From the New York Times: “State law forbids developers to physically alter the site of any proposed project until it has been officially approved, but makes an exception for “emergency actions” to guard public safety.”
moufaisbad writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards:
“this was on NY1 today.”
“I love that Ratner is trying to make it seem as if he is demolishing the buildings for ‘public safety.’ If that was actually the case and he was losing sleep over the poor endangered neighborhood, why didn’t he have them demolished last year, since he said that’s when the engineers told him that they were unsafe?”
