Abandoned Bayside house is a concern
From the Times Ledger:
An abandoned property in Bayside Hills has the neighboring residents itching with discomfort.
The home at 215-06 49th Ave. has sat for four years in disrepair with three different building permits posted on the construction fence. The latest is an Alt-1 permit issued in April 2016 for work on the cellar and the second and third floors. There is currently a stop work order on the building for civil penalties due on multiple violations, the Department of Buildings site shows.
The property, however, shows no signs of human intervention. Weeds have grown above the level of the fence and mosquitoes have established dominance in the air while raccoons terrorize people just taking their garbage out to the street at night.
State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) stood with Bayside Hills Civic Association President Michael Feiner and about 15 residents last Friday to discuss the poor quality of life for neighbors resulting from the neglect and asked the city Department of Health and Hygiene, Buildings and Sanitation to act in the interest of public health and safety.
Residents have reached out to the owner, known by the name Woei Chen Lee, repeatedly without success.

We had two brand new homes built on our block and was vacant for a long period of time. Suddenly the druggies came around and it was heaven to them. The owner never came around nor could be found.
The neighborhood had enough of it and police were called on several occasions. The houses were damaged and quickly unloaded for very high amounts and new owners still fixing up the problems left by this.
Because of this practically ever Home here had to get cameras because it was like an active and constant movement of people going in at all times of the day and night.
Nearly ruined a very quiet block with lots of small kids.
When it is finally sold, and "altered into a so called "McMansion" you will wish you had the raccoons back...
Why doesn't the city confiscate it, restore it and profit handsomely?
>functional wildlife preserve
>people complain because some wildlife isn't cute
I bet they'd hate having a park in their hood.
Why doesn't the city confiscate it, restore it and profit handsomely?
Because they don't have the right to do that?
Score another defeat for the local residents.
Good try, Tony.
