Brooklyn Heights neighbors furious over unpermitted work at former LICH property
Fortis sold Willowtown building, but current ownership murky
Neighbors are fuming that the owner of a multifamily building in the Willowtown section of Brooklyn Heights has continued demolition work despite numerous violations reported to the Department of Buildings over more than a month.
Real estate websites have already listed apartments at 43 Columbia Pl., one of the 20 former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) properties bought by developer Fortis Property Group.
Members of the community as well as the Willowtown Association, however, say they have called in numerous complaints about unpermitted work there, and are pushing to have the work halted.
