Construction defects are becoming the hallmark of the new construction - a podcast by Vince Rocco

At this hour: Construction defects, alleged or otherwise, are a hallmark of any building boom, and the last five years have been no exception. While there are no publicly available numbers on the frequency of such complaints, attorneys say latent defects usually spring up a year or so after buildings open. Many say they are already seeing an uptick, given that construction has been unrelenting since 2012. And they say it’s safe to assume that another wave of lawsuits is about to hit.

Also at this hour: East Village and Greenwich Village residents are demanding that city officials only approve plans for a high-rise tech center if there are also protections put in place to prevent their neighborhood from becoming “midtown south.”
A 21-story commercial building at 124 E. 14th St., where there is currently a P.C. Richard & Son appliance and electronics store, was proposed by the de Blasio administration, as part of the mayor's New York Works initiative.
