Goliath Crushes David in Greenwood Heights
Greenwood Heights isn't known as the Wild West of the development world for nothing! A couple of weeks ago, things went badly off track at the site of 227 34th Street, a new seven-unit building squeezing into the lot next to the modest two-story house at 229 34th Street. The offending site was slapped with a Stop Work Order, which is still in effect. The exact offense? "A partial collapse of concrete block parapet wall onto roof of adjacent property causing sever [sic] damage to bldg." The family next door was forced to relocate and, get this, hit with a violation for, we hear, an illegal extension. Ouch! Talk about kicking a man when he's down. If anyone knows more about the details of the accident, please let us know. GMAP
