Flushing has its own "half house"
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
"The owner of 141-20 Booth Memorial Avenue (which I drive by a lot) McMansionified his attached house, which must be hell for the neighbors at 141-18, judging by the complaints on the DOB website. I can't believe they let the owner do this." - anonymous
Similar to the Elmhurst Half-House, one of the earliest posts on QC!

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

No limit to the stupidity, cementing over half the window shutter and most of an attic window??? Who thinks of this?
Wow. It's hard to believe this exists. Thanks DOB. Not only is it a nightmare for the neighbor, but a sad example of what shitty people can expect to get away with.
Time to get a new councilman.
Ah the Falasheng specials. There are plenty of those around.
Pretty much everywhere.
Another turd dropped in Flushing.
So what else is new?
You would think this is a unique structure in Queensboro Hill, but similar ones are all over QB. Aesthetics mean nothing to the Chinese immigrants; its all about how many people they can fit inside.
QB has become a part of Flushing Chinatown over the last ten years, along with these hot mess buildings everywhere. I don't understand how they aren't embarrassed to live in such a crappy neighborhood.
