MIDLAND BEACH - If you've got a Build It Back horror story to tell, Comptroller Scott Stringer wants to hear it.

Stringer, who has launched a city audit of Build It Back, is coming to Staten Island on Wednesday to hold an oversight hearing on the program and other aspects of Hurricane Sandy recovery.

"The Build It Back program has been an unmitigated disaster," said Stringer. "It's a disgrace that it's been allowed to fester for so long."

The hearing will be held on Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Olympia Activity Center, 1126 Olympia Blvd., Midland Beach. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
