NYC Dept of Buildings Declared War on Bay Ridge Merchants Over Signs
Bay Ridge Merchants are taking the brunt of the new Mayor de Blasio “Let’s Make Money from Bay Ridge” storm. See story here
Store owners are being fined thousands of dollars for illegal signs which have been hanging in some case for decades.
Councilman Justin Brannan:
The above True Value sign has been up for 30 years – before the current owner took over the store. NYC is fining him almost $8000. Melissa Nail Salon in Bay Ridge was fined $6000 by the New York City Department of Buildings for his sign.
Brannan posted pics of signs that were removed from stores in our neighborhood.
Stores in Bay Ridge aren’t the only targets, residents told Councilman Brannan that store owners on 8th Avenue, 13th Avenue and 18th Avenue removed their signs as well. (See here)
