The old BP gas station on Fifth Street at Fourth Avenue is raising the ire of Park Slopers. The Daily News has the story. Here’s an excerpt:

Residents say the dilapidated site of an old BP service station on Fourth Ave. reeks of oil and gasoline they want cleaned up.

“It’s a smelly example of urban decay,” said Jeremy Friedman, 27, a grad student who lives on Sixth St. near the vacant lot. “I wish somebody would take responsibility for it.”

For more than a decade, the BP service station leaked gas and oil into the ground, said state Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman Maureen Wren.

Now the oil company is on the hook for cleaning it up.

“We’re supervising BP’s cleanup of the site,” she said. “It’s an ongoing project.”

Neighbors say the trouble started in 2008, when Brooklyn-based Tona Development purchased the lot and demolished the BP gas station, releasing noxious fumes from the contaminated soil.

Tona planned to seal the oily ground with a 12-story condo built on a concrete foundation, but the project stalled last year when the developer ran out of money.

“Since then it’s been a stinking empty lot and an eyesore,” said Friedman. “You can smell it for blocks.”

Residents say the lot has stunk worse since the winter, when noxious fumes began wafting from an oily puddle.
