Soil testing continues at 2nd Avenue explosion site
Several EVG readers noted the arrival of a Davey Drill on the former site of 119 Second Ave. yesterday... workers were apparently doing some soil testing (or a "'due diligence' subsurface investigation," per olympiasepiriot).
Upon leaving for the day, someone from the crew apparently put up generic-looking "no parking Thursday" signs up here on Seventh Street at Second Avenue... and blocked off part of the street with cones...
An EVG reader who shared these photos believes these are fake NYPD signs ... the one below is from the Dance Parade, which has the NYPD logo and department number on the bottom...
So far there aren't any work new permits on file for work on this property.
As noted in previous posts, there have been reports that landlord Maria Hrynenko, who the DA charged with involuntary manslaughter and other alleged crimes, was poised to sell her now-empty lots at No. 119 and 121. Lawyers have said that a sale could potentially jeopardize the settlements of the victims.
Hrynenko is now claiming in a new lawsuit that her management company was "careless and reckless" in its work that led to the deadly explosion. Investigators have said that an illegal cost-cutting gas delivery system at 121 Second Ave. may have caused the blast that killed two men and injured a few dozen other people as well as destroyed three buildings — 119, 121 and 123 Second Ave.

Fake police signs, hey, why not? That about says it all regarding the quality of those involved in this mess. What a bunch of sleazes. Hope NYPD fines them for fake signs.
I don't often wish ill on others, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if Ms. Hrynenko & co. died in a fire. ('Twould be kind of fitting, y'know?)
There are 4 or 5 fake signs that popped up on E 2ND this week between A and B as well... real signs with handwritten rules in duct tape o the bottom. Some shitty construction scumbag move. I reported these cornballs. If they still there tomorrow I'm cutting em down.
I don't understand why the lawyers cannot attach the property as part of the lawsuit...
