Despite what you may be thinking, this is not a new house. I know, I know. It looks like the old house was torn down and a brand new one was built behind what's left of it. But your eyes are fooling you, as did mine, for the Department of Buildings issued an alteration permit for this place at 35-19 215th Street in Bayside. Not only that, but their inspectors found that work was being done in accordance with approved plans. I hope that those of you, like me, who thought you knew how to spot a new building have now learned a valuable lesson. —QC
