Event Announcement from Bill de Blasio
Join Councilmember Bill de Blasio and Stand up Against Illegal Construction! Wednesday June 4, 2007 In front of Robert Scarano's latest project 360 Smith Street, Brooklyn. What we want: We want Robert Scarano and any other architect, developer or contractor working in this city to know they must be held accountable for their actions. Anyone who violates zoning codes, building codes and practices unsafe construction is not wanted in our neighborhood! The New York City Department of Buildings has already relieved Scarano of his self-certification. Now we are calling on the New York State Department of Education to strip Robert Scarano of his architecture license. Power in Numbers! We must show that we will no longer tolerate this abuse! Councilmember Bill de Blasio 2907 Ft. Hamilton Parkway (718) 854-9791 deblasio@council.nyc
It's definitely interesting for Councilmember de Blasio to want developers accountable for their actions while supporting Atlantic Yards. Instead of responsible oversight for the Atlantic Yards development, de Blasio suggests that everything can be solved if there was just a "common meeting table." Perhaps de Blasio has a different definition of "unsafe construction."
