The construction streak of the past few years may be delivering much-needed apartments to a supply challenged city, but some neighborhoods are now on edge.

New buildings around the city are coming under fire for their scale, as residents complain about what these new structures bring: looming shadows, blocked views, new commuters for already overcrowded subways and the loss of longtime landmarks . And, critics add, a single project can be responsible for multiple slights.

One of the latest projects to be touched by controversy is One Clinton, a 134-unit condo in Brooklyn Heights that will start sales this month , represented by the Corcoran Group.

Opponents say that the project, from the Hudson Companies, has done something deeply offensive: bulldoze a library, and a popular one at that, to make way for luxury housing.
