Plaintiff in the lawsuit

Chinatown residents and community groups sued New York City on October 21 over permits that let crews work on the Centre Street jail from 6 a.m. to midnight on weekdays, plus Saturdays and 4 a.m. truck deliveries. The plaintiffs say the site is effectively running around the clock next to senior housing, tenement apartments and small businesses.
