NYC shuts down work on LICH building after wood blasts across street, damaging windows, car
Squadron: ‘Scary and dangerous’ incident at former Long Island College Hospital site in Brooklyn
It’s just lucky no one was standing across the street, neighbors said.
The New York City Buildings Department slapped a Stop Work Order on a building being redeveloped at the site of the former Long Island College Hospital on Thursday morning after high winds blew plywood and other unsecured construction materials off its roof.
According to the Buildings Department, FDNY rushed to the scene of the former Polhemus Memorial Clinic at 350 Henry St. in Cobble Hill to find that the plywood blew off the roof of the building “hitting building across the street [and] damaging windows, light post and vehicle.”
