From the latest Construction Update: another crane installation scheduled next weekend at B12/B13 site on Dean Street; after-hours work (6 am start) again omitted

The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning June 14, was circulated yesterday at 10:09 am (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners. 

One change from the previous Update regarding expected work: at the B12/B13 site (615 Dean/595 Dean) on the southeast block of the project, between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues, "West Tower crane set up and installation scheduled for Saturday, June 19, 2021 and Sunday, June 20, 2021. Tower crane will be set up from Pacific Street and access to Pacific Street will be limited due to crane operations." 

Note that an East Tower crane was previously announced to be set up last weekend.

After-hours work contines

Regarding after-hours work at B4 (18 Sixth Ave.), the Construction Update accurately lists weekday work 5 am to 10 pm and Saturday work 9 am to 5 pm. It also lists Sunday work 9 am to 5 pm but there's no after-hours variance yet.

Regarding after-hours work at B15 (662 Pacific St.), the document accurately cites weekday work 6 am to 10 pm and Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 5 pm.

Regarding after-hours work at B12 & B13 (615 Dean St. and 595 Dean St.), the document states "Saturday work will continue during this reporting period." (That includes the crane installation.)

No time is cited, and no variance is yet available, but work 7 am to 3:30 pm took place on several of the Saturdays previous to two weeks ago. 

Another omission

Continuing the pattern from two weeks ago, the document below--see the bottom of the first page--again fails to acknowledge before-hours weekday work at B12/B13, starting at 6 am, as shown in the screenshot above right.

Incompetence? Shameless kowtowing to developers? Both? 

People live in buildings flanking the site, and presumably some of them get the bi-weekly Construction Update. Don't they deserve honesty?
