Brooklyn, NY - Warehouse Owners To Be Arraigned On Charges Of Neglect
Brooklyn, NY - The owners of the Greenpoint warehouse that went up in flames last month are due to be arraigned Friday on charges they neglected the historical waterfront property.
Joshua Guttman and his son Jack are charged with hundreds of counts of failure to maintain the Greenpoint terminal market. The two face up to $5,000 in fines for each misdemeanor, or more than $2 million total.
A homeless man, Leszek Kuczera, 59, is accused of setting the May 2nd fire that destroyed the seven warehouses. Police say he had been burning insulation off copper wiring from the buildings to sell as scrap. He has been charged with arson and burglary.
Police are still searching for another person wanted in connection with the fire.
