Can you please let me know what the update on this is? I was thinking of looking to move into 99 Gold Street with my husband and young child. Please let me know what is the present day situation.
Thank you.

Also, some units at 20 Jay St were broken into a few days ago.

I was wondering why the increased police presence lately. I guess this answers it.

The car window smasher is back! My car’s window was smashed on Adams Street On sat in daylight. Police say it’s happening more and more around DUMBO again

Question: was it just my imagination or did anyone else hear loud gunfire around 5:30 this morning 3/7? It continued intermittenly for about half an hour–obviously the same gun. Sounded as though it was coming from the area of Gold and York Streets.

If you don’t feel comfortable calling 911, call the precinct directly. Their contact info is at http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/precincts/precinct_084.shtml

I live on the first floor, opposite side of that green astroturf-y wall, and let me tell you: Pollution aside, I’m DREADING the erection (he he, I said “erection”) of this bldg that will soon turn my apt space (and surely others) into a dim-lit dungeon.

Alas.

The easy thing to do is hop the fence and pour a mixture of sand and sugar in the gas tank. Those generators won’t be working for a while.

I agree with LS. It helps to have a measurable CO level to state your case to 311 or the firemen. Also, if they are doing work during off hours, you should call 311 every time. The city investigates each 311 case called, even if it takes a few days for an officer to show up. Good luck.

Unfortunately, your only hope is to put your CO detectors near your windows and hope they go off. If they do, call 911. I had a similar problem with a parking lot next to me with refrigeration trucks running their engines all night. I discovered there is no intermediate step between 311, (wait a week for someone to show up) and 911 (immediate response). Firemen like to throw their weight around. They’ll measure the CO and probably find not a significant amount but then go down and “suggest” that the contractor move his generators. In my case they actually broke into 2 trucks and turned them off. My favorite kind of justice!
