Bogus No Parking signs at LICH site tick off Cobble Hill residents
'We want our money back!'
Cobble Hill residents have finally had their suspicions confirmed: poorly displayed “no parking” and “no standing signs” that appeared on Henry Street between Amity and Pacific streets in January were illegal, put up by a contractor for Fortis Property Group, which is developing the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH).
After piling up tickets for months, skeptical residents turned to the Cobble Hill Association, which contacted local officials and the Department of Transportation (DOT).
After an inspection by DOT on April 3, the signs, erected by Scala Contracting Company, were removed. Now, however, furious car owners want their money back.
