Did you even stop to think that perhaps they might be repairing their own vehicles which is not illegal and for whatever reason may be the only way they can afford to fix their vehicles!

actually i had considered that but if you checked out the ordinance it is illeagal to perform any repairs other than a emergency repair such as a flat tire.additionally if they were dumping contaminants such as oil, antifreeze,brake cleaner or what ever else they decided to dump next to your property.youd be complainning.

To anonymous: And who is to determine what is an emergency repair? I had trouble with my car which turned out to be an issue with the gas tank and injectors, and considering it broke down right near my house i had it towed back here and did the emergency repairs myself especially since i could not afford to pay someone to fix it! To be honest if someone had come to my house and told me i could not do the repairs i would have told you to get off my property as you were trespassing.

that isnt considered a emergency repair,and your not supposed to perform those repairs in your yard especially because of contaminates.you wouldnt have a choice if the building department came and instructed you to stop you would have to comply or face what ever the consiquences are from the building department.if it were ignored they can attache fines to your property tax as a way to collect

Well lets put it to you this way ! I have no money to pay anyone to fix my car so unless someone else ( you perhaps) was willing to pay a auto repair shop to do the repairs than my only choice is to fix it myself in my yard!

To MikeL - It seems as though you have enough money to buy internet access, why don't you have money to fix your car??

William Did it ever occur to you that all library's have computers with internet access and that i am using one of them?

no not isnt it resolved but they seem to be building a shed now with blue tarps and adding electricty to it too.should anyone remind them of the structure fire in march where the owners were heating a cat den with a light bulb and burned the house down killing 1 resident.Or are we just going to turn another blinds eye to stuff that would normally not concern us.untill something happens.seems like the same old same old arround here.

I don't believe this-- I know of aone auto place on Old Flatbush--Who has this place you are talking about? Maybe you should tell the Planning Board at Town Hall...

Why would I report it to the planning board. They have no authority

Seems the logical thing to do if someone is building something without a permit however in looking at your photo it is hard to say as the picture is way too small. Doesn't a person have the right to change their own oil , spark plugs and the like and maybe even help a friend... I would if I were a tad younger. Cost a lot to go to a garage these days.

Well acually there is a local law preventing repaires from being preformed. Specifically for those reasons. Registered repairshops are under strict rules for waste disposal along with garanty of repairs.

now it seems as if they constructed 2 sheds out of blue tarps and installed lighting on them as well.we know all to well that is a DANGEROUS scenario in the wake of the garden st fire when the owner was heating a blue tarp structure to keep cats warm.she wound up burrning down her house and heaely damaging the next door house,in the process KILLING her husband.

the place continues to have more trafic than normal trafic for being an apartment complex.there is an abunance of tires,and trash which make it apear to be a DUMP.with little children playing arround this .i cant imagine why something hasnt been done already.

Give me the exact address I may know someone that can help. I only know of one repair place on Old Flatbush and it is licensed!

as serious as haveing an unregistered repair shop can be with hazzards such as antifreeze spills and oil spills.getting into the ground and subsequent water supply.now this unregistered repair shop is preforming body repairs ,spraying paint with no respirator.so now its getting really concerning because i have to breath that and noone has done anything about it AT ALL.there is even a little child playing nearby.what a travisty

it continues to happen.doesnt look like anything has been done.typical of the city not enforcing codes .constinly looks like a dump with tires oil drain pans laying all over .the litter is ridiculas.pigsty
all residents welfare resipiants,if they can fix cars to make money on the side social services should cut them off

listen to how taxpayers have to bicker back and forth, where is the DEC , or small business bureau to see if this is a licensed business...... It says clix- fix is seen by people of authority, elected officials, etc.... where are they??????? collecting their paychecks and not reading your clix- fixes....im really sorry our soceity and our area has become what it has, i had my own problems and it all comes down to our officials do nothing, you have to get a lawyer and you b etter have money..... all our biggies around here know this , smile at you , get your vote, your taxpayer salary money, and then your on your own...all these clix - fixes , all these officials and their paid workers how ,long would it take to resolve at least half of these and then work on the other half.. shame , shame on us believing and the biggies doing what they dont do....
