Factory illegally converted into yeshiva
From DNA Info:
A yeshiva is illegally using a factory building as a school and has racked up a litany of complaints about illegal construction, according to Department of Buildings records.
Neighbors have a laundry list of grievances about United Talmudical Academy, located at 25 Waverly Ave., which include the use of the street as a parking lot for school buses and students who harass women in nearby buildings and throw garbage out the window.
Now neighbors say the school is doing construction — including waterproofing the roof and working on the elevator shaft — without a permit at all hours of day and night.
Four complaints were made to the DOB on Nov. 6, prompting the department's emergency response team, which responds to complaints that are deemed hazardous and in need of immediate attention, to inspect the building.
One caller said that they were doing work on the building after 6 p.m. during the week and all day on Sunday, records show.
Inspectors issued a stop work order on the site the next day because of construction work being done in the building's elevator shaft without a permit, according to the DOB.
The agency found that workers were weatherproofing an abandoned shaft, had made illegal partitions and were using the building as a school illegally, the records show.
Two violations were also issued — for work without a permit that includes weatherproofing being done on the roof and occupancy contrary to use for a factory building being used as a school.
Over the next several days 12 more complaints were made to the department about continued construction at the building despite the DOB's order to stop.
A complaint made on Nov. 10 describes construction taking place at 2 a.m. on a Monday.

Oy vey. Such horrible antisemites making it harder for moral scholars to learn.
These complaints and violations mean absolutely nothing. The violations will never be paid or corrected
JOKE
Shows what you can get away with when you deliver votes and bribes, er 'campaign donations' to our fine 'public servants.'
re merchant:
watch the sarcasm,they might think you are down with hamas or isis
These are Satmar hasidim, the folks with the voting clout.
There is nothing that will stop them, or others, who wish to carry out illeagl conversions in the boroughs. It is not DOBs priority.
I've always been amazed by the juxtaposition of "voting clout" and the belief that they are totally exempt from Goyishe laws, rules, and regulations.
There's a lot of construction going on without permits in NYC.
Marino's supermarket (163rd & 29th Ave) has a scaffold surrounding it and is undergoing some hideous construction ALL WITHOUT ONE PERMIT DISPLAYED!!!!!
They've totally destroyed a once-beautiful Tudor facade - I'm sure they'll do a tacky terracotta stucco # number - Italians love that ugly, cheesy shit!
Of course DOB is going there because they don't have no connection.
if you know somebody you can get away with it.
why they don't go to 129-16 14th Avenue college poin already 3 weeks.everything is violation in there.
they are waiting so they can finish.
What a corrupted City.
Nothing will ever be done about it. This is another "protected class" in this city that is above the rules.
There is nothing that will stop them, or others, who wish to carry out illeagl conversions in the boroughs. It is not DOBs priority.
THE REAL PROBLEM? ITS NOT CITY COUNCIL'S PRIORITY BECAUSE THE PUBLIC HAS DONE NOTHING TO RUIN THEIR SILLY LITTLE PHOTO OPS WITH 'AMAZING' PEOPLE THEY ARE 'PROUD TO BE WITH.'
SHOW UP PROTESTING STUFF LIKE THIS AND YOU SOON WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION.
