A Rego Park building damaged in February following sloppy excavation work at a property next door has grown to the point of near collapse, city officials warn.
Cracks that appeared along the north wall of the six-story apartment building at 94-01 64th Rd. have continued to grow even as the city hit the contractor with fines for failing to safeguard the area and protect nearby properties.
Booth Holdings LLC plans to build luxury housing on the neighboring property. A principal couldn’t be reached for comment.
The Buildings Department issued a stop work order for the site in February and ordered contractors to install exterior support structures. In total, seven violations remain open against the construction companies.

c.h.u.d.s.

I still don't get why hipster is a negative? What is wrong with creative, educated, Americans moving into an area?
Rego Park could certainly use a face-lift. It's a shithole. It's the developers, the politicians and the Third World trash that have destroyed NYC, not creative, educated, Americans.
There's still a lot of Archie Bunker left in Queens.
"I still don't get why hipster is a negative? What is wrong with creative, educated, Americans moving into an area?"
Simple. You seem to think that hipsters are "creative" instead of stuck in arrested development. Mooching off their parents until they're 30, not producing anything of value; all they do is drive up housing prices for working people.
As you can see, luxury developers prefer to build quickly while the market is still hot. I feel sorry for the residents whose windows will soon be blocked out by the new tower.
Good to see Koslowitz on the site, let's see if her office can prod the Buildings Department to doing right by the residents.
As an amateur seer I see a bankruptcy in Booth Holding LLC's future.
Hipsters over Buhar garbage anyday!!
And bring wiggles back please....
Hipsters over Bukhara anyway.... Maybe we will get a live music bar next?
"Hipsters over Buhar garbage anyday!!"
Truth.
Haven't seen much of the hipster element out here in forest hills. What I see moving to my building out here is Asians, Middle Easterners and more Russians.
rego park a shithole eh,
if you want to put it that way,then the lower east side,soho,downtown brooklyn,williamsburgh,bushwick,LIC,astoria are shitholes with bigger pricetags.
get out,you spoiled impotent brats.
great rebuttal Q.C. to the hipster booster.way to summarize everything repulsive about these scourges.
Keep up the muckraking,especially since you been getting results lately.You're doing a great service and your site is greatly appreciated.
Another project by Scarano. How come he did put his name as the architect of record? Did he lose his license?
They should evacuate the building before something happens.
