We hear that things are getting nasty on 39th Street in Sunset Park where a contractor has enraged an entire block of residents and the conduct of two DOB inspectors has spurred one neighboring family to file a complaint with the Department of Investigation. The ugliness stems from the construction of a new three-story warehouse at 551 39th Street which got off to a bad start when the contractor tore down the elderly neighbor’s fence without permission. We’re a little foggy on the details and chronology of what happened next, but, according to their story and photos presented at recent Community Board 7 meetings, it allegedly involved the police, lots of 311 calls, and a suspiciously high level of cooperation between said buildings inspectors and the contractor/developer in question. There’s now a petition floating around and, so far, DOB seems to be taking a hands-off approach to what they see as a he-said-she-said dispute. Maybe someone who lives in the area or was at the CB meetings can help fill in the details. GMAP P*Shark DOB
