Apparently undisclosed construction LIRR staging and idling in the early morning and without noise attenuation -- B12 lot
Last night and early this morning LIRR used the B12 site as construction staging and trucks appeared to be using the site to wait. The construction alert states the LIRR work taking place this weekend late at night "will be done inside the yard."
The link to the four minute video here (higher quality video available on request) shows a truck idling for the duration, and the entire lot being used for construction staging. It is filmed at 1 am. https://youtu.be/vmIUpxx0v9A
Smoke from tar boiler is one of many problems Monday; State employee eyes problem
There were multiple problems on Monday morning. A number were associated with an asphalt/tar job at 535 Carlton. This job was unrelated to the removal of the construction fence around 535 Carlton and could have been scheduled at another time.
Dump truck delays fire response

More on late night truck noise on Dean and Pacific
Here is a report from the same resident who forwarded the information that formed the catalyst for the closed/resolved AYW incident report #http://www.atlanticyardswatch.net/node/1798.
No information provided by State or City about emergency water shut off
I came home to the attached notice that the water had been shut off in my house (and all buildings) on Dean Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt. My ill housemate had come home before me and spent some time trying to figure out what was going on. He was afraid to turn on the heat or water. He had already called 311 without success.
Dean Street jammed with cars; Noise from traffic increased by wall; Carlton Avenue closed without notice
Carlton Avenue was closed without notice last night and as a result Dean Street was turned into a traffic jam. It is now a regular occurrence that Dean Street from Carlton to Vanderbilt is jammed.
At some points in the week the movement across Vanderbilt Avenue on Dean Street is failed as an intersection because cars take minutes to get through the intersection.

Concrete delivery blocks Dean/Vanderbilt intersection; information about work couldn't be more limited
A large delivery of concrete was made to the 550 Vanderbilt site using an entrance to the site in the Dean/Vanderbilt intersection rather than the Pacific Street entrance. To use the entrance the trucks had to be backed through the gate, requiring the closure of the Vanderbilt/Dean intersection with the use of flaggers. A concrete truck was also witnessed entering the Pacific Street entrance from Vanderbilt via the north bound traffic lane.
