Locked out
The saga of 475 Kent Ave. continues as authorities padlocked the certificate-of-occupancy-less-and-above-a-combustible-matzo-factory apartment building.
Authorities with the FDNY assured us that this was normal procedure that residents would still be permitted 1 hour each day to get their things as long as they filled out some pre-registration paperwork.
Still, residents ain't happy, many of whom have been living with friends and, if they use the building as a studio, unable to work.
"We just hope they don't try to make an example of us," said Lai Ling Jew, who works out of the building."Everybody wants to live in a safe and secure home but our whole lives are there."
