One fine crap specimen

Raise your hand if you think these are really 2-family homes as their permits suggest. (Here's another.)

I don't see any hands.

Historical aerial photos show this to have previously been a grassy empty lot or side yard. Now there's a minimum of 8 units here and not one blade of grass.

It's incredibly ugly but it's a palace compared to the shit that's built in Flooshing!

This was 2 old single family houses on Summerfield street.
They were owned by the Linko and Hoffmann family's who sold out when the grandmother died. (I knew these people our family rented parking spaces from them @ 25 a month)

The original 2 wooden houses had large front yards with Sumerfield St addresses. The corner one had wrap around side yard driveway with a gate and curb cut on ONLY on Summerfield.
Back then there was no 1075 Seneca ave or any house numbers beyond it.

Another piece of low class third world shit. Damn these are everywhere you look in Queens, it is becoming the norm.

What's with the tree? That doesn't belong there. Please tell owners to chop it down...immediately!

Third world construction for third world residents.

1075, 1077, 1079, and 1081 are each 2 family units (you linked to two permits above, showing so). This building was put up almost a decade ago.

I live here and these are 2 family homes. The permits are correct.

A decade old? They were completed in 2008, according to the permits.

Google Maps has a feature called "Street View". The Google van drives down a street with cameras and you can see what the street looks like.

I suggest you go to Google Maps and take a look at neighborhoods in Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. Not the tourist areas, not the upper class areas. Not the slums and favelas either. Just where ordinary people live.

No grass. Gates. Cement. It looks like these buildings. And it looks horrible. It looks like OUR slums with gated windows on the first floor and such.

When visiting relatives in Europe, they live in houses with big front yards, back yards, and grass all around where you can barely tell where the neighboor's property begins and yours ends, aside from maybe a few shrubs lined up in the middle.

It's much nicer. It looks safer. Developers are working to destroy this.

I don't mind developers doing business, but the graft and disregard for law has gotten out of control in Queens.

If its flushing, then there are more than 2 families living in that ugly 2 family house!! It looks like something I would find in a city in Pakistan!!
