The sinkhole was caused by a break in the sewer line on 6th Avenue and 68th Street this morning.
This happened near a fire hydrant, so no cars fell into the hole.
Channel 1 News shared this view tonight:
Some Bay Ridge residents do not have water or electricity! Temporary water service is being provided to some homes they were lugging large buckets to their homes.

The 68th Precinct sent out a message in the morning to update the community about the sinkhole (get on their list if you aren’t on it already).
Around noon, Councilman Brannan gave this update.
Some residents said that they saw it sinking for a few days.
