Within the last couple of weeks, large inflatable rats have appeared outside the Corporate and Real Estate Offices of Two Trees Management, which has a huge claim in the commercial and residential spaces in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
Below are personal photos taken and those taken by "McBrooklyn" with an excerpt from a story regarding how the Union is taking aim at Two Trees Management, as they try to remove harmful levels of Asbestos which is extremely dangerous to humans if inhaled.

"The Asbestos Rat Comes to DUMBO's Two Trees"
According to Laborers International Union of North America Local 78, since 2006 New York Insulation and affiliated company Nick’s Insulation (NYI) have been cited at least 110 times for unsafe asbestos abatement by the NYS Department of Labor and dozens more by DEP.
The union filed a lawsuit against the company for failing to pay workers a prevailing wage and overtime, but the company has denied the claims, according to reports.
Whatever the union's beef, according to New York State, New York Insulation has been "debarred and declared ineligible to submit a bid on or be awarded any public work or public building service contract/sub-contract with the state, any municipal corporation or public body in New York State" until 5/16/2017."
