Ciafone canopy encroaches on tree pit

Here we are at "199 Green Court" in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. That familiar sign indicates that this is a John Ciafone building.
And one of his classic canopies is in full bloom here.
And it's anchored in an interesting location.
That's right, the post likely drills right down into a tree root because the genius decided that the presence of a public street tree pit should not be a deterrent to jazzing up his private property.
This just oozes class!

His wife/sister is/was a big bundler for Mayor Big Slow's campaign for one new york slush fund/501(c)(4)

I hope this is getting reported.

The Canopy provides greater protection from the rain than the tree does...

I have never seen this done before and I'll bet no one else has. The tree pit has been molested by a non-visible concrete pour, a base that the pole is standing on. Must be or the pole will sink with heavy rains.

Does he have a side business in awnings? Perhaps it's a write off .

Definitely something shady with Ciafone's awnings...

JQ LOC, But his antics predate this mayor.

R185, true but now he's emboldened and doing this in plain sight of a mayor who promised transparency and justice for the common people. One would think that this kind of lowlife jackal would be banned from city business or locked up already.

. The DOB was a joke back then and they are bigger whores now under this slob (still out of shape despite his frequent sojourns to the Park Slope Brooklyn Y).

It's LLC, I will overlook your typo for your knowledge of this creep.

Has to be a bit more then what been stated above.
Who does this asshole slob know to get away with all this ballsy & tacky bullshit?

Confused writes: neither 199 Green Street Court (address on the canopy photo) nor 199 Green Court are in the DOB BIS database. What am I not understanding?

"What am I not understanding" ?

It makes no difference what the address or law is. This tasteless slob and his wife have "special friends"
The typo was likely deliberate so the computer cant index it properly.
BTW that tree will be dead soon.

What you need is 20 or so protesters outside his business to embarrass him in public. News people love that shit, bring it out in public where that "bastards that be" cant hide.
