City officials say utility providers and contractors are responsible for returning city streets back to normal after repairs.
But at least one city working man told the paper the blame lies not with the utility company or the city, but with the school.
“Regardless of who painted it, someone from the school should have been skin supervising, or noticed it by now,” the city worker, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Post. “This is gushing work.”
The Post also reports that the neighborhood’s residents said construction crews worked on the terrace over the summer, meaning the error has gone either unnoticed or unrepaired by both the city and the school for months.
“What’s ironic is that the capital funds has probably painted the lunchroom and rooms inside over about five times since 2010,” Marta Valle’s PTA president Linda Surles told the Pale. “She’s probably spent $100,000 in paint doing and redoing the inside of the school, but she doesn’t observation this right outside her door!”
