I meant to say, parking lot.
Anon 1, you are way out of line because Crappy didn't call you stupid, someone else did. And as a lifelong NYer, you ought to have thicker skin. While I do not have intimate knowledge of the city codes, the title of the posting cleared it up after about 2 seconds of thought. It was not as puzzling as you make it out to be, and if you are a regular reader of this blog, it should have been pretty clear what the point was.
"but inquiring what's wrong with pictures you chose not to comment on because someone genuinely does not know what is at issue shouldn't be reason to be called ignorant."
NO ONE would know EXCEPT the author of the story - seeing completely paved over yards today is commonplace - the post could have been written better.
Your argument might have been plausible if others only DIDN'T know.
But we did!
Queens Crap definition of "others":
one poster posing as several.
No I think you mean that you are posting as several "offended" readers.
This is the fault of our flawed building codes in this city that were "supposed" to be overhauled but in reality were not and in fact will cause more of this for years to come.
As long as we have a Department Of Buildings that is not policed by an outside independent unit, this will continue and destroy what little is left of our once great city. And that, folks, WILL NOT happen as long as Bloomberg, Quinn, Marshall and the rest of these criminals are still in office.
So get used to this, it's not going away and it will get worse, because anybody that does this and gets away with this,
WAS NOT BORN AND RAISED HERE AND HAS NO REGARD FOR OUR CULTURE, OUR LAWS, OUR HISTORY AND OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT LIVE IN THE CRAP THEY BUILD.
