Ratner demolition goes to court
Brooklyn Papers:
On Wednesday, a coalition of Brooklyn block associations and landowners sued the developer and the state Economic Development Corporation, alleging that the state had no right to allow Ratner to demolish six buildings within the project’s footprint while his plans are still under environmental review — essentially, beginning work on the 24-acre development before officials approved it.“We believe that the demolition of the buildings before the completion of the [environmental review] process is a violation of the law,” said Jeff Baker, attorney for the plaintiffs.
