The painting on the wall on the building on 86th Street and Gatling Place looks clean and fresh. Kaves painted it.
I didn’t realize people were going to be painted under the words, Bay Ridge.

It looks like these artists will be done in a few more days.
Too bad Councilman Brannan did not maintain this community- owned building. The huge weed outside is awful and takes up a lot of the sidewalk!

It’s sad that the money for communities was not used to revive this building. It has been empty for the entire time Justin Brannan has been a Councilman. The ad on the side of the building was there for years.

Councilman Brannan awarded $1,120,000.00 for an office renovation to NIA. (Information here)
Brannan never shared the money he gave to NIA with the community. We were surprised when we saw it listed on NYC Council’s website with Brannan’s name.
The problem with giving NIA the money is that our community doesn’t own the building!
Our community owns this building with the nice mural – but it’s completely useless to anyone in the community.
