Sometimes developers just make you scratch your head. Case in point, this house at 481 Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood. It looks as though half of a story was added onto the roof of this house, but the explanation is more than meets the eye. The most recently applied for and rejected permits were for a "mezzanine" on the top floor to allow for storage space and an additional bedroom above the roof. Now, in order to capitalize on a "mezzanine" there has to be an existing story above it, which was not the case here. Unfortunately, the construction was done anyway, because in this city, "build first and pay a fine (or don't) if you get caught" is the way to go.
This address has a litany of uncured, unpaid violations.
