What's up with this house?


From Forgotten-NY:

I wonder what the story is with this seemingly abandoned Tudor at 115-8 Park Lane South in Kew Gardens. At least I think it’s abandoned. The grass had been unmowed for months, and the gate was wide open and I walked right onto the lawn.

Probably awaiting a developer's wrecking ball.

The owner likely created some voids in the roof and will soon cry "Rotten Timbers"
You can then flip the property to a sh*tbox builder for more money.
This has become an epidemic, especially on the North Shore Little Neck to Huntington.

This is how its done
The Gatsby house in Sands Point for example.

The owner sold everything of value inside (including the parquet floors and doors)
By the the local code enforcement shows up rain and the elements have already destroyed it. The structure then "Rotten Timbers" an emergency demo permit is immediately issued.
5 cement Persian shitboxes all with double sinks in the kitchen are now going up on the Gatsby (Lands End) property.
Homes for North Shore LIJ hospital brass and doctors.
These Iranian, Indian and Bukharin doctors marry each others sisters and relatives to pool their money and colonize.
Not one tree or blade of grass remains where ever they build.

Another great area of N.Y.C. being destroyed one house at a time.
Same thing being done here in North Flushing. :-(

To these new tweeded and immigrant slumlords these are just old “piggish American” buildings & "greenery" sitting on wasted space.

To them living normal is huts or cement barracks housing up to 3 generations of family 8 per room with 1 common hole in the floor as toilet. Lets not forget the trench of raw sewage, rats and garbage behind the structure.

The age of 400 passenger jet airplanes, internet, civil rights and open borders is sinking America 1000X faster then old Rome.

The above things pe-empted culled the buffers that made newcomers assimilate into American culture slowly.
Now America has become one big flophouse run by criminals who elect or appoint there own personal representation.

What is wrong?

Um - big piece of undeveloped land?

As they say in Old Astoria when they tear down a 150 year old mansion "people want new buildings" and everyone on Tony Bennett Blvd. nods in agreement.
