Bay Ridge homeowners sue city over trash
Residents charge Sanitation Dept. won’t pick up garbage
The residents of Barwell Terrace say the de Blasio administration is trashing them… literally.
Homeowners living on the small, private street in Bay Ridge have filed a court action known as an Article 78 lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against the city over garbage collections, or more specifically, the lack of garbage collections.
The residents charged that their lives are being turned upside down by a sudden shift in policy instituted by the Department of Sanitation of New York (DSNY) that is forcing them to haul their household trash all the way to the corner instead of leaving it in front of their houses as they had been doing for decades.
