New Greenpoint concrete plant causing building cracks, pollution, neighbors say
Briefly

A recently opened concrete batch plant in Greenpoint is causing air quality issues, excessive noise, and structural damage in adjacent buildings due to concrete dust and vibrations.
Locals are concerned about the concrete batch plant's impact, citing spikes in unhealthy air quality readings, noise levels over 100 decibels, and cracks in buildings allegedly caused by vibrations.
Despite being in a heavy industry zone, the plant's impacts are unique, triggering city citations for failing to contain dust and improper permits, with a history of environmental violations.
DKN Ready Mix, the plant operator, has been cited multiple times for environmental issues and is working to address complaints, previously facing violations for allowing concrete runoff at another location.
