Since demolition began last spring, large cracks have formed along the wall of a neighboring senior center, where residents shut their windows to block out dust.
A pediatric health center has already moved, citing constant noise and ceiling leaks.
Locals are bracing for a yearslong construction process that they fear will become only more disruptive.
The cracks are not a structural threat to the building, according to city officials and the demolition contractor, Gramercy Group Inc., which has said it will repair the damage.
