NYC Replaced Our Water Meter
NYC had a company contact us to tell us that our water meter needed to be changed. I thought that was strange because NYC usually contacts us. So I called NYC instead of the number on the postcard and in the phone message.
They confirmed that they are using that company. But I was able to make the appointment while I was on the phone with them, rather than call that number.
They came and replaced the meter – it took 20 minutes.

Thieves Robbed a Purse on 5th Avenue Tonight
Around 3:30 pm this afternoon, two men went into Mussels & More Restaurant on 5th Avenue and 80th Street. They pretended they were going to order food.
One man grabbed a woman’s purse and they both ran out. There were police cars outside the restaurant this afternoon.
People saw the thieves in the laundromat next to the Mussels and More before they robbed the bag (maybe they have video which can help with the investigation).

Fedir Usmanov is Running for NYC Council – District 47 – Bay Ridge to Coney Island
Fedir Usmanov is running for NYC Council to represent Bay Ridge to Coney Island in District 47. I asked him why he was running and he said that people want action, not just talk.
Fedir likes the color orange as he is wearing an orange jacket and has an orange campaign website. (See here) He told me that he likes orange because it represents energy, change, and a fresh approach.
Usmanov‘s website doesn’t say he is a Democrat, but he is pictured with Council representative Susan Zhuang and Assemblyman Colton. He must be a moderate Democrat.
He has three main focuses:
1) Smart budgeting—ensuring every dollar actually improves people’s daily lives. (This is good because a lot of non-profits receive the money from our district)
2) Better education and youth opportunities—investing in long-term success of our community.
3) Safer communities—building trust with police and stronger crime prevention programs.
Usmanov will be in the Democratic primary against Kayla Santosuosso in June. Santosuosso ran Khader El Yateem’s campaign a few years ago. El Yateem was a socialist.
Kayla purchased her domain in August, but hasn’t put anything up.
Fedir Usmanov is the youngest candidate that has run for this position. He is finishing his college degree.

Leases to Three NYC Properties on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge Are Up for Auction Online in March
Leases to three city-controlled properties under the municipal parking lot near 86th St on 5th Ave in Bay Ridge are up for auction.
This properties are not in the Bay Ridge BID – they are in the 86th Street BIDs district.
1) 8509 – 5th Avenue. This was Dunkin Donuts (Info and bid here for the 5 year lease)
2) 8511 – 5th Avenue – 5 Year Lease (Bid here) This was where the amazing card store was (I loved that store!) The last time this building was used was during Covid (people were tested for Covid here).

3) 8515 – 5th Avenue (the corner property that was Chase Bank) (Info and Bid here)
Why did it take NYC so long to offer these leases? Leaving them empty has made that area look terrible (while across the street, every storefront is filled).

Many Palestinian Protesters Were Fighting in Borough Park Tonight
The Palestinian Protest organized by Pal-Awda in Borough Park tonight on 14th Avenue and 37th Street was not good. (See news and here too)
Palestinians chanted, “Settlers, settlers go back home. Palestine is our home.” (See video here) Some men started fighting – they are angry. See videos:
a) The police had to break up men who were fighting. (See video and Here)
b) More fighting (See video)
c) A car had to be stopped by the police and the driver was put in cuffs. (See here and here)
d) Heshy Tischler was punched (the guy didn’t think Heshy would fight back, but he did!) The man was arrested. (See video here and here) Tischer was angry that this protest was allowed in Borough Park. (See video)
e) Someone attempted to use a knife at the protest. Fortunately, the police apprehended him. (See post and video) The knife is huge. (See video)
f) Hours after the protest, people stayed and continue to fight (See video)
Protests shouldn’t be allowed in this neighborhood. The Palestinians are very angry (and rightfully so – they are protesting over property (Info here). The NYPD are the ones paying the price because they have to stop all the fights. So a different neighborhood would be better for these protests.
