At around 8 a.m. on December 29, less than three weeks afte receiving a stop-work order for illegal demolition, another crane showed up at the former carriage house at 528 Bergen Street to finish the job despite the lack of a permit. After the activity was called in by a resident at 534 Bergen, DEP and DOB showed up and stopped work again. According to Property Shark, the model citizen who owns, and illegally demolished, 528 Bergen is Carl Merola of 388 Little Clove Road in Staten Island. What a guy.
