Ratner Taking Out the Trash

From the Downtown Brooklyn Star:
So far, all they're doing is taking out the trash. But if it's happening inside the proposed footprint of Forest City Ratner's arena and high-rise construction project, even a simple chore becomes complicated and loaded with consequence.In the case of the Samuel Underberg building on the southwest corner of Atlantic and 6th Avenues, removing the interior debris is so critical because it is the first step towards demolition of the mothballed and cobwebbed structure, which in turn could be the first in a series of falling dominoes extending all the way to Vanderbilt Avenue.
