De Blasio is embroiled in a pitched battle with infamous New York City architect Robert Scarano, who is currently the subject of a number of special investigations.Scarano is now designing a controversial multi-story building at 360 Smith Street in Carroll Gardens. The councilman wants to revoke Scarano’s architectural license in hopes of stopping construction.
But members of the Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association have criticized de Blasio himself for not vigorously supporting their plan to rezone the community against further overdevelopment.
Others are angry with de Blasio’s stance on the Atlantic Yards project.
