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.

337 Ocean Parkway, Kensington
(between Beverly Road and Avenue C)
Project Description: None
Project Type: Vacant building
Status: Vacant, decrepit
Background: The Department of Buildings began to issue “Failure to Maintain” violations in 2001 due to broken windows, and the records indicate that this 2 family house has been vacant since 2005. The district is landmarked. There have been complaints that the building is unguarded and open, and that there have been squatters, but the DOB reports that it is sealed.
