Why are they called mafia blocks?

The term mafia blocks is a self-explaining reference due to the abundance of Italian American concrete suppliers in the Northeast of the United States of America, particularly New York City. The term ‘mafia block’ does not have any direct association with organized crime, but is a colloquial or regional term that has been used in certain areas. 

How much do mafia blocks weigh?

The weight of mafia blocks can vary depending on their size and composition. Concrete mafia blocks used in construction typically have different sizes and weights. For example:

  • Basic large mafia blocks are around 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft x 5 ft (30 x 30 x 60 inches) and weigh approximately 4,200 lbs (about 1,905 kilograms).
  • Some concrete mafia blocks can weigh between 1,200 lbs to 2,500 lbs per block, depending on the specific type and use. 

It's important to note that the weight of mafia blocks can vary depending on their purpose, size, and composition, so it's advisable to check the specific type and specifications of the blocks you intend to use for a project.
