October 4, 2019A New School for Bay Ridge on Third Avenue
A local newspaper briefly announced that the building where Lenox Hill Radiology (and it’s adjacent parking lot) at 6740 – 3rd Avenue is set to become an elementary school for 330 students.
That’s all the facts the article provided.
The journalist had access to the politician making the announcement, yet the article is so vague.
It doesn’t provide information about when the school will open or whether the school will have D75 seats (12 to 1 classrooms are needed here). Parents have been calling for more special education seats for this neighborhood for a long time.
The journalist didn’t mention that the property is the whole block 6740 – 6748 3rd Avenue. It doesn’t even say how much was paid for the building. Why was that left out? The property was last sold in 2003 for 5 million (see here) and the sale price would be known if the city made a purchase. It was available for lease since the Spring (on Loopnet)
I feel terrible for this home owner who lives next door to the lot (with it’s sweet double garage) . They didn’t intend to live near a school, so while parents in the community are excited, this isn’t good news for these home owners. As I wrote that, I realized they probably don’t know the property next to them has been sold.
No need to feel sorry for the homeowner below as 270 Senator and the medical center are the same owner and the property was recorded together – see here
And of course people will be wondering about traffic. If this property allowed the school to be built taller, then maybe there would still be room for a lot where the school bus can pull in with the children. Dropoffs aren’t going to be pretty there.
Maybe another journalist will give more information this week.

October 4, 2019Nicole Malliotakis – Accomplishments?
.@MaxRose4NY message for #2020 challenger @NMalliotakis -“she’s never accomplished a thing in her life.” pic.twitter.com/oW5faYRHiv

Gerard Kassar says that Malliotakis’ accomplishment is that she beat her opponent in 2011. But she couldn’t beat Bill de Blasio!!!!
Kassar does not live in an area that is represented by Nicole Malliotakis.
Nicole Malliotakis voted for tax breaks for developers. This was Golden’s bill and she was silent on social media after the vote. When I asked her about it – she blocked me.
In the 2018 election, Malliotakis supported Steve Saperstein and said she needed Saperstein in Albany with her. Saperstein admitted to taking money from developers during the Xaverian debate. Malliotakis didn’t withdraw her support for him.
In 2017, the Conservative Party gave us the placeholder candidate election. And even doing that, they couldn’t win.

October 3, 2019Nicole Malliotakis’ Staffer Makes The News
The Post tried to make this story look scandalous for Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, but it’s not that juicy of a story. Usually when a politician’s staffer gets in trouble, they show the picture of staffer – not the pol.
Some people tried to bribe a college basketball team to throw the season. The name of the college team involved has not been revealed yet. It would have been juicier with that info, See here
See who else is being charged here.
Malliotakis fired the staffer involved him right away and spoke out against the illegal activity.

October 3, 2019Dyker Heights Parents Call For Help. Why Can’t Anyone Hear Them?
Pics from here
I never drove on my neighbors fence, so I am unsure the speed needed to get up there. I imagine it’s a lot faster than the current speed limit.
We’re all just lucky that a pedestrian wasn’t here – 86th Street between 12th and 13th Avenue.
Maybe he answer will be in the essays cause nothing else is being done.
