Bruce Ratner was fast — but his most vocal opponent was even faster.
Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn spokesman Daniel Goldstein grabbed his camera seconds after a plywood security wall surrounding one of Ratner’s Dean Street demolition sites collapsed in the wind Sunday night.
Goldstein snapped the picture above — and immediately sent it swirling into the blogosphere.
But as quickly as you can say “Let’s go, Nets!” Ratner’s workmen had repaired the fence.
It blew down again, but by Wednesday, Ratner’s team had installed a safety guard that even Goldstein admitted was “somewhat sturdier.”
A city official, who requested anonymity, was amused by the keen reflexes of both the developer and his chief critic.
But Ratner isn’t laughing. The developer is facing a $2,500 fine from the Department of Buildings for the falling wall.
