Forest City Ratner was given a violation yesterday in connection with a Stop Work Order issued on Saturday at 620 and 622 Pacific Street. DOB found several code violations on site–including a defective safety fence–when it visited the site last weekend after calls from disgruntled neighbors at 624 Pacific. The rent controlled tenants at 624, at least one of whom is a member of DDDB, had filed a civil lawsuit last week over alleged improper usage of a backhoe during demolition work. The Atlantic Yards Report wrote yesterday that the residents would be seeking to file a criminal complaint in upcoming days. As for the violation, the maximum penalty is $2,500 which must really be keeping Bruce up night.
