June 21, 2024Rally Against the Dispensary – Pilo Arts Former Location in Bay Ridge – June 24, 2024
I saw this notice about a rally against the legal cannabis shop that applied to open at Pilo Arts location.
If NYS politicians, like Andrew Gounardes checked on the details of dispensaries being placed in communities, we would not be here now.
For two years, Bay Ridge has seen these illegal shops get robbed because they are cash only businesses. They can not accept credit cards.
Stand up Bay Ridge!

June 20, 2024CB 10 is Unfavorable Towards The City of Yes
Tonight, Community Board 10 shared their extensive review of the City of Yes. They didn’t take this issue lightly.
Tonight’s meeting was held in a very small room that could hold only 50 people – Why?
Community Board 10 has been rezoned before. When there was a rezoning, it was done carefully to make things work in the community. Some parts of NYC have not had any rezonings.
CB 10 found that the City of Yes will make the property values even higher and there will be adverse affects on the neighborhood. If they want the City of Yes to have affordability there needs to be a carve out for affordability. More density will not make the neighborhood less expensive. And property taxes will increase as well.
The City of Yes does not account for problems with electricity, sewers or overcrowded schools in Community Board 10. Illegal conversions in Dyker Heights are still an issue.
In July, there will be a hearing and then NYC Council will vote on it.

June 20, 2024CB 10 Voted Against Cannalicious Dispensary
Cannalicious LLC put in an application for a dispensary at 8514 3rd Avenue. This is where Rose Glass Works used to be.
The applicant for this location did not have a lease.
The applicant did not submit a floor plan, which makes the application incomplete.
CB 10 voted against this dispensary because this location has the Masjid Al Rahman Mosque near it at 333 – 86th Street.
This location also has many schools around it including: Home Sweet Home Day Care, DGK, Bay Ridge Catholic, Adelphi, Stepping Stones, PS 185 and Fort Hamilton High School.

June 20, 2024CB 10 Voted Against the Dispensary at Pilo Arts
Tonight Community Board 10 voted against a dispensary at the former Pilo Arts location.
RMan Holding has tried opening a dispensary in four other locations (two in our area – one was denied because it was near a school and one was approved on 86th Street).
This location on 3rd Avenue has many schools around it with around 8000 students in public and private schools including: Home Sweet Home Day Care, DGK, Bay Ridge Catholic, Adelphi, Stepping Stones, PS 185 and Fort Hamilton High School.
A huge dispensary would have a negative impact on that street (remember Pilo Arts is three store fronts)
