Hazardous condition down below

I couldn't resist taking a peek at this document posted in the doorway of a giant crap pile at 1075 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood. There is apparently an illegal cellar apartment here that was forcibly vacated.
Note the gorgeously landscaped parking area.
Interesting how there are no fines for this.

I am sure it was squatters, unbeknownst to the owner...
Look at those balconies, they are like perches. Perches with barely enough room to store a bmx bike. What views of the asphalt it must have.
Wasn't ridgewood hot at one point? wha'happened?
Actually if you click onto the different violations you can see the fines imposed and paid. The Landlord doesn't care about the fines since the rent he or she is collecting from the illegal tenant is probably more than the fines. "Cost of business" in queens real estate I guess.
Kudos to Badge # 2357 for getting access and shutting down an unsafe apartment building! Can you help out Badge # 2286?
86-45 231 Street in Queens Village has been has 18 complaints for illegal conversion and nobody can gain access. From the street the DOB has stated: NO ACCESS, EXTERIOR EVIDENCE VISIBLE FOR ILLEGAL CONVERSION,LS4 POSTED. LS4 Posted is code for a mailed letter requesting an inspection be scheduled.

Seems weird to go to the expense of building porches yet not bother to build them large enough to be useful.
I think if more tenants knew and exercised their rights we would see a lot less landlords building illegal units in their basements. If a unit is illegal than the landlord has no right to rent it, so any tenant which rented the illegal unit could legally demand that any and all rent they paid for the illegal unit be returned as the unit never met the conditions for a legal habitation.
That's one big pile of CRAP! It looks like third world housing.
There must have been one one family house there at one time that faced the narrow end of the lot. How do the builders get away with squeezing in several without a back yard? I've seen this done in other Boroughs also.
Its called tenement housing people.
The ghetto is leaving the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan and expanding in Queens.
