"Mr. Boymelgreen is also facing criticism from residents of earlier projects. Gus Sheha of 402 Main Street, a 20-unit Boymelgreen building in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood, said residents have spent $250,000 on repairs since 2003 — including work to connect the building’s waste line to the city’s so that sewage would stop flowing into the street.
