Parking lot where child died closed

The city has shuttered an illegal Brooklyn parking lot where a little girl was fatally struck by a car last month.

The Department of Buildings ordered the owners of Bushwick’s Clean City Laundry & Dry Cleaners to remove the painted parking spots from the small lot and install a barricade to prevent cars from entering the empty space.

The order issued Friday came almost two weeks after 4-year-old Luz Gonzalez was killed as a car pulled out of the unlicensed lot.

Luz and her 39-year-old mother were walking along Wyckoff Ave. and Hart St. on June 24 when they both stopped and knelt so the mother could tie the child’s shoe, according to police.

At the same time, the driver of a Nissan Rogue backed out of a parking spot outside the laundromat and drove forward onto Hart St., striking both Luz and her mother, police said.

While barricades lined the lot on Saturday and a memorial to Luz featuring hundreds of candles continued to grow, the shop’s owners vowed to push back against the measures.

“We have not had no problems with the parking lot before,” argued owner Kenneth Liu, 55. “I don’t know what problems they are talking about.”

Liu said he asks customers to back in to the eight spots lining the side of the building, which he feels is safer, and said he hopes he can clear up the issue with the city.

“I have no idea what happened that day,” he said. “I really feel sorry about what happened to the little girl, but now we have to pay for this.”

Surveillance video shows little Luz losing her shoe as she rides a scooter and her mother, 39-year-old mother Reyna Candia, bending over to pick it up seconds before the tragedy.

Both Luz and her mom were taken to Wyckoff Hospital, where Luz was pronounced dead.

Police have not charged 38year-old Jeanette Maria, who sources have said was behind the wheel of the SUV.

“She is completely broken,” a friend of the driver told the Daily News last month.
