Evening Work Starting On PS 139, Will Last Through October 2014

Neighbors near PS 139 (330 Rugby Rd) received this letter today announcing an exterior modification project starting at there by the School Construction Authority. The work, which will include “replacing parapets, certain sections of the roof and recaulking windows and doors in the building” will occur weekday evenings and is expected to be complete by October 2014. There’s no start date mentioned.

The Department of Buildings requires builders to apply for an after-hours variance, which this project has, if work takes place on weekdays after 6pm. According to the city’s noise code guide, “A noise mitigation plan must be in place before any authorization is granted.”

We’ve reached out to project support manager Steve Gonzalez for additional info about the work, including when it will begin, and what noise there might be and what plans they have to mitigate it, and will let you know what we hear. If you live nearby and have questions, you can direct them to Steve at 347-539-0157.
