From the Queens Chronicle:
Dozens of Woodhaven residents packed the Moose Hall auditorium in Richmond Hill last week to demand that police take action against unruly neighbors residing at a house on 98th Street and 87th Avenue.
Residents who live on the block between 87th Avenue and Jamaica Avenue said at the 102nd Precinct Community Council meeting last week that the one-family residence has been subdivided into four or five apartments and currently houses 20 to 30 adults and children. The children are reportedly unsupervised and have been seen running around in the driveway, according to individuals at the meeting.
A source from the 102nd Precinct said that representatives from the city’s Administration for Children’s Services have been sent to the premises to check on the children.
Police have been called to quell loud noise coming from the house and late night disturbances, residents said.
They also reported that garbage left outside the house and on the street has led to a rodent problem on the block.
On 4/14/11, it was referred to the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement and then apparently forgotten about, since it's now July and nothing's happened.

The 103 executive officer gave the all time lame excuse,lack of manpower.What happened to do more with less?! How about taking care of real problems and less worrying about summonses.......
The people in that house sound like illegal cockroaches.
Those parasites that have special protection by the Mayor who see's them as 40 future democrat voters.
The city's is also to broke to kick all those people out and pay to shelter them.
This is only going to get worse.
For example all those offspring are gonna grow up to be pregnant teens and Hispanic gang members like what happened in Los Angeles.
The 102 Pct. neighborhoods are for sure in the running to be the excessive noise and illegal conversion capital of the city.
In a sane world, the owner of this property would realize the this sort of division of a one- family into a five unit apartment ultimately is going to return less money in rents since the people there are not good risks and destroy the property in the process.
Hey, where are your elected representatives on this travesty of enforcement.
Let me guess.
Down the street getting photo ops with the residents of this house in yet another silly tweeding exercise.
Myth

REALTY
PERHAPS SOME OWNERS OFTEN JUST INHERIT THE PROPERTY OR GETS ITS FOR A SONG BY SOME POL THAT IS CONNECTED WITH A PROBATE JUDGE SO IT COSTS NOTHING - AND AS THEY LIVE OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD DO THEY CARE.
LONG TERM? NO ONE THINKS THAT. YOU MAKE THE MONEY WITH TEAR DOWNS AND REBUILDS.
BESIDES, THE HOUSE IS FILLED WITH TWEEDED THAT MAKE FINE PHOTO OPS FOR THE POLS, EVENTUALLY VOTE DEMOCRATIC (ON THE OUTSIDE CHANCE THEY STICK AROUND), AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, CHASE AWAY THOSE PESKY QUALITY OF LIFE TYPES THAT MAKE THIS AN ISSUE.
SO THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS NO ONE OF IMPORTANCE THAT THINKS THIS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO ADDRESS.
AND AS LONG AS YOU SEND THEM BACK OF OFFICE AGAIN YOU KNOW ITS NOT GOING TO CHANGE -- SO THEREFORE ITS OK WITH YOU TOO.
AND FOR EVERY PROPERTY LIKE THIS THAT YOU CAN DRAG OUT INTO THE OPEN (TEMPORARILY) OF A COMMUNITY YOU HAVE A DOZEN CANCER CELLS LURKING IN THE BACKGROUND.
There's a little button on the left side of your keyboard that says "Caps Lock" Try hitting it again to type like a normal person.
IF THE BIGGEST ISSUE OF THE POINTS I RAISED TO YOU ARE THE CAPS THEN LET ME DO IT AGAIN - I DON'T CARE AS THE ISSUES RAISED ARE LIKELY BEYOND YOU.
Wow, this site is soooo educational!
Maybe I would have bothered to finish reading your post if it wasn't so annoying to read in all caps.
Most of us have people like that as neighbors if you live in Queens.
This is what you get when you let in the lowest common denominator from other countries. These people now have more rights then us who were born here, unreal!
"This is what you get when you let in the lowest common denominator from other countries. These people now have more rights then us who were born here, unreal!"
I agree.
The police can arrest every resident in the house, and the owner will just fill it up with more upstanding citizens. This problem needs to be addressed to more agencies than just the police department, the local politicians and department of buildings need to get involved, as well as ACS, among others......please stop laughing at me.

THEN STAY STUPID.
I Blame Mayor Bloomberg. He advocates illegal housing by not enforcing.
If it was in Manhattan, then it would be a different story.
Hopefully it happens next door to him or a relative. Karma is a bitch.
"If it was in Manhattan, then it would be a different story."
oh, BS!
Right down the hall from me an old tenant who was a renter (building converted co-op in 80's) just moved out. Her three bdrm was split into -five-.
On east 86th an acquaintance who lives in Yorkshire Towers a near 700 unit rental has had a spate of subdivided units where living rooms are turned into extra bedrooms.
The factors are; a resurgent NYC, watered down rent regulation, general cost of living and frankly, greed.
The City is now safe for landlords and other parasites.
GOP=Luxury City. Enjoy.
Sorry...... I don't believe the post about the Manhattan apts. being sub-divided.

Not exactly the cases my friend complained about, but the same building.
That's a complaint, not a violation. It hasn't even been inspected yet.
Its the city council fault - they go along with the mayor and turn their back on all the regulations that have been on the books for decades.
