Barclays implements a new security procedure?

Black Audi was observed to be parked illegally at fire hydrant from ~6:30pm to present (9:50pm). Called in to 311 to be reported to the local police department.

The attached number is for a complaint with DOB I filed Tuesday, but the problem is very bad again right now. The vibrations are shaking the house. To my knowledge no inspector showed up on Tuesday.

My stomach actually felt queasy the other day from the vibrations.

It started at 7am this morning, loud drilling across the street and my entire apartment shaking. The floor, the furniture, the glasses in my cabinet, candles on the walls. It's like having a small earthquake ongoing throughout the day in 30 minute spurts. Can't be good for our buildings infrastructure.

2012-06-21 “Broadcast support area” – was there a revocable consent hearing? Community wasn’t advised.
There was to be a Department of Transportation hearing the community was told, never announced was it, for a petition for a revocable consent to install these cables under 6th Ave BEFORE the work was to start, looks like they’re almost done!

2012-06-21 Isn’t approval needed for Barclays Center parking lot detention tanks before they’re finished? Because they’re basically installed!

The Nets announced yesterday that Jay-Z will open the Brooklyn location of his 40/40 Club in the Barclays Center arena. The announcement states the 9,000-square foot venue will be ready for Jay-Z's opening night concert September 28. AYW estimates the capacity of the venue to be approximately 300 people.

The Brooklyn 40/40 club appears to follow the model of Jay-Z's other locations in Manhattan and Atlantic City. Those locations are open until 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM, respectively. At the Manhattan club, the schedule lists events that begin after 10:00 PM most nights of the week. If the Brooklyn location is covered by the liquor license currently under review by the State Liquor Authority, the Brooklyn location would presumably close at 2:00 AM based on a recent letter from Barclays Center's attorney to CB6.

40/40 Clubs in Atlantic City and Manhattan prominently feature bottle service. In recent months, proposals for new restaurants Prime 6 and Kemistry Lounge offering bottle service have found stiff resistance from local neighbors. At its May 2 general meeting, Community Board 6 denied Kemistry's application for a full liquor license. At the same meeting, CB6 granted conditional approval to the Barclays Center application based on representations made by Barclays Center management at an April public meeting that liquor service would end before the fourth quarter of NBA events. Since that time, it has been revealed that the Barclays Center would also operate clubs that will continue to serve alcohol up to one hour after events, as late as 2:00 AM. The 40/40 announcement comes less than a week before the second of two hearings in front of the State Liquor Authority regarding Barclays Center's license.

Resident across from block 1129 where new construction on car park stated, “vibrations are so strong that the ceiling in my home fell down. She called 311 & they would not take the call and resident went to the Atlantic Yards Ombudsman’s office & they said they would have an engineer inspect the damage but no one has showed up & she is scared & wants to know what to do! She also stated that, "the dump trucks on Carlton Ave are adding to vibration problem!"
