From DNA Info:
The multimillion dollar bathrooms and lifeguard stations placed along city beaches as part of a post-Hurricane Sandy fix have already begun rusting and leaking, DNAinfo New York has learned.
The city spent $105 million to place the 35 modular units, which were designed by Garrison Architects and built by Triton Construction, along beaches on Rockaway Beach, Staten Island and Brooklyn in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
Of the 35 stations, 21 are lifeguard shacks, 10 are public bathrooms and four are used for maintenance and operations, according to the Parks Department.
But while the shacks were intended to be strong enough to withstand the next superstorm, those who have used them say they are already falling apart — including at least one structure that has duct tape securing its railings for the handicapped-accessible ramp.

Lets see New York, that comes to about $15 per every man woman and child in NYC, not so bad huh. Of course how many of that group pay taxes. It's your money the cooked and incompetent politicians are pissing away everyday. Multiply this by every other scheme they come up with.
Anyone with half a brain knows that the ramps to the guard stations and life guard huts have not been built yet.The ramps used now are temporary scaffold and the duct tape is most likely covering a sharp edge that the half wits would have cut themselves.
Why aren't they built yet and why are the materials sitting there waiting to be looted?
China trade baby
Simple answer - NYC government has grown so large that it can't be managed anymore.
Better each of the boroughs need to become independent towns.
Do you really think the Parks Department run by Manhattan folks give a lick about the outer boroughs?
This goes back the days of Mayor Lindsay and will never change.

Union labor who only work two days a week for a 5-hour shift with a 2 hour lunch in between, and everyone on the site saying "im not doing XYZ, thats not in my scope. talk to my shop leader"
Where's the Queens Parks Commissioner????
Thanks for letting the scrappers and looters know where to pick up extra cash.
