When I asked someone what happened, he said a man who lives in the building had "caught anthrax" from animal skins, and the city was sealing off his building as a precaution. That confused me a little, as I thought anthrax was a substance, not a disease. It turns out the sick man has been diagnosed with "inhalation anthrax," probably from using animal skins to create drums. This work in done in a workspace in Brooklyn, not on my block, so I'm not sure why people are piled up here. NY1 has the whole story.
