Complaints about extended hours work continue, and new sources of construction noise at night and on weekends may be on their way
Atlantic Yards Watch
A wonderful night's sleep, brought to you by the letters F, C and R.
Complaints about late night and after hours construction work continue to reach this website. The video above, (which reached this site indirectly), was filmed at 1:30 am at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Bergen Street.
Complaints about permitted late night work on the project date back to the extended infrastructure work that took place on Dean Street and Flatbush Avenue in 2008 and caused substantial discomfort to many living in the vicinity. The earliest illegal after hours work inside the footprint dates to the spring of 2007, only a short time after work on the project began.
The sources of the complaints relate to an expanding list of types of work scheduled at night and on weekends. The affected residential areas are dispersed throughout the perimeter of the 22 acre project site.
In the meantime, new potential sources of late night noise may soon be added.
