From Curbed: New Willliamsburg Condos to Offer Free Oil?

Related, from Bad Advice: "Luxury Condos" or Toxic Death Dump?

Some funny writing about an unfunny topic: unscrupulous real estate developers building on environmentally suspect sites and then lying about it to buyers and renters. The New York metro area feels as lawless as the Wild West when it comes to property issues. Unlimited freedom to screw up: as when the guy next door dug down ten feet to add a basement apartment to his building and collapsed my downstairs neighbor's back yard.
