Happy Ending for Henry Street Residents

Residents of Henry and Degraw Congress Streets should be happy to know that John Quadrozzi (he of dubious Superfund critique) will be fixing his crumbing house. From the Daily News:

"Henry St. homeowner John Quadrozzi must make immediate repairs to the badly cracked walls of the 1852 brownstone as part of an agreement made with city officials in Brooklyn Supreme Court last Friday.

"[Buildings Department] engineers found that the owner's repeated failure to maintain these buildings created a hazard to the public and an eyesore for the neighborhood," said Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri in a statement.

A round of cosmetic repairs, such as plugging holes in the carriage house roof, will begin later this year."

I'm just happy that the scaffolding will come down at some point!
