DUMBO residents worry about ever-present gas leak
DUMBO residents and workers have become increasingly alarmed about a gas leak on Jay Street that has been venting from street grates for months.
The New York City Fire Department has been called to 51 Jay St. nine times over the past year, FDNY spokesperson Frank Dwyer told the Brooklyn Eagle on Wednesday.
“I was in the city the night of the 2nd Avenue explosion,” Doreen Gallo, executive director of the DUMBO Neighborhood Alliance (DNA), told the Eagle. “If there’s gas, we should be diligent in finding the source of the leak.”
