November 28, 2025Senior Robbed of Necklace on Narrows Avenue Between 70th Street & MacKay Place
Yesterday, a senior was robbed of her necklace on Narrows Avenue between MacKay Place and 70th Street around 4:00 pm while walking two blocks to her daughter’s home for Thanksgiving.
A silver SUV with three passengers stopped to rob her. The Ridgite was holding a tray of food. The woman in the passenger side of a silver SUV called out to wish her a Happy Thanksgiving. The Ridgite went over to the vehicle. The teenage daughter in the back seat grabbed the Ridgite’s gold chain. The male driver took off.
Both females were wearing hijabs (they are probably using the hijab as a disguise to throw people off and make it harder for them to be recognized). These thieves are all over the city – not just in our neighborhood.
The police were notified.

November 27, 2025Sal Albanese Talked With Kayla Santosuosso on His Podcasts
Sal Albanese had a podcast with Kayla Santosuosso.
Years ago, Sal Albanese was a councilman, who represented Bay Ridge. Now he lives in Staten Island, has run several unsuccessful campaigns and compliments Zohran Mamdani regularly on social media.
While Albanese should have been able to provide substantial knowledge and a hearty interview with Santosuosso, this clip is pretty bad.
Sal Albanese knows exactly why Bay Ridge and Coney Island were put into one district. And Albanese knows no Democrats spoke out against gerrymandering, including Kayla Santosuosso. Sal was too afraid to speak the truth in the podcast. He’s been around all these years and Albanese couldn’t speak honestly about a gerrymandered district.
It’s strange that Kayla Santosuosso is playing with podcasts when the district needs so much work.

November 26, 2025Is an Eleven Story Building Coming to 9201 – 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge?
On Monday, December 8, 2025 at 7:00 pm, Community Board 10 is having a Zoning and Land Use Meeting to discuss rezoning of 9201 – 4th Avenue. You can go to the District Office at 8119 – 5th Avenue or register to participate over Zoom at: https://bit.ly/44aeVhW
9201 – 4th Avenue will need both a zoning map amendment and a zoning text amendment. If they rezone for this building, all other buildings will also want to build to eleven stories.
Now here’s the real story: Efthimios Zisimopoulos owns this building. You may know him better as Tim Ziss from the Nathan’s flip. Info: Adams Economic Czar Likely Pick Had Secret Sideline Securing City Real Estate Deals
See article: Tim Ziss Buying Bankrupt Bay Ridge Office Building
Community Board 10, Justin Brannan and the unregistered lobbyist did not do the best for our community.
In 2021, we saw Community Board approve the second school property that Tim Ziss owned because of Justin Brannan’s push. Info: Nathan’s Property and This New School – What No One Is Telling Bay Ridge About These Two Properties..(see the video on how this went down at a CB 10 Meeting).
Four years later, that property never became a school because it needs a Brownfield Cleanup! It won’t be a school for years because CB 10 and Brannan messed up. Info: Bay Ridge Brownfield Cleanup for 88th Street and 5th Avenue – April 2025
You won’t see Senator Andrew Gounardes or ANYONE on CB 10 stand up and speak for the community on this. #Crickets
I expect this rezoning to pass, but it will be interesting to see which CB 10 member is pushing it.
