Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has backed Success Academy in its increasingly bitter brawl with City Hall over a proposed Bedford-Stuyvesant location.

After initially signing off on the conversion of an existing network elementary school into a middle school, the city later required an educational impact study.

That process would prevent the school from opening by the academic year.

“There are many families needlessly facing uncertainty regarding their children’s school location in the 2018-19 school year,” Adams said in a statement on Thursday.

The city imposed the environmental requirement after a court reversed the closure of PS 25, which shared space with the Success Academy school.

A DOE spokeswoman said officials offered to meet with Success Academy parents but the offers were declined.
