""This has been going on since last year June," Gayeth told reporters, while Dryck added, "If it's not feces then it's tampons, it's toilet tissue," describing raw sewage and waste inside the restaurant."
"The Alleynes say they poured thousands of dollars into renovating the space, only to see flooding, mold and nightly rats wipe out weeks of business at a time."
"The Department of Buildings told News 12 Brooklyn it issued a violation to the landlord over the sewage issue in early April and that a monetary penalty could follow."
GG's House of Cookup, a Caribbean restaurant in East Flatbush, has been plagued by sewage backups, flooding, and mold since June of last year. Co-owners Gayeth and Dryck Alleyne report that these issues have created a health hazard, forcing them to mop contaminated water to remain operational. Despite investing in renovations, the problems persist, exacerbated by changes in property management. Customers are frustrated as the restaurant remains temporarily unavailable on delivery apps, while the landlord has not addressed the ongoing issues despite violations issued by the Department of Buildings.
