Greco won Landmarks approval in 2024 for a four-story brick home with a stoop and angled façade before selling.
Brodsky, a former investment banker turned developer with 14 Brooklyn projects, has faced citations in recent years: scaffolding collapse at a Gowanus condo in 2019, and a Fort Greene brownstone wall collapse in 2024. Despite the safety record, he secured $9 million in new loans from Midtown lender
