Gased! Bay Ridge residents frustrated by main replacement project in nabe
A major gas main replacement project in Bay Ridge has fanned the flames of angry residents who allege the work has left the neighborhood in complete disarray for far too long.
The work, being done at a hastened pace by gas supplier National Grid in order to comply with new building codes by the end of the year, has generated the most construction-related complaints at the local community board of any project performed by the utility in recent history, according to the district manager fielding them.
“The work on Third Avenue has generated more complaints, by far, than I can recall on any other National Grid project in the neighborhood,” Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann told this paper.
