As you can see there are seven cement trucks lined up on Independence Avenue stretching from West 238th Street down the block to the Riverdale Jewish Center. Why these seven trucks are lined up when it was said to Community Board 8 that the contractor would work with the neighborhood and not do this, one has to ask the CB 8 Land Use Chair Mr. Charles Moerdler that.
Above - The permit says that there must be 15 feet clearance from the fire hydrant. This looks like only 5 feet, and the site supervisor starts walking towards me wanting to know what I am doing. I told him taking this photo so I can put it up on my blog and sending it to DOT to show that there continues to be violations at this work site, and the permit should be revoked. By the way West 238th street was not one of the streets in the area that were milled.. The street is in the condition it is due to the heavy construction and cement trucks using it to access the tiny construction site.
Below - A moving truck is backing in to 3777 Independence Avenue, and with all the cement trucks parked waiting to unload, the street becomes a safety hazard for several minutes with no place for emergency vehicles to go. Hatzolah Ambulances are stationed around the corner on West 239th Street, with two schools and three synagogues within a few blocks.
