McDONOUGH STREET(between Stuyvesant & Lewis)

Property owners, residents on historic Bedford Stuyvesant brownstone block in uproar over Buildings Dept "hasty" decision, "overnight" Wednesday/Thursday (21), to demolish brownstones. Building's Dept has offered no explanation why they can't be saved, says elderly property owner Ms. Doreen Prince, whose quick-thinking saved lives at 1:00am, Wednesday (20). She is restricted from returning to her house since then, though she keeps vigil outside on the block which as of midnight has not been roped off. And she awaits answers.

Stream of demolition "Vultures" have arrived on site to bid on demolition oppty, says Ms. Prince, but longtime homeowners have not been informed of "why buildings can not be shored and saved. If Buildings are in eminent danger, why aren't streets roped off, and police on scene."

Ms. Prince currently is on the scene keeping watch over buildings 329-331 McDonough Street, Brooklyn (Stuyvesant and Lewis). There are reports that Buildings Dept (360 Adams) set to have hearing at 2p.
