Blogger Sail Brooklyn marks the beginning of the third week of demo at 207 Wyckoff with a post updating us all on the progress. “The majority of the wall that is adjacent to the parking lot has been removed and about one story of the wall that abuts 209 Wyckoff has to come down,” he writes. “On Friday, Russo brought in the heavy machinery (I think its a materials handler), which resembles a man-made, yellow dinosaur, to start hauling out the 10-foot pile of debris out of the site.”
Any neighbors out there? What’s the mood on the street?

The mood on the block is happy indeed. Though one month+ later, we realize they screwed up with sidewalks in front of the property when the sealed up the sewer demolition. As a result, they came back, filled in properly, and replaced the old slate sidewalks with poured concrete.
They are tearing down what was left standing after it suddenly collapsed over Labor Day weekend.
I moved off this block about 19 years ago and the block was complaining about that building then. I cannot believe they finally tore it down!
