NYC is Failing to Help Someone’s Family Member.

A person has been sleeping on the ground on 5th Avenue between Bay Ridge Parkway and 76th Street because people don’t care.
If your relative was sleeping on the ground betwen the bench and tree (in the photo above) for several weeks, wouldn’t you want someone to go pick them up and help them?
We need to do better here.

May 9, 2026Fire at Zano Express at 569 – 92nd Street: Next To The Gas Station. Four People Were Displaced.

Citizen App
Zano Express is a small grocery store that opened next to the Sunoco gas station on 92nd Street in Bay Ridge.

Today, around 1:30 pm, there was a two-alarm electrical fire at the store. We heard fire truck sirens for about a half an hour.

BOBBY ZAHN
People were worried that the fire would spread to the adjacent Sunoco gas station. There was a lot of smoke and the whole neighborhood smelled like fire.

The fire fighters were on the roof of the building. Thankfully, they were able to put out the fire. Unfortunately, the apartment above the store was damaged and four people were displaced. See News 12: https://shorturl.at/1tTGM
For years, this store was vacant and looked like this:

May 9, 2026Thank God for Proud Norwegians in Bay Ridge, Who Love To Share Their Culture!

VikingFest took place at Owls Head Park in Bay Ridge today. They brought the huge ship with them (back center of the first photo).
While the weather held out, many people had a chance to learn about Norwegian history and culture.

More cultures in our community should take the time to have culture days like this in a public park.
While some have celebrations with their own community, many don’t take the time to teach and allow people to appreciate the interesting aspects of a culture.

May 9, 2026Ponzi Scheme Thieves Are Caught in Brooklyn. Senator Chan Helped The NYPD Get Them!

A Brooklyn resident contacted Senator Steve Chan because he was a victim of an online scam.
This Brooklyn resident invested over $400,000 in United States currency and Bitcoin in what he believed would be a lucrative online shop.
The Brooklyn resident desired to open a TikTok shop. He contacted an online business to set up the online shop for him. The company provided him a storefront online. When the Brooklynite tried to withdraw money from the store’s online account, he wasn’t able to. The thieves tried to convince him to send more money and Bitcoin.
That’s when the Brooklynite contacted Senator Chan for help.
Senator Chan, a former police officer listened to the Brooklynite and he helped coordinate with law enforcement and other offices a sting operation to apprehend the thieves!
The Brooklynite told the thieves that he had more money to invest and they could pick the money up at his home.

Three people showed up to collect the money at his home. Two of the thieves were arrested by the police. One person brought a baby with them and the police released that person pending further investigation. How awful that a parent would bring a child with them to rob someone!!
** I’m glad the Brooklynite got to see the thieves being arrested.**
Senator Chan shared this: “This case highlights the evolving tactics being used by perpetrators targeting hardworking New Yorkers,” said Stephen T. Chan. “I commend the outstanding work of the NYPD Financial Crimes Unit, the PBQN Grand Larceny Division, and the Kings County District Attorney’s Office for their swift coordination and professionalism. I also want to recognize the courage of the victim for coming forward and assisting law enforcement in preventing others from potentially becoming victims of similar scams.”
Senator Chan’s office encourages anyone who believes they may be the victim of a financial scam to contact the police.
