Sounds like licensing and permits are providing some challanges.

Does RESOLVED mean the permit has been acquired?

I was excited for it, but I have to say the attitude in the other thread was a huge turnoff. Hopefully it's just tensions running high that's the cause of the childish behavior.

At any rate, I don't wish ill will, so I hope this permit business gets resolved and people can get on with their livelihood.

Absolutely. There are so many challenges when you open a place like a Stew is planning and it's easy to get frustrated. I'm more interested in the food and the actual place rather than all the BS.

Does anyone know why there is a stop work order in the window of the new to be restaurant?

The contractor who is removing floor tiles, etc. removed the ceiling gypsum board and tied off the light fixtures, but the fixtures had not been removed and the wires capped when the inspector arrived. Hence the violation.

The work that was being done does not require a permit because it is cosmetic, but the inspector considered the hanging lights to be a safety violation.

We are continuing to work while this gets sorted out.

I'm really happy about how our little restaurant is developing, and especially happy to learn that we are likely to be the subject of an article in a major international magazine. It will be good for us, but more importantly for Jackson Heights.

This is great news! I'm really excited. It's surprising that you got a violation when so many other   stores in Jackson Heights are quite egregious about ignoring building codes and the like. Best of luck and smooth sailing!

Wow, Stew.  This thread has over 11,000 views and the posters here are clearly rooting for you. That represents a lot of potential business.

The gist of hfm's post was positive.  "At any rate, I don't wish ill will, so I hope this permit business gets resolved and people can get on with their livelihood." 

And yet, you suggest not to come.

I have been in the neighborhood a while.

Just an observation, below is the transcript from the DOB and links.

Certainly seems like work that needs to have a permit and some hazardous conditions as well.


WORK W/OUT PERMIT. THERE IS INTERIOR DEMOLITION IN PROGRESS. THE METAL FRAMED CEILING WAS REMOVED, LEAVING THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTING HANGING. THE DUCT WORK WAS REMOVED.

UNAPPROVED UNSAFE ELECTRICAL WIRING. INDOOR FIXTURES USED OUTDOOR. ARMORED CABLE USED OUTDOOR.
