Recurring sinkhole near Bay Ridge schoolyard has residents wanting permanent fix
It’s the hole that won’t go away.
After a recurring sinkhole next to the playground at P.S. 264, 88th Street and Fourth Avenue, began reopening again on Monday, July 30, Ridgeites have reiterated their demand that the problem — which first surfaced late last year — be fixed for good.
“It’s been a reoccurring sinkhole for quite some time,” said District Manager of Community Board 10 Josephine Beckmann, who said the board first heard about the sinkhole on November 30, 2017 and reported it to the city’s Department of Environmental Protection the following day.
