We’ve just received word that the DOB has revoked the building permit for 614 7th Avenue. Located at 23rd Street in Greenwood Heights, the 70-foot tall Scarano project received attention earlier this year for blocking Lady Minerva’s views of the Statue of Liberty. We also received an email telling us that another worker was killed on a Scarano site yesterday–this one at 207 South 1st Street in Williamsburg–but have been unable to confirm. Anyone know anything?
Update: NYT reported yesterday that Heng Zheng, 50, fell to his death while placing cinderblocks on the third floor of the residential development.
