Trump home has illegal conversion inside


From DNA Info:

The city issued a partial vacate order at President Donald Trump’s boyhood home, which has recently been listed on Airbnb, after the owners illegally converted the basement into an apartment, city records show.

The five-bedroom, Tudor-style house, at 85-15 Wareham Place in the affluent Jamaica Estates neighborhood, where Trump lived until he was 4, was sold at an auction in January for $2.14 million. In August, the new owners listed it on Airbnb with a price tag of $725 per night.

But shortly after that, the city received complaints from Community Board 8 and via 311 about the illegal conversion conducted in the basement, officials said.

The basement is not part of the Airbnb listing which advertises the other portions of the house, according to Airbnb.

CB8 District Manager Marie Adam-Ovide said Friday that the board received a number of phone calls and emails with complaints that there are people illegally living in the basement.

“Once we receive complaints, we have to act,” she said.

CB8 then notified the Department of Buildings, which referred the case to the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement investigating illegal conversions.

this house was bought over by Asians and they let it go for a long time -- and they also never follow rules -- the place was a mess -

No surprise here, Queens peasants, when City Hall itself has been completely (and illegally) converted by a hyper-corrupt, intensely incompetent and lethally dangerous troglodyte named Bullshit Bill de Blasio, to neo-feudalism, neo-fascism, neo-Bolshevism and neo-Liberalism.

The whole of city government is a padded cell under the maddening, bureaucratic, police state direction of a crooked-and-corrupt inmate/monarch who presides over Albany's Executive Chamber of Horrors, named 'Gargoyle Andy' Cuomo (of the hyper-corrupt Cuomo dynasty of epic, humanitarian-and-ecological fail)!

As usual - and the public be damned (again and STILL)!

They knew this since it was advertised on airbnb so why are they surprised?

In three-and-a-half years from now, they can put his library there.

For all the reading he's done, they'll have room to spare.

Don't worry about added traffic from visitors, this is one presidency we'll be glad to forget.

What difference does it make the city's finished.
DeBlasshole is going to blackmail the owners into allowing the city to legalize and Sec 8 these basements VS paying penalty's. Whats going on is straight out of the Stalinism handbook with private homeowners rights meaning nothing. The domino's are being set and the people are to stupid to realize whats happening or want autocratic government.
DeBlasshole is a communist!

And if this were the childhood home of our previous president, Barack Hussain Obama, would this even be a story.

Or perhaps all about diversity and living together with one another in peace and harmony.

Everyone grab a Coka-Cola, hold hands and start singing...
