Coney Island Houses is so close to the ocean that it shares one side with the boardwalk. When Superstorm Sandy hit, the cellar spaces of the 5 fourteen-story buildings on site were completely inundated with water, including the site’s central boilers, which failed. The development has been using temporary boilers since then. The recovery and resilience scope is comprehensive and includes: full roof replacement; restoration of damaged playgrounds, surfaces, and fencing; replacement of underground conduits and site lighting; stairwell lighting; replacement of flooded mechanical and electrical equipment with installation in new raised ancillary structures; and full back-up stand-by generator systems to ensure buildings are powered without interruption.
