After a years-long process, the NuHart Superfund Site at 65-75 Dupont Street completed remediation and is now home to Greenpoint Central, a new luxury rental development. Now, a brownfield right around the block at 29 Clay Street is just beginning clean-up efforts—and it looks like they’re going to be extensive. But some community leaders are skeptical that the proposed remediation will go far enough.

  1. As usual, your lack of knowledge about Greenpoint ceases to amaze me. It’s not NuHart, it’s Harte & Co. The Harte & Co. building was completed in 1952. Prior to 1952, there were wood-framed houses occupying the lots from 63-93 Dupont Street. Also, Harte & Co. and NuHart are to separate and unassociated companies. NuHart took over the facility in 1983, after Harte & Co. ceased operations in Greenpoint, and itself ceased operations in 2004.

    1. Nobody’s perfect. Without the Greenpointers very few people would have known about this and countless other things going on in the area including new retail places.

      Educate. Correct the mistakes and move on. The Greenpointers does not have the staff or the money like The NY Times to super proof and research everything down to the last detail.

      Ironically, the lore I heard and I could be wrong was that they was a local woman named Irene who fought tooth and nail to prevent NuHart or whatever you want to call them from expanding to the next block.

      She won but shortly thereafter the place went belly up and became an eye sore for many years.
