A Brooklyn judge has issued a temporary restraining order barring the city from opening a new homeless shelter in Crown Heights.

Crown Heights residents argued that their neighborhood already has too many shelters and that the city failed to follow proper procedure in approving a site for this one, on Bergen Street. The judge’s decision maintains the status quo until next week, when another judge will determine whether the case has merit.

“My job now will be to get this next judge to consider that they to do it properly,” said Jacqueline McMickens, who represents the residents. “They did this in stealth.”

The new shelter, which is supposed to house 104 men who are 62 or older, is part of Mayor de Blasio's plan to open 90 new shelters across the city over the next five years.

A city spokesman says they are confident the court will recognize a need for this shelter and that they will be able to open it next week.
