Ratnerville safety hazard update
The wall is still down at 461 and 463 Dean St. and no one has secured the demolition site.
This photo shows the latest conditions of Bruce Ratner's demolition site, where the safety wall blew down not once, but twice. The second time, thankfully, the wall blew in towards the site, unlike yesterday when the wall collapsed onto the sidewalk.
The only safety precautions appear to be two orange cones warning pedestrians of something. [The police cruiser in the photo was passing by and did not stop to take notice of the site.]
A reader has emailed to tell us that the Department of Buildings has been called, but inspectors have not arrived on the scene.
Brooklyn resident and Forest City Ratner Executive VP Bruce Bender has previously stated in the Brooklyn Papers that "Should... a wall collapse on the street, then we would be at fault."
