That Them There House Is A Whore House!

Neighbors are shocked to discover that the place across the street with scantily clad Korean women is actually a brothel:

According to sources in the Queens’ Vice Detective Squad, the corner house located at 151-04 Bayside Ave. had been rented and used by a prostitution ring for the past month, where Korean women with little or no English proficiency were selling their bodies for sexual returns.

. . .

According to neighbors, the house had been a regular evening destination for male patrons, who could be seen parking their cars nearby and walking in through a side entrance. Scantily clad Korean women could also be found exiting cabs and walking into the home from the front entrance.

One neighbor, who asked not to be identified, didn’t believe that prostitution could exist just across the street from where he was tending his garden days before the arrests were made.

On June 7, the neighbor kept watch outside his window after a Tribune reporter asked him if he noticed any abnormal activity.

“When the ballgame is on, I don’t usually look out the window,” said the neighbor. “But this time I did and said, ‘(The Tribune) was right, that’s a whore house.'”

And we all know who the busybody is who ruined it for everyone else:

Days earlier, the Tribune received the tip from a neighbor who would only be identified as Dorothy.

“Once these people moved in, they started business immediately,” said Dorothy.

Sources said there were three “fully operational floors,” with rows of beds lined throughout the house. From front entrance photographs, what could be seen inside was a living room with a cloth draped couch, candles set on a coffee table and at least two surveillance cameras, with one aimed at the home’s front entrance. A separate table showed boxes of cigarettes and packages of KY Personal Lubricant. Two of the women arrested wore aprons with Korean lettering.

“It was set up like a spa,” said a police source.
From the outside, there were drape-covered windows, a fenced-in side yard surrounded by patio furniture and a second story deck. Grounds throughout the property appeared neatly manicured.

“If something like that snuck in, I’m surprised,” said Thomas Feeks, a 50-year nearby resident.
