We need to make these sites into assets for the community. Many of these developments are causing real hazards for their neighbors, with fences falling down on sidewalks, loose construction debris that can become deadly in high winds, and unsecured sites that are dangerous for children and an invitation to squatting.
Help the effort to convert local blight to community benefit by providing feedback and tracking the progress of each site.
Leave comments below on a individual site to update us on the conditions. If you call 311 about an issue, please leave a complaint number in the comment.

150 East 2nd Street, Windsor Terrace
(between Greenwood Avenue & Fort Hamilton Parkway)
Project Type: New building
Project Description: New 3 story 5 unit building
Status: Stalled construction site
UPDATE 1/27/2010: Site found safe; previous fence issues resolved
Background: the project was initiated in September 2007. Excavation was undertaken and part of the foundation was built. The site was declared stalled in July 2009. The fence was damaged, but when the inspector arrived it was in the process of being fixed and no violation was issued. Permits are current and although an inspection on 1/29/2010 indicated that the excavation has not been backfilled and the foundation walls are unbraced, a new fence is in place and the site is clean and secure (DOB: “No immediate threat”).

1218 Prospect Avenue, Windsor Terrace
(between Vanderbilt Street and Reeve Place)
Project Type: New building
Project Description: Construction of a new 4 story 9 unit building
Status: Proceeding
Background: Started in 2008, this project has received violations and Stop Work Orders but was not declared stalled. Problems included a failure to undertake the demolition in a safe and systematic manner, failure to safeguard the public, water damage caused to an adjacent building, and lack of guardrails. A Stop Work Order was issued in November because expired permits were posted, but permits were being renewed and the SWO was rescinded in December.
