Crane Company Sketchiness at Northside Piers?


A Daily News article reveals that a crane at Northside Piers is operated by a company with questionable licenses:
Even after the indictment of Nu-Way and its owner, Michael Sackaris, two of the company's machines are set up in the city, a tower crane at 164 Kent Ave. on the Brooklyn waterfront, and a mobile crane at 250 E. 49th St. in Manhattan.
The site apparently has a stop work order on it related to the crane. Anyone have more information about this?
