Well here's an interesting tidbit for ya...
The Greater Allen AME Cathedral and Conference Center (the church is also a major developer) in Jamaica has, according to online DOB records, been operating without a certificate of occupancy. They had a temporary one back in 1998 but it quickly
expired.
The above list shows why they have yet to obtain a permanent C of O. (Yikes!)
This shows what they still need to file to become legit.
Filed in 1995, approved in 2017? At this rate they'll have their certificate sometime in 2050.
For those of you who aren't familiar with this church, it's run by
former Congress Member Floyd Fake...er, Flake.

Laws are made for the little people.
Is the DOB going to go after synagogues and mosques as well who don't have a CO??

Probably not
The pan am shelter on queens Blvd does not have a valid co either. The just have a letter of no objection. Something very fishy here. Mayor's office hand his dirty hand in this.
Some times there is justice in the world, not often, but Rev ASSHOLE PIMP Flake has dementia (though they been trying to keep that a secret) and is pretty much out of it. My sources tell me he no longer even gives sermons.
This whole bullshit with one of the most SHADY big profit churches in the country is amazing, but then it is Queens and Jamaica, so no surprise as usual. In the meantime the whole area around that behemoth is a ghetto mess.
Make that over 25 years and counting. Why can't the city issue a vacate or daily fines?
Because its too big too fail, a Cofo for new buildings is basic. Not to mention all these years fire safety and other requirements, shame on the city for its shameless behavior. Worse yet, sometimes owners will post-pond a hearing to avoid an additional fine. Technically dob should be issuing fines for non-compliance or tickets anyway, and if the violation underlying is dimissed that will be dismissed;
