One Hull of a mess

Uh oh...another Hull of a problem here in Maspeth. The owners of the million dollar house have struck again!
They received a courtesy call from the DOB on Christmas Eve and were shut down once again for work without a permit. This has happened several times before.
They hastily left the scene with their junk left in the driveway.
The plumbing was installed recently under a valid DOT street opening permit. Why does the city issue a street opening permit for a building that has a stop work order on it? DUH, the agencies don't communicate. And guess who suffers because of it.

Now there are sawhorses and soft ground where a solid sidewalk should be. One can only imagine what construction debauchery will take place here in 2008. There were only 27 complaints thus far!

Developer should not be issued a permit if a stop order on the same project for another issue is in effect. Why are the rules allowing this - this is hurting the home owner next door - did you see that mass of water pooling near the neighboring home?
