If you remember… about two weeks ago there was a large wind storm in Brooklyn, 3 people died as a result of the wind that day.
As a result a lot of the construction fences all over the city were damaged. These plywood fences are basically gigantic sails when it comes to dealing with wind. So when they were also knocked down at the Riviera Suites at Knapp Street, it was not a big deal, it could be assumed it would be fixed in time., but they haven’t and its a hazard now.
The Department of Buildings did promise Gerritsen Beach that the property would be closely watched. The DOB also told the community that before any construction started that Riviera Suites would not need a construction fence while construction was not going on, but that was last year. Since then mounds of dirt has been moved in, foundation poured, people throwing garbage over the fence, and now it looks like the existing chain link fence is being held together with hopes and dreams. Its generally not a safe area to drive or walk by. Especially in any type of wind.
Its very obvious that SSJ Development and Stephen Jemal don’t care. It might be everyone involved SSJ Development, Steven Jemal, and his investment companies are still wrapped up in court over Stephen Jemal failing to repay a loan to his investment companies over the SSJ Developments.
Either way, the blown down fence is a hazard and is now become more of a hazard to Knapp Street. So please fix it.
This was something I was warned the Property Owners Association about over a year ago. This location along with one in the Beach and one in Bergen Beach are, I believe, owned by the same person or corporation. This along with many other unsightly building sites throughout the city must be addressed by our city leaders. A major undertaking is necessary by the city to correct an unsightly, and in many cases, dangerous situation we as property owners will have to endure. It may be necessary for the city to come in and do necessary repairs to ensure the health and safety
of the surrounding community. The city could later pursue the owners of the properties by fining them or putting a lien on their properties and last resort auction off their property for failure to pay summonses. If nothing is done this situation will only get worse.

They should fix this soon – there was a construction site years ago on Cyrus & Beacon and all the plywood fencing was blown down and left there for weeks – my son wound up getting hurt there and required surgery on a broken thumb – it could have been a lot worse, and they’d better take care of it before someone gets hurt there.

If they can’t even maintain a decent fence, one can only imagine what the buildings there would have been like. Thankfully, it looks like that will never happen. Whatever the reason.
