Landlord could face criminal summons for construction violations at Red Hook warehouse
Activists are fighting the S.W. Bowne Grain Storehouse's demolition
The city Buildings Department might slap the landlord of a historic Red Hook building with a criminal court summons for ignoring its directives.
The agency “has issued several violations to the building owner already for failure to comply with a DOB-issued Stop Work Order,” DOB spokesperson Andrew Rudansky told the Brooklyn Eagle about the Chetrit Group, which owns the S.W. Bowne Grain Storehouse.
“If the property owner continues to disregard DOB orders, we may take enhanced enforcement actions, including possibly issuing a criminal court summons,” Rudansky said.
