Air Rights and Cell Towers War in Bay Ridge
The Brooklyn Paper reported yesterday on cellphone towers being installed on the roof of a Bay Ridge Building at 8701 Shore Road, inflaming a neighborhood-wide issue. Some folks have health concerns regarding the antennae, though Verizon says they don’t emit more radiation than a radio. Some residents who helped dissuade the company from installing them on a local school now find them on their very own rooftops. The co-op board apparently approved the installation; good way to make money for the building’s coffers, though clearly not all co-op members agree. One says there was never a vote on the proposed installation at all.
