Brooklyn

Last Thursday, Brooklyn Record ran a piece about earthquake-like conditions on Atlantic Avenue near Nevins. Turns out the source of the saucer-rattling was a huge pile driver at the site of a new HIP building that’s going up on the Northwest corner. Evidently this isn’t the first instance of the project bothering neighbors. David Yassky’s office has been trying to get HIP to hold a community hearing. In addition to the pile driving, area residents are miffed that the health insurer will not be including any ground-floor retail in the building.
