The Gowanus Whole Foods, where construction activity has basically entailed a falling fence that is nailed up again once in a while, has been hit with a (possibly nonsensical) Stop Work Order. It allows the grocer to put up a better fence, but DOB inspectors noted "hazardous conditions" and a "failure to safeguard public & property." Who thinks the grocery will be built and who thinks it will sleep with the Gowanus Canal, uh, fishes? Take the poll. [Brownstoner]
