People fed up with junk-filled property

From Cleanup Jamaica Queens:

In a relatively nice area off of Merrick Blvd (as can be seem by the above photo), sits some nice houses with yards, most of which are well taken care of, but directly near these homes not only sits the garbage strewn abandoned playground/vacant lot which I posted earlier, but another major eyesore, a vacant house at 108-50 171st Place owned by Bangladeshi slumlord Mahbubur Rahman (why am I not surprised). I point out this individual's ethnicity because more and more Bangladeshi slumlords have been causing many issues in Jamaica like this, while living in another community and allowing their property to fall apart and not give a shit who they rent to. Can you imaging them doing this in Forest Hills but yet they pull this shit in a predominately black community and they get away with this and our black leaders do shit.

Residents told me that the house has been vacant for about two months, but before that, was filled will possible squatters, while this slumlord did nothing, allowing the house to deteriorate. Over the years residents filed complaints about abandoned cars in the yard, illegal conversions, many families living in a house not set up for that. The owner was fined $2500 by DOB for illegal use of a residence with the cars in 2008. To this day that fined has not been paid. Before that the previous owner had complaints filed against him, but DOB did nothing in that matter.
