20 Henry Street Gets Emergency Roof Repair

Last week, we noticed roofers at work at 20 Henry Street, the former Peaks Mason
Mints building in Brooklyn Heights, but couldn’t figure out why they were there; after all, last we heard, the condo conversion project designed by H. Thomas O’Hara was frozen in April by lawsuits and a lack of money. The Brooklyn Eagle reports that a protective tarp used to cover a large hole in the roof, but that tarp “blew apart” in February, and rain has been pouring into the building ever since. A review of DOB filings reveals that the developer received permission on July 23 to perform emergency roof repair. GMAP
