Slumlording in LIC


So here we are at 11-13 47th Road in LIC. You'll notice the wonderful banner across the top of the building.

Why, it's our old pal, John Ciafone!

If you spot one of these ads, chances are extremely good that you'll discover a whole bunch of violations for the property it's hanging on.

This one not only has a stop work order on it, but it has thousands of dollars in violations attached to it. It's also got at least one unanswered complaint.

Let's hope this chap runs for office again.

This whole thing is tragic and comic at the same time. Queens in 2014.

HAHAHHAAH, why?

You know "you'll" vote for him once again.

I speak 100% candidly.

No one voted for him the first 3 times he ran. He's a perennial loser. I just like easy targets.

The reason he can't win is because he's with the wrong people. If he got his ass out of the Aldo's club and made efforts with other clubs and allied with Vallone against Constantanides, then he might win.

Mr. DiBlasio should focus on collecting the outstanding fines on buildings such as this. The owner owes thousands of dollars.

J.P. Associates appears to be the owner. For the record, John Ciafone signed documents as the President of J.P. Associates. Many of the violations are notated "quality of life" issues.

It appears that no permits have "ever" been issued for that address. Nonetheless, "illegal" work appears to have gone on at various times for years.

Lawyers should be held to a higher standard??????

Whoever invented vinyl siding ought to be drawn and quartered.

You said it George! There's probably a charming brick building under all that shit. It's especially egregious in Fucked-Up Flooshing where it's used to cover up Tudors!!!!!

Everyone with vinyl siding and and white plastic fences should be fined by the Aesthetics Police! Oh crap - they don't exist.

It would appear that a judge of the Queens County Supreme Court would concur with the previous anonymous commenter's observation that this man is a moron. Among other things:
