"The construction crews didn't have the proper permits to be excavating the property at 2134 Coyle Street when they smashed into the fuel line there on March 11, records show."
"Critics have repeatedly claimed the site is inappropriate for a family shelter because of the property's close proximity to the numerous daycare centers that line Avenue U, as well as the elementary and middle schools just several blocks away."
Construction on a contentious homeless shelter in Brooklyn persists despite accumulating thousands in violations and a partial stop-work order. Local residents express frustration over ongoing work at the site, which has faced safety issues, including striking a live gas line. The construction crews lacked proper permits, leading to significant fines. Neighbors have raised concerns about the shelter's location near schools and daycare centers, arguing it is unsuitable for a family shelter. Complaints have been filed, but investigations found no evidence of illegal work after the stop-work order was issued.
