Residents of a charmingly developed Greenpoint block are up in arms (and disembodied chicken parts) over the poultry slaughterhouse smack-dab in the middle of everything that they claim is dirty, smelly, and loud. The horror!
“It’s dirty, there’s always feathers flying around, and there’s a nasty smelling liquid that leaks out occasionally,” one resident told The Brooklyn Paper about New Lee's Live Poultry Market, before adding that his broker "glossed over" the slaughterhouse when he first moved to his apartment on Greenpoint Ave. This isn't the first time that tenants of the $675,000 condos on the block and the chicken factory have ruffled each other's feathers, and while a Poultry Market worker hinted that the the slaughterhouse may move elsewhere in Brooklyn over two years ago, it's yet to happen.
Some residents are taking matters into their own hands, breaking their leases early, moving out, and selling their personal possessions to the tune of a "Chickens Are Driving Me CRAZY" yard sale. Oh, Greenpoint: land of a thousand gruesome buildings.
