Locals near the DKN Ready Mix facility in Greenpoint are facing noise levels exceeding safe limits, vibrations causing structural damages, and cracked walls, sparking concerns about environmental and health hazards.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration allows noise exposure of up to 85 decibels for eight hours a day, but at 100 decibels, it's only considered safe for 15 minutes, raising worries for permanent hearing damage among residents.
The vibrations from operations at the concrete facility are severe enough to scare the two-year-old son of neighbors Jens Rasmussen and Maria Aparo to tears and are causing cracks in the walls of their building. City records confirm structural damages and violations.
