$20,000 A Month Rent on 86th Street – Bay Ridge

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Wai-Fan Jimmy Lu (@jimmylu_88)

We all know the business storefront rents are high.
I didn’t think they were $20,800 a month on 86th Street and 4th Avenue (See here)

Councilman Carr’s Working in Bay Ridge
Due to redistricting, Councilman Carr from Staten Island represents part of Dyker Heights.
Councilman Carr had some of vehicles on Poly Place removed and he said he is going to stay on this as long as needed!
In July 2022, Councilman Brannan and Senator Andrew Gounardes held a meeting with the head of the 68th Precinct and they said were going to do it, but they didn’t.
The 68th Precinct tagged Councilman Carr:
Councilman Carr is professional. His staffer was at CB 10’s meeting and he said he would like to help with quality of life issues.
Follow Councilman Carr’s Facebook page – he doesn’t play around on Twitter like the other politicians.

Update on the Homeless Shelter in Bay Ridge
Last month, residents in Bay Ridge protested outside of Councilman Justin Brannan’s office. (Info and photos)
Councilman Brannan had his staffer take photos of the protesters and then mocked them on his Facebook page. (See here and here) People have the right to protest a developer winning in their community! You know we have bad representatives because other politicians didn’t tell Brannan to take that down! District Leader, Chris McCreight is silent as usual!
On social media, nice Bay Ridge residents asked Councilman Brannan why he didn’t go to the Towers and meet with the people.
Brannan told them he would hold a meeting there. Councilman Brannan did not hold a meeting or provide the residents any more information. Brannan has not written about the homeless shelter in any mailing. The Councilman likes to plays on Twitter. (See here)
In February, the head of Community Board 10 said that they were going to have someone come to a Spring meeting and speak about the hotel. I don’t believe her because she said that about the high school as well! Community Board 10 members don’t live near that location, so they don’t care and the topic is passed over.
By now, Community Board 10 should have had Justin Brannan speak on the topic. Brannan is not representing the community or communicating and CB 10 should be holding him accountable (other Community Boards are better at this.) How did this project get so far without community input?

Andrew Gounardes Failed To Share Info About the 3rd Street Migrant Shelter for 400 Men
Senator Andrew Gounardes loves to tweet, but he isn’t sharing relevant information with Brooklyn. A 400 bed shelter for men will be on 3rd Street. Brownstoner has the story (here)
Residents were interviewed by NY1 News and men spoke out against it because it is just too many people being placed in the area. Gounardes should have fought to size down this project.
The Council representative for the area held a meeting this week:
