By Jess Wisloski The Brooklyn Papers More than 200 residents of Brook- lyn Heights and Downtown were left without telephone service Friday and Saturday after a construction crew working on the nearly completed Court House apartment building knocked out a Verizon relay box. DUMBO-based Two Trees Manage- ment, owned by father-and-son devel- opment team David and Jed Walentas, is building the 321-unit mixed-income high-rise, which will also include a YMCA and ground-floor retail, on Court Street between Atlantic Avenue and State Street. A 700-space, under- ground parking garage has been in op- eration at the site since September. Around 11 am, on Friday, Jan. 7, con- struction workers excavating the con- crete sidewalk along Court Street also dug up and removed the 4-foot-tall, green, metal box that serves as a junc- tion for telephone customers, said Veri- zon officials. Verizon called police.
