The realty site shows the above photo of what could be done in this area. On their site, they also have interior mockup photos for offices and manufacturing. (See photos) Might be the perfect place for someone’s dream business.

February 22, 2025Qahwah House is Opening on 86th St./4th Ave.
Qahwah House is Opening on the corner of 4th Avenue and 86th Street, where the Ay Kebab used to be.
There’s a Qahwah House on Bedford Avenue and they make fantastic chai.

Qahwah is an Arabic word that means “coffee.” You can hear how to pronounce it:
Good Luck to the owners of Qahwah House!
When we moved to Bay Ridge, this location was Mocha Coffee Shop and it was always busy because people met people from other areas there (the 86th Street train station entrance is there).
I thought the former coffee shop was called Mocha Mocha, but the photo only has one Mocha.

February 22, 2025Package Thief Arrested on 3rd & 88th Street
This package thief was arrested on 3rd Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge.
Multiple people reported this package thief taking items. If the value of what he is taken in total is high enough, the police will be able to charge him with a felony, rather than a misdemeanor.
One of the Ridgites this man stole from urged other residents to call 311 and file a police report with the 68th precinct if a porch pirate steals from you. If you have video to share with the police, it’s even better! Send email to: [email protected]
I know many people are discouraged from reporting package thieves because the thieves have gotten away with doing this for a long time, but the new leadership at the 68th Precinct seems to be handling the cases now.
And if everyone is reporting them like crazy, maybe we will get rid of them in our community.

February 21, 2025Construction Started on 8th Ave. – 61st/62nd St.
Photo: Sandra R.C.
In May 2023, Community Board 10 talked about a huge development that was planned for 62nd Street and 8th Avenue. (Info)
Community Board 10 said that the building didn’t require a special permit or review. I don’t recall CB 10 talking about this project at 6208 – 8th Avenue after that. (Street view of the property)
Back then, The Brooklyn Reporter shared that a 28-story building was planned for that location and they shared this photo and wrote that there will be 497 apartments in this building. (See article)
The Department of Buildings is also showing plans from 2022 for 28 floors.
From Sandra’s photos this week, it looks like they started construction on this project. It’s strange that no one has mentioned this property or project in the last year.

That building it too large for that area because 8th Avenue and 62nd Street is already very busy. Can you imagine how many people and cars this is going to bring to the area?
