Treyger says snowstorm exposed lingering Sandy problems in Coney Island
Winter Storm Hercules, meet Superstorm Sandy.
The snowstorm that hit New York City last week exposed a lingering problem that was caused by Superstorm Sandy and has never been properly addressed, according to Councilman Mark Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst), who said he is pushing for a solution.
A temporary boiler installed by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) at the O’Dwyer Houses in Coney Island in the wake of Sandy in 2012 broke down during Hercules, leaving 600 families with no heat or hot water, Treyger said.
