NYC Officials Issue Vacate Orders After Chaos Erupts in Brooklyn Synagogue Over Secret Tunnel

NYC Officials Issue Vacate Orders After Chaos Erupts in Brooklyn Synagogue Over Secret Tunnel

Chaos erupted in New York as officials discovered a secret “underground tunnel” built by some men. They constructed this tunnel and connected it to a Chabad synagogue complex in Brooklyn without the proper permission from authorities. 

How did they find out? Police said they responded to 911 calls of a disorderly group outside the headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights on a Monday night early in January. According to the calls, a group of individuals “unlawfully entered 770 Eastern Parkway by damaging a wall.”

The synagogue tried to repair the wall, but the men who constructed it illegally tried to stop it. There are several video shots to this effect. Witnesses made videos showing police confronting these men standing within a space inside a brick wall. The others tossed desks at the officers while they were trying to reason with them. 

Therefore, they had no choice but to handcuff some of the men and arrest them. They arrested nine men, all between the ages of 19 and 22, on criminal mischief and reckless endangerment charges. The officials also closed the synagogue temporarily to be able to review the structural integrity of the building properly.

According to the results of an “extensive investigation” by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB), they found out that those men excavated the tunnel illegally under a single-story extension located behind the four-story buildings at 784 and 786 Eastern Parkway. 

Furthermore, the reports show that the tunnel is approximately 60 feet long and 8 feet wide. It also has a ceiling height of 5 feet and connects four neighboring buildings. This includes those at 784 and 786 Eastern Parkway. The DOB also issued a full vacate order to a two-story building at 302 Kingston Avenue, which they connected to the tunnel. 

POLL—Should the Government Implement Stricter Penalties To Combat Retail Theft?

This was due to fire safety concerns after the men removed the fire-rated walls in the cellar and on the first floor. As for the other neighboring structures, they were lucky enough not to feel the impact. 

DOB spokesperson Andrew Rudansky issued a statement, saying, “The safety of our fellow New Yorkers is our highest priority at the Department of Buildings. We will continue to monitor the progress of this emergency stabilization work, and if necessary, we are ready to take additional actions that may be required in the interest of public safety.” 

Surprisingly, the tunnel was completely empty except for dirt, tools, and debris from the workers. According to reports, there were also a couple of wall openings in several areas of the adjacent buildings.

While speaking on the situation, a Chanda spokesperson said it was “deeply painful” for them and the entire Jewish community. However, they are thankful to the NYPD for their help so far. 

“These odious actions will be investigated, and the sanctity of the synagogue will be restored. Our thanks to the NYPD for their professionalism and sensitivity,” the statement concluded.
