Queens' local sport is shitty landlords and real estate moguls putting up slipshod buildings and/or half assed repairs. Not surprised. Calling 311 is a joke.

@Threemoons this kind of fuckup during what happened in Miami? That may cost them

And this is what happens when you put profits over life! This is what unfortunately happens to illegal immigrants. They go NON UNION because it’s where they can work for cash. The problem is the owner always takes advantage of them in many ways ( unsafe work conditions, late on their “checks”, work in the rain on steel etc. ) keep allowing city council to pass laws that allow these developers to find loop holes to get top dollar government funding, only to hire untrained, unskilled workers and this will continue to happen! It’s all fun and games till that crane lands next door and kills an innocent. FUCK GREEDY DEVELOPERS!
