Beachfront Neighborhood Burned Out Post-Sandy Still in Rubble
Breezy Point, Queens

Nine months after the fire tore through Breezy Point, a neighborhood of tightly packed homes in New York City, this house is the only one under construction in the burn zone, the swath of homes that went up like tinderboxes during the storm.
