Blogo coverage of bizarro lawsuit
In the bizarro world of big time real estate development, there are no conflicts of interest and the developer always speaks the truth.
Meanwhile, in the Blogosphere:
OnNYTurf covers the suit in, "Brooklyn Community Groups File Suit to Block Ratner Destruction Plan " and "Brooklyn Groups Ask Court to Remove State Lawfirm from Atlantic Yards Process ".
TimesRatnerReport reviews the coverage, reflects on the delay in FCR's actions and is the only place you're going to find out what an independent engineer said about the properties under threat of demolition:
Based upon that review I cannot conclude that the buildings pose an imminent threat to public safety. Any defects to the buildings or threats to public safety appear to be consistent with conditions found at countless other buildings in New York City. Such defects can be safely stabilized with commonly-used repair measures.
