SEE: Brooklyn Borough Prez Takes Air Out Of Skateboarding Session

DOWNTOWN, BROOKLYN — Skateboarders who break the rules at Brooklyn Borough Hall beware — your borough president might be catching up on some weekend work inside.

A large get-together of skateboarders in front of Borough Hall was partially shut down when Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams appeared from inside the building to personally remove ramps the skaters had set up on the steps.

The group of about 20 skaters, which included several professionals, had set up shop around the Borough Hall's plaza Saturday afternoon, according to a Patch reporter who was there.

But when a few skaters started doing stunts off make-shift ramps they set up on the steps, where skating isn't allowed, Adams took it upon himself to go see what was going on, a representative with his office said.

“Plain and simple, this is a matter of safety for the skateboarders themselves as well as for other children and families that utilize the steps and plaza," Communications Director Stefan Ringel said by email.

"When the (borough president) — who at the time was in his office working — looked out the window and discovered that several individuals were constructing ramps off of the steps and utilizing them to perform stunts, he went outside to ask whose property they were."

Ringel said Adams asked the skaters who the ramps belonged to, but nobody could tell him whose they were. Adams then asked a second time and told the skateboarders the ramp is a safety hazard before dragging it away.

The Joralemon Street building is a popular spot for skateboarders and at least a few can be found there most days when the weather is nice, according to local skateboarders.

But, some online forums do acknowledge that they are not technically allowed on all areas outside the building, especially during weekday working hours.

Ringel said that skateboarders are allowed on the plaza around the building, but only should they do so in a way that does not put others at risk. The stairs, though, are off-limits and are marked that way by signs on the columns above the steps.

"Furthermore, they are absolutely encouraged to utilize any of the skate parks around the city if they wish to try more risky maneuvers, provided that they sign a liability waiver and wear proper safety gear," Ringel added. "In fact, the BP has proudly funded the creation of a new skate park in Red Hook that is being designed by local youth.”
