They just won't get a permit

"So this place has a partial stop work order and picture below near the dumpster is where they are digging. When you look at the property and what they are Zoned for, they are going way far back to the retaining wall. This owner was caught twice with stop work orders and one I had to call the cops to get them bounced out look at the pictures they are going way more than we are zoned for." - anonymous

That's because the DOB is not being held accountable! So sick of Deblasio he does nothing to help the homeowners.
Minor alterations...
They'd better get some shoring in there before it rains heavily!!
The DOB doesn't have the resources or authority to really do anything. All they do is issue fines and notices. There needs to be a change in how property owners get fined and how fines are collected for there to ever be any change. It's a disgraceful thing that's going on in this borough.
Has anyone noticed that the same comments bemoaning the lack of action/corruption in the Department of Buildings are posted regardless of who heads our fair City? Lindsy, Bloomberg, deBlasio...
The city should confiscate the property and donate it to Habitat for Humanity!
Federal oversight of the DOB is needed, and the inspectors need to wear body cams.
The problem is that our politicians fail to pass legislation and laws that will put an end to all illegal construction. If they build it and it is contrary to zoning and or NYC DOB Building Code -- then it gets knocked down.
Until this happens nothing will change. So many years of adjacent neighbors; neighborhoods and citizens being abused by illegal and unsafe construction put upon us by developers; owners; unscrupulous architects and engineers -- needs to end.
Let's not vote in politicians that do absolutely nothing about these types of problems.
Also, there are architects and engineers that have worked for notorious developers such as the Huangs who should have lost their licenses long ago.
When that happens, it will have to stop. There is much falsification of documentation and self certifying of illegal projects done by some high profile architects in Queens. How does this get to continue. The NYC Professional Board needs to play a part in hearing complaints -- for review.

Democrat, Democrat pretending to be a republican, communist running as a democrat...
you missed Dinkins & Beam
and then Giuliani had to clean things up
the crap looks all the same to me
This was a beautiful house, in an R2A Zone, one family only. You can look it up ad for sale on the internet, 23-40 128 st College Pt.They have a permit for an alteration type 1, what a joke. It's a disgrace that the DOB who is aware of this problem,is letting them proceed & do what they please.The house they propose is even too large for the Zoning, they have a 3rd fl attic that exceeds the 5ft allowed.
Apparently the owner$ "know" someone at the DOB !
The alteration application was filed for in Feb, unapproved in March, then the same exact one approved in April...something weird here.
Someone is on the take !
Super Halal Meat 253-06 Hillside Avenue is a good example of how F**ked up the system is. The Building Department issued violations on this building five years ago. Five years later violations still haven't been paid and nothing has been corrected.
The city refuses to enforce existing laws and there is NO incentive for the building owner to correct any existing violations. This is BS and the system needs to be changed.
Department of Bribery.
>Democrat, Democrat pretending to be a republican, communist running as a democrat...
Lindsy was also a Republican. Or a Democrat pretending to be one.
>Someone is on the take !
The mayor.
