The green scaffolding that was erected seven years ago and still covers the tower of Station Square Apartments at the Forest Hills Long Island Rail Road stop is set to come down this year. Martin Restituyo, president of the apartments’ co-op board, said there is finally enough money in the board’s coffers to make all the required repairs to the exterior and remove the scaffolding.
