I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on at this huge empty lot on the corner of 4th avenue and 16th street in Gowanus/South Slope.

I walk by everyday and the site seems to be deteriorating daily with garbage piling up, the wood barracade collapsing, etc.

Anyone know if there are development plans in the works? Also, do you think this is 311-type offense I can call and complain to have the department of sanitation clean this spot up a bit? Its becoming an obstacle to weave around the mound of trash and carboard boxes piling up over there.

Thanks!
