A Brooklyn family was forced out of their home after a construction error at a neighboring building put their property at risk. Three generations of the family were given minutes to pack and leave, with City inspectors determining that the neighbor’s home needed to be demolished due to damage from nearby construction. After weeks of uncertainty and displacement, investigative reporter Mahsa Saeidi stayed in touch with the Department of Buildings, ensuring that a professional engineer oversaw the demolition. The process took weeks, but the family was able to return home after 48 days of being displaced. Now, just in time for the holidays, the three generations are together again and relieved to be back in their home. They have taken steps to shore up their wall before construction resumes to protect their property. The family expressed gratitude for the support they received and are looking forward to being able to spend Thanksgiving at home, building more memories. This heartwarming story of resilience and community support showcases the power of perseverance in the face of adversity.
