315 Ovington Avenue – Taped Off with NYPD
This afternoon around 12:30 pm, a police officer taped off 315 Ovington Avenue and waited outside. This apartment building is across the street from the Brooklyn Firefly. See: https://shorturl.at/f5IIC
He was there for several hours (sometimes it takes awhile for the medical examiner to arrive).
That’s usually a sign that someone died and they are waiting for the medical examiner to pick up the body.

Bay Ridge Politicians Fail Residents in the Towers – Fires From Homeless Encampments
For almost two years, residents at The Bay Ridge Towers on 3rd Avenue and 65th Street have been calling for help because homeless people are starting fires behind their building and the toxic smoke is filling their apartments and hallways. See Channel 12 News:
https://shorturl.at/o8hkI
Why isn’t Council representative Kayla Santosuoso and Senator Andrew Gounardes helping them?
Why hasn’t Community Board 10 mentioned this? Last night, Community Board 10 had a Police and Public safety meeting and none of the members of the NYPD’s representative spoke about the homeless encampments starting fires.
The residents went to the news because they can’t get help to stop the fires near the Towers. They don’t feel safe outside of the apartment buildings.
The homeless people are burning tires!

Community Board 10 and The Staples Lot
Last week, CB 10’s Zoning and Land Use Committee voted in favor of rezoning the Staples Lot.
The developer said that the affordable housing would be handled by a group called The Fifth Avenue Committee. Why wasn’t a group in Bay Ridge used for this?
The developer made it seem like they were “community activists.”
Why does the 5th Avenue Committee’s 990 show huge lobbying expenditures?
Why didn’t anyone on CB 10’s Land Use Committee question who the 5th Avenue Committee was before they voted?
How did the 5th Avenue Committee get involved in this project?
*A little history: Brad Lander served as the executive director of the Fifth Avenue Committee before entering city politics.
