Around Brooklyn: Water main break floods Park Slope
Water main break floods Park Slope
A water main break flooded basements in a row of brownstones in park Slops with up to five feet of water on Tuesday morning. A pipe burst on St. John’s Place near Fifth Avenue around 10 a.m., and firefighters had to cordon off the street for several hours to pump out the water. Residents say the firefighters left the scene around 1 p.m., and the water to nearby homes was turned on again by 2 p.m. “I was in the basement to do laundry, and there was water,” homeowner David Kirschenbaum told the New York Post.
