The Hits Keep Coming for John Quadrozzi

We recently heard about how John Quadrozzi was being forced to fix his crumbling house and how "upset" he was about Superfund designation of the Gowanus. In another recent decision that should make everyone but him happy, the City is again making him do the right thing, this time in Red Hook. From the Brooklyn Paper:

"“The wall prevented families from enjoying the alternative recreation that this waterfront vista offers,” said Ludger Balan, a Red Hook resident and founder of the Urban Divers Estuary Conservancy, an environmental advocacy group.

Balan said he is pleased to see most of the wall is down, but complained that support poles remain moored in the ground, perhaps a sign that the structure may one day rise again.

While the view has certainly improved for park-users, Quadrozzi says his own vista is no becoming X-rated.

He claimed that since taking down a controversial wall on his property last winter, trespassers have had a field day — including a bawdy duo caught snapping nude photos."

What John, you didn't distribute the photos in court? I'm disappointed.

  1. I know people always want a view - but this neighborhood is getting a little ridiculous! If you own your property & want to build a wall - that's your business. If you don't like it, buy your own property and don't build a wall. Everyone is moving here because they 'love the neighborhood', as soon as they get here, they try to change it.

  2. Ehhh, yes, but when your wall starts affecting others, it's a different story.

    John doesn't own the water...
