Bushwick residents say a newly built smokestack has ruined the area’s air quality — but despite their complaints, it continues to pollute the neighborhood.
New York City’s hipster capital has been hit with a problem straight out of a Charles Dickens novel.
“This business just went in and we are getting smoked out,” 37-year-old artist Marie told The Post of the Satmar Matzah Bakery, which recently moved next door to her apartment of 11 years. Following a period of frenzied construction at its new 38 Locust St. location, the bakery fired up its freshly built black chimneys in late January — and quality of life on the block immediately plummeted, Locust Street denizens claim.
Although bad from the start, the situation got distinctly worse after the pallets of wood lining the sidewalk were joined by a “massive” pile of coal around Feb. 17.Courtesy block residents “I had never seen coal in real life before,” Marie said, and soon after it appeared, “it was like the back of my throat was stinging. There was a distinct, like, chemically smell and my dog was sneezing constantly.” She’s found she also now needs to clear her throat more often, but her health concerns shrink in contrast to the exasperation she feels regarding how “awful” the situation is.
