So, what exactly should those facing after-hours construction do? Well, there's email.... (plus slides from meeting)

This is the fourth of a few posts on the 1/26/21 Quality of Life meeting, sponsored by Empire State Development (ESD) and held virtually. The first concerned postponed weekend railyard work. The second concerned the timing of construction. The third concerned the Barclays Center, including the ability to admit guests at Brooklyn Nets games.

One question I posed:

If a resident near the project believes that there is improper after-hours construction--say, at 6:30 am outside B12/B13--what should they do? Who should they contact at that time?

That was related to an ambiguous incident I described before the meeting.

If a resident believes there's after-hours work, "feel free to send a note to us," said Tobi Jaiyesemi of ESD, which both oversees and shepherds the project. 

That's: AtlanticYards@esd.ny.gov. Messages, at least, for ESD's Atlantic Yards Team, can be left at (212) 803-3736

Both she and Scott Solish of Greenland USA (which owns nearly all of Greenland Forest City Partners, the master developer), also said to contact the developer's Community Liaison Office, which is supposed to have a physical space but is now being operated virtually during the pandemic.

Greenland Forest City Partners Community Liaison Office (CLO): CommunityLiaison@PacificParkBrooklyn.com or 866-923-5315.

Bottom line: no one's ensuring real-time responses except, actually, the Barclays Center, which offers a 24/7 phone number in response to malfunctions of the Arena Oculus: 917-618-6661

Unmentioned: complaints regarding after-hours construction noise can be filed with the city via 311 online or by phone. That doesn't guarantee an immediate response--but it's outside the state-developer loop.
