GREENPOINT?A resident of 239 Banker Street, the infamous Sweater Factory lofts, sends word that construction has started in the building, despite expired permits and stop work orders. He writes:
Work restarted this morning: lots of workers all over the building working on apartments. Of particular interest were the bags of cement in the lobby ready to be turned into concrete, and a work permit that expired in July explicitly prohibiting concrete work. So they took down a STOP WORK order to put in an expired work permit that doesn't even permit them to do what they're doing in the building. What a goddamn mess.He also shared the above photos.
