City Says It Made Some Mistakes With A Builder In Brooklyn

The same Brooklyn developer that promised to build housing in Bedford Stuyvesant for teachers and then sold it as luxury condos on the open market has been moving ahead on a similar project a few blocks away on Skillman St., all under the noses of public officials.
The city says it made a mistake in letting construction on Spencer Street go forward and is now refusing to grant certificates of occupancy for the buildings on Skillman St.
What all this has amounted to so far is a lot of losers and only one winner.
