'It was just patched up' Sinkhole in Flatbush reappears after being fixed by the city

In Flatbush, where residents say it's only a matter of time until a car or a person gets hurt by a growing sinkhole. As they told our Greg Thompson, the most frustrating part is the city already had a chance to fix it. He's taking action tonight. What's the old saying? If you don't want to do something twice, then do it right the first time. It was just patched up, and when it decides, okay, today I'm going to cave in, it'll just cave in and it'll swallow somebody with it. Phaedra Manning first called 3-1-1 and posted about a hole at the corner of East 34th and Glenwood earlier this month. Oh, there's a deep hole. Come to the rescue. Almost immediately, it got fixed. Thank you, 3-1-1. Less than two weeks later. Listen, y'all gotta come back. The road was falling apart again. I'm like, absolutely not. Manning says not only is the hole bigger than before, she can literally see it getting worse every day. It's huge. Like now, like, I mean, a lot of people can fall in there. you could be walking and then i'm like it's like Houdini, she's tried calling 3-1-1 and reporting it again but says she's still waiting to hear back i don't want anybody to get hurt enough people are already dying why should we have somebody getting swallowed by a sinkhole while the department of transportation is doing some work on this block sources say that's just resurfacing the road and that anything that was done or still needs to be done with the whole is a responsibility of the department of environmental protection putting a band-aid on it is not going to fix the issue. You have to get to the root of the problem before it turns into something even bigger than it needs to be. The DEP says that a crew will inspect the area and make it safe, but did not give us a timeline. In Flatbush, Brooklyn, Greg Thompson, News 12.
