Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

I posted DOB scaffolding concerns yesterday 14th street west village and did not call 311 as calling 311 futile.
I called Dept of investigation on DOB and still nothing.
Under Bloomberg how many scaffolding deaths?
Plenty.
That's great!
Somebody could have lost their head!
I walk under too many of these each day and always feel nervous about how they are constructed. These structures is sort of like putting a free standing fence with unattached beams and unattached corrugated metal panels on top - this design is a loose combination of heavy lethal materials that if improperly done will kill or injury potentially many folks!
The company ain't losing any sleep over this.
Minor collateral damage.
Nothing can stop the Cult of Develpment!
Mother nature can!
Even dumb yuppies have wised up to that, in view of the recent weather events.
The most fun is when rusty scaffolding bits end up underneath your collar while you walk under them.
