Town says Musco Lighting will pay to rebuild West Brombrook poles after faulty installation; special inspections required

Gary Duquesne, commissioner of the Department of Community Development and Conservation, told the Greenburgh Town Board that structural and geotechnical reviews found the West Brombrook light poles had been installed incorrectly and must be deconstructed and reinstalled.

"There were some structural issues, so those poles will have to be taken down," Duquesne said. He told the board the poles will be reinstalled in the same locations and "the project will appear no different than what’s up there now." Duquesne said Musco Lighting, the installer named in the transcript, has accepted responsibility and agreed to cover the costs of removal and reinstallation.

Town staff and consultants said the concrete and rebar had been installed incorrectly in places and that special third‑party inspections will be required: slump tests and concrete PSI verification, rebar inspection, electrical inspection and a building inspection. The town will review and approve the qualifications of third‑party special inspectors provided by the contractor and will coordinate building and parks department staff on site.

Duquesne said the Elmsford Little League lighting schedule remains on track and staff are seeking to complete the corrective work before the season if weather permits; possible reinstallation timing ranged from February to mid‑March depending on weather and contractor availability.

The board was told the town will continue the public‑hearing process; staff said a resolution covering New York State’s required factors for limited immunity will be prepared and provided for board review before any limited‑immunity determination is made.
