Mystery solved. The eyesore of a vehicle featured in the last Berry was parked across the street from Linden Hill Cemetery on Starr Street near Metropolitan Avenue starting in January. Photos posted on social media revealed that the altered double decker European-style bus was non-functional and towed there to be stored for the winter. A public street is not a parking lot, and the monstrous vehicle, which had illegal additions built on it, racked up a bunch of violations. Alicia Vaichunas remembered seeing it parked in Brooklyn on Randolph Street last year while she was searching for the origin of loud music one night. It turns out, it was being used as an after-hours hangout for a club located there. It was about to re-open as an after-hours venue on Starr Street, but JPCA notified the NYPD, DSNY, and Council Member Holden’s office and it was removed before that happened. Unfortunately, the double decker was too tall to fit under the bridge at Woodhaven Blvd and Eliot Avenue, and the top of it, which was made of plywood, was destroyed while being towed. It’s now sitting at the College Point Tow Pound. These party buses have been popping up in our area a lot lately, and we alert the powers that be whenever we spot them. They are a blight on the community, the source of unnecessary noise, and the owner of the one mentioned referred to it as a “fenthouse,” so you can imagine what else was regularly going on inside it.
