I live across the street from this place and it's not a matter of "NIMBY B.S." considering my "backyard" is an industrial wasteland. My issue is with De Blasio's office claiming they notified everyone in the area about what was going on. That's where I call B.S. Since it's across the street from a park and next door to a daycare center, the community should be notified when 125,000 square feet of asbestos is being removed (nope, not the same as taking it out of a homeowner's basement or roof). If this occurred near Carroll Park, you can bet De Blasio's office would have made sure everyone was notified. If not, there would have been riots in the street.
