The historic former American Stock Exchange in Manhattan is raining potentially deadly debris on the street — earning its billionaire owner a criminal summons over its lame sidewalk shed, according to the city.
The unsightly, ineffective sidewalk shed at the landmarked 15-story site at 86 Trinity Place was erected in late 2017 while repairs were being made to the building’s façade, a city Department of Buildings rep said.
Eight years later, the green-painted eyesore remains — and “the owner has not made meaningful progress toward repairs” including so much as filing the proper façade-repair paperwork, the agency said.
The site — owned by mega-wealthy entrepreneur Ron Burkle’s Yucaipa Companies — remains in a “state of dangerous disrepair,’’ the DOB said. 6
