Now, they\u2019re dealing with a new problem\u2014water pouring out of a manhole. <\/p>\n
It started less than 24 hours after NYC DEP crews said they stopped the ongoing flood from the hydrant, which was just steps away from the manhole. <\/p>\n
People who live in the area say it\u2019s causing them problems when walking around the area, because it has created pools of slush and mud. <\/p>\n
They say they\u2019re worried that the cold temperatures will turn the flooding waters into ice on the streets and sidewalks, creating a major safety hazard. <\/p>\n
Louis Ramos, who owns a building impacted by the floods, said he called 311 about the manhole and did see someone from the city assessing the problem. <\/p>\n
However, hours later the water is still running, and no further action has been taken yet. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have damaged boilers,\u201d said Ramos. \u201cDamaged water heaters. We had 4 feet of water. Mud all over the place, and we haven\u2019t had a response from the city. We don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s asking city officials to restore the sidewalk damaged in front of his building and to offer some guidance on the next steps for his tenants. <\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, I have tenants that are staying with family because they have no heat,\u201d said Ramos. \u201cI’m changing water heaters so that at least they can have hot water.\u201d<\/p>\n
