According to block residents, 670 Bushwick Ave, nicknamed Cook Mansion after one of several famous residents who occupied the building since its construction shortly before the beginning of the 20th century, had been the scene of a lively party until about 12:30, when the deck on the back of the building tore away from the side of the building.
