Houseboat owners get a break from City Council

Who says you can't fight city hall and win.

Houseboat owners who moor off Coney Island have won a bit of a break from the city and won't have to move their vessels right away.

A number of boaters spoke out to council last night including Rhonda Brown who says some of the house boats have been at that location for more than 10 years.

Council has decided to defer any decision on the removal of the house boats.
