Protesters were camped outside 2134 Coyle St. - a development initially proposed as affordable housing but now set to be a homeless shelter.
Protesters made their way to Brooklyn Supreme Court after court documents filed by the property owner's lawyer claim opposers have taken it too far.
They alleged that protesters are blocking entrances for demolition to begin.
Neighbors feel their opinions are being left in the dark. They tell News 12 they care about public safety and transparency.
"My main concern is that to date, we're hearing many different variations of what's going to happen. Who are the people that are coming, how are they being vetted?" said Burt Fajardo, a concerned resident.
2134 Coyle St. is set to be transitional housing for women and children and expected to be complete by May 2027.
The judge ordered that protesters allow demolition to begin, and the defense has 30 days to collect opposing arguments.
