How Much Did The Property for the High School on Ovington Avenue in Bay Ridge Cost? $20.5M
Two properties were purchased for the high school. 425 Ovington Avenue was where the St. Nicholas Home was located.

Each went for $10,250,000 = $20,500,000
Traded NY put 68th Street and has the wrong photos, but the description is correct:
Cha-Ching!

Dead Cats Were Found in Dyker Heights
At least six cats have been found dead in Dyker Heights between 69th and 70th Street from Fort Hamilton Parkway up to 8th Avenue.
If you see anyone trying to harm an animal please call the police department immediately.
Maybe someone put out poison to kill the rats and the cats ate it instead. Let’s hope no one is so cruel to kill neighborhood cats.
A lot of kind people care for outdoor cats – some even have several cats in a colony. If you can bring your cats indoors or to an enclosed backyard, please do so. If your outdoor cat is missing – join this group.
Signs were hung around the area to let people know what happened.

86 Noodles in Bay Ridge is Closing on March 3rd
86 Noodles Restaurant at 8608 4th Avenue is closing. It’s sad to see this news as they have been in a staple in Bay Ridge for almost 30 years!
Their sign is already gone and the outside was painted.
They shared this message:
Their last day is Sunday, March 3rd.
Many people love 86 Noodles – not just for their noodles, but for their sesame chicken and their duck.

Noncitizens Can Not Vote – Malliotakis (And Others) Won in Court For New York
The Constitution of New York State clearly outlines who can vote in NY. (Page 8 – here)
The reason it is part of the state Constitution is so that it is clear to everyone, especially local leaders! But some must not know the Constitution!
In 2021, Justin Brannan and others in NYC Council voted to give noncitizens the right to vote. (See bill and votes)
NYC Council did not have the right to do that. Thirty-five politicians, including Justin Brannan, thought they could ignore the NYS Constitution that they took an oath to uphold.
When Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis saw their bill, she spoke out against it many times to make everyone aware that the Democrats wanted to give voting rights to noncitizens. When the NYC Council voted in favor of the bill, Malliotakis confidently said, “We’ll see you in court.”
In June 2022, a lower court ruled that noncitizens voting in NYS was unconstitutional. But that wasn’t enough for some people, so they tried appealing it.
Yesterday, the Court of Appeals declared the NYC Council’s bill UNCONSTITUTIONAL. If you are a lawmaker and your bill has been called unconstitutional TWICE, it makes you don’t know what you are doing and you shouldn’t be in office.
Congresswoman Malliotakis (and others) won in court for New York. These politicians passionately fought to ensure our state’s rules are followed.
Malliotakis wrote:
Seven hundred people retweeted Malliotakis’ message on the liberal social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).
This is not the first time Nicole Malliotakis has won in court for New Yorkers. She is a passionate Congresswoman who continues to fight for her community.
*Ironically, the Court of Appeals judge said if the noncitizens can vote, they can also run for mayor!

School of Rock Coming to Bay Ridge on 69th Street – Circles Cafe’s Original Location
The School of Rock Music School will be opening on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 69th Street.
The music school will have lessons for children and adults. (See here) They also have Summer Camp sessions in July. (See here)
This is a good location for parents as CoffeeRx is next door and South Brooklyn Foundry is a few doors down.
The information about this new business came from a strange article about Councilman Justin Brannan teaming up with a realty, Allied Properties. (See here)
The article referred to the real estate firm as a “local firm” so I went to see where they were located because I couldn’t recall seeing an Allied Properties office in the area.
Then I saw this:
How strange that the article left that out! The Nathan’s property and the 5th Avenue location where an elementary school will be built were also owned by Tim Ziss. (Info)
Brannan’s never had a huge interest in music schools in Bay Ridge before. The Bay Ridge School of Music had students play at Carnegie Hall last year and Brannan didn’t pay any attention to the talented students at that school. (Info) The talented kids and that school should have been a highlight of the 3rd Avenue Festival.
Maybe Brannan will go work for Allied Properties when his term is over.
This location was Circles Restaurant’s original location in Bay Ridge for forty years.

Launch Trampoline Park is Coming to 86th Street in Bay Ridge

This entertainment center is similar to Urban Air or Dave and Busters. It is trampolines, laser tag, a battle pit and arcade.
This is where Modell’s Sporting Goods was years ago.
This article told us that Councilman Justin Brannan “partnered” with Allied Properties. Why would a NYC Council member partner with a real estate company? Allied Properties is owned by Tim Ziss. Tim Ziss also owned the Nathan’s property. (Info) #IfYouKnowYouKnow

Some Justice For Justin Moncada – Murdered on 83rd Street in Dyker Heights
In 2021, Adam Thomas broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home on 83rd Street in Dyker Heights and shot through the door at Justin Moncada 16 times. Then he held a gun at Kilse Ogandl’s head. (See here)
Adam Thomas pled guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 18 years to life in prison. This in no way replaces Justin Moncada’s life, but at least it is something. (Story here)
RIP Justin. He was only 30 years old.

Senator Gounardes is Not On The Smokeout Act to Get Rid of Illegal Cannabis Shops
At the Community Board meeting, Senator Andrew Gounardes acted as if he was against the illegal cannabis shops that have set up in Bay Ridge.
Andrew Gounardes is not on the bill to shut down the illegal smoke shops. (See the Bill) The bill was introduced into the NYS Senate in January, so Gounardes had plenty of time to sign on to it!

Why is Andrew Gounardes not on this bill? We think it is because there are no lobbyists pushing the SmokeOut Act.
Mayor Adams supports the Smokeout Act, but Andrew Gounardes was not present to back the bill with the mayor.
I was thrilled to join @nycmayor at Gracie Mansion where he endorsed my #SMOKEOUTAct to close all illegal smokeshops this year! Civic leaders from across the City joined in their support! ? pic.twitter.com/8yJZTU5kxx
— Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar (@JeniferRajkumar) February 21, 2024

Last year, the 68th Precinct Captain announced that there were over 25 illegal shops in our area. That happened because Andrew Gounardes voted to legalize cannabis, without making sure that the background work was done.
Our community is stuck with these shops, Gounardes has not taken action! Who is happy about this? (See here)
How much have car accidents in our area increased since these shops set up in Bay Ridge? When marijuana was legalized, Senator Gounardes said that there was a saliva test for the police to give to drivers. There is no saliva test being used by the police in NYC to test for marijuana. (See this statement here)
