So this is the backyard of our new house. We are currently living in our rental, waiting for construction to be done. We had to remove the illegal one-story addition and deck, and are replacing it with a legal two-story addition and porch. Since the NYC Dept. of Buildings is as slow as me writing a book, it looks as though it will take awhile.

I can see why people do illegal work; it took us four months to get the permits, then the permit expired because of our contractor’s insurance. Now we’re waiting for the newly-issued permits, only the DOB needed proof the illegal addition was removed. So I took pix of stuff that wasn’t there. Oy.

I will update the news when I can, but meanwhile–just don’t ask. Not for awhile.
