Seneca Avenue crazy crap got stopped

You may remember this big steaming pile from a post here last summer - August 2016. Shortly after that post was made, there was a partial stop work order placed on the site. But not for the questionable mezzanine (DOB made sure to mention that is was A-OK) - for an unsafe scaffold. All these months later, per DOB precords, it doesn't look like they've rectified that situation, and work has seemingly come to a halt.

Ridgewood: Where anything goes!

Feast your eyes on this monstrosity. This is 482 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood. It actually is turning out to be less hideous than originally planned. Those bay windows are special.

This is an "ALT-1" job (note the piece of original wall at ground level). I was amused by the sandwiching of a mezzanine between the 4th floor and the roof (not allowed), but listed on the Schedule A as between the 1st and 2nd floors. It's also clearly a 5 floor building instead of 4 as listed on the permit.
