St. Saviour's saga takes strange turn

A day after the St. Saviour's site was shut down for failing to adhere to a partial stop work order, it was opened up again, but then shut down again for failure to provide excavation plans. So I guess that means the inspector that had showed up Thursday about the retaining wall failed to notice that this activity was also going on. But several neighbors reported that the inspector that was there Friday stayed the entire day, watching the workers, and then at the end of the day slapped the SWO notice on the wall. (You'll note that Friday's SWO was partially rescinded the same day...) Interestingly, the orginal violation said FINES DUE at the end of Thursday, but by Friday that tidbit of information disappeared from the website. Perhaps the fine was paid. Perhaps pigs have learned how to fly... Something told me to screenshot it though:

Now, another reader sent in this photo of the dumpsters on the lot. He informed me that DSNY ordered the dumpsters to be removed from the site this week and that one had already disappeared. But he noted that there appeared to be pipe insulation in one of the dumpsters, which could possibly mean the presence of asbestos. Fun, fun, fun!


During this entire time, the elected officials have been extremely quiet. I thought they said at the rally that the thing to do was pressure the owner? So where are they? Dreaming about the open CD9 position? When the going gets tough, the electeds scram. Way to protect your constituents!

Elected officials or erected officials. YOU decide!

THAT pipe insulation is fiberglass.

Which is also toxic.

I love this. Regardless of what is in the bins, the fact that they are storing garbage on the property is a violation of the C of O for the property as well as the zoning. No fine for that?

What ass-kissing are you referring to?

Pipe insulation---asbestos?

Sounds like the kind of crap that Tommy Huang pulled at the RKO Keith's Flushing theater.

Word had it that Huang also used the theater as a dumping ground for (toxic?) debris from his other construction sites.

Notice how slowly government moves to stop politically connected developers.

$$ Green dollars talk.
No doubt these DOB and enforcement people are on the take or have been given strict "lay off" orders from some higher ups.

Payola works and does exsist.
I have recently aquired some sections of old stuff (for restoration) with cash and some jugs of South Hampton microbrew.

WHERE ARE THE ELECTED OFFICALS ?

Rerouting votes on in front of 7-11 or planning re-tirement planning trip to Bermuda with the Mayor.
Nothings going to change unless the people throw them all out.

I have yet to hear ONE public official out and challenge the mayor all this bullshit.
What you have is one big buddy system bag of Festering dirty diapers catering to special interest and immigrants.

Answer:

Elected official DON'T get re-elected if they buck the system or cross Bloomberg's developer pals.

Whatever Bloomberg wants....Bloomberg gets.

And Mayor Doomberg wants Maspeth buried in crap!

"Dizzy" Lizzy Crowley and company follows hizzoner like the pied piper with their noses up his ass.

That's where your elected officials can be found!

Oh, all of that glorious speechifying whenever there's a press conference a politician can attend.

But where is Crowley, Hevesi, Koslowitz, etc. now?

Didn't they promise to help at the rally?

Well, the photo ops are long over and they've all assumed the position once again.

They're busy blowing Boomberg!

Talk is cheap.
Action can make you lose your job!
