Holy crap in Jamaica!

From Cleanup Jamaica Queens:

Never ceases to amaze me the blatant destruction of our borough and in Jamaica.

On a somewhat quaint small block of Jamaica that is residential and pretty uniform as far as the homes go, a small one family home has been bought by a church and the church is in the process of being built at 89-25 168 Pl. There have been issues with this property for years, stop work orders, damage to next door neighbor's property, etc (last year was some major damage done to the back portion of the house). Currently DOB stepped in again and put a full vacate order and stopped construction, but not until some bizarre damage was done to the home next to it (which that home at 89-27 168 Pl seems to have illegal apartments, but DOB has not looked into that). It seems the construction company for the church, cut a huge part of the eaves and the full length of gutters off the house on the one side. I mean how was this even allowed to happen.

I saw when it was first going up and wondered how they were even going to get the top part of the church to fit next to the house and then today I saw what was done. And why was another church (which Jamaica is littered with) allowed to be put up on this block to begin with. Never ceases to amaze me at the shit that goes on & the shit that gets put up in neighborhoods while our leaders do shit.

So where do you put the dragon?

I thought it was a mosque going up at first....It amazes me that these physical and theological heretics go around building stuff completely out of character for the neighborhood. If you're going to build something, do it right! I never thought a church could be so ugly...I thought it was a mosque, seriously!

It's the Church of the Holy Eaves.

Why are all the phony "churches" allowed to begin with?

Shithole Third World Flooshing is littered with them. They throw a rusted swing set on their front pavement and get tax dollars for Universal pre-K (another giveaway to deSleazio's pals!)

Aside from some Christian wackos, this country is becoming MORE secular - so why are all these phony churches allowed to dodge paying taxes?

They never have services!!! They're brothels!!!

WAKE UP AND BAN THEM!!!

Perfect example of the kind of idiots that work at the DOB. Their councilman should brought up on charges as well.

That's so wrong!

Remember it's a church so everyone better keep their yaps shut or you'll be violating their religious freedom to build whatever they want where ever they want how ever they want.

I would rather have more Churches than more Starbucks, CVS's or another Apple store !

Ha! The owner will most likely live there and call it his home...and thereby will avoid paying any taxes. It's happening ALL OVER QUEENS.

Nice uniform row of houses? Just like Archie Bunker's block. At least this puts an end to boring conformity...NOT THAT I LKE It!

Face it, Jamaica is a crap dump.

Unless you live in ....yippy doo...."The Estates"' mention Jamaica and you immediately have to qualify that you live in Jamaica Estates....lest anybody should think you live in slumville.

True about thT. Just like if you tell Nyone you live in Flushing they think you live in an overcrowded Oriental colony.

It's another bogus church!

I don't much care for the new construction but if the footprint of the building is legit then the neighboring building was hanging over the property line which never should have been allowed.

I just threw up.

Another tax write off! That means everyone's property taxes are going up again next year! The more churches the more property taxes are to make up for the lack of taxes being received!

Yet another example of our elected hollowing out communities so they can collapse into transients clawing for a living.

....and the fact that this building has had various permits under the same application for years means that there is no zoning diagram!!

Unbelievable!!

Call yourself a "Church"-- you are tax free for life. Get it now?

What gets me is how it looks like they cut off pieces of the house next to it. They knew before they started to build it, there would be a problem. Poor neighbors will have to hear screaming and music at least 3 x's a week. The city is full of crap for approving this and the house on the right should sue.
