May 28, 2024Cannabis Dispensary For Pilo Arts Location? Meeting on Monday, June 10th
Rman Holdings LLC put in a dispensary application for 8312 – 3rd Avenue.
Community Board 10 will hold a meeting on Zoom or in person at the District Office on June 10th at 7:00 pm for anyone who is against this dispensary to speak out.
It’s sad that anyone thinks this is a good location for cannabis to be sold in our neighborhood. This person must not know Bay Ridge at all!
Another dispensary already put in an application for 8610 – 4th Avenue, which seems like a better location. I am not sure this one can be so close (unless that one gets denied). (Info here)
Senator Andrew Gounardes didn’t take into account some things when he voted in favor of cannabis shops.
One of the things Gounardes failed to understand is that these shops are all cash businesses and many of them get robbed. People don’t want to live near them! Do you think other stores or beautiful restaurants want to be near that?
There must be a very happy real estate agent in our area as this 3,200 sq. ft. property cost $16,000 a month.

Vlad’s Excellent Photo
This store at 8711 – 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge was closed in April and has a restraining order on the window. Bay Ridge residents noticed a beautiful parrot inside the store.
The owner of the store next to it (Hair and Beauty supply) called 311, but 311 did offer any help because the store was locked for legal reasons.
Bay Ridge residents said the bird does not have water and only has a little bit of food. Someone has even offered to take the bird.
