Norwood residents are sounding the alarm over a major leak coming from two vacant buildings in Norwood, leaving sidewalks flooded.
The FDNY says it responded to 241 and 239 East 207th streets just before 11:40 p.m. Thursday. About 18 hours later, water continues to pour from beneath the buildings' doors and out of its vents.
