The developers of the Enrique Norten-designed 580 Carroll Street in Park Slope have filed papers with the city in advance of next week’s Board of Standards and Appeals hearing on the variance they’re seeking to build a denser structure than zoning allows. The latest documents from the development team are in response to criticisms from the BSA about the team’s request, and in them they lay out how high cost overruns have allegedly gotten at the site because of what they call “unique” conditions, like “deep underground concrete and masonry chambers” from the old substation on the land. The developers claim that the makeup of these chambers couldn’t have been anticipated before they began excavation, and along with other unexpected hurdles—such as “the
 soil
 under
 the
 neighboring
 buildings
 began
 to
 wash
 out
 and
 soil
 grouting
 had
 to
 be
 introduced
 in
 order
 to
 keep
 the
 soil
 under
 the
 neighboring
 buildings
 stable”—overruns reached $2.86 million. You buying it?
