Corner of 4th ave and 16th Street
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!

I don't know what is planned as far as development at that site however the conditions you described definitely are a quality of life issue and warrant a call to 311.

Garbage piled up like that is certainly a violation. Not just a quality of life issue - they're simply breaking the law by not cleaning and maintaining their property properly. Call 'em in to 311. You could also contact your local city council person by letter, asking them to do something about it.

Update - Called 311 last week. Just walked by the site this morning and saw DOS crew cleaning up the site.
Cant beleive that actually works...
Thanks!
