Nicole Malliotakis Co-Sponsored The Schools Not Shelters Act Which Passed in the House Today
In June, Mayor Adams ran out of space for migrants to stay. His team set up some migrants in the gym of PS 188 elementary school in Coney Island. (Info) Parents worried about the safety of their children. Some protested and some kept their children home! Mayor Adams moved the migrants to another location. (Info)
Nicole Malliotakis co-sponsored HR 3941, so schools can not be used to shelter migrants and is only for student use. (See here) The House passed this bipartisan legislation today.
There are more illegal immigrants being housed in NYC than homeless New Yorkers. Mayor Adams keeps proposing using schools meant for learning as shelters! I’m calling on my colleagues to vote YES on H.R. 3941 tomorrow & STOP @NYCMayor from housing migrants in our schools! pic.twitter.com/o2JvbhVyXT

This is why people like Nicole Malliotakis – she stands up for her community. Not only was the legislation good, but Malliotakis’ communication about it was excellent.

Rally Against the 63rd Street Nine-Story Building
Photos: Pauline Doll Castagna
Last night, residents in Brooklyn rallied on 63rd Street and 12th Avenue against a planned 9-story building. The main building on 12th Avenue was landmarked, so a nine story building should not be placed here.
Residents were glad so many leaders were present:
– Councilwoman Alexa Aviles
– Senator Iwen Chu
– Assemblyman Lester Chang (represented by George Sarantopoulos)
– Congresswoman Malliotakis (represented by Lori Windsor)
Also present was Josephine from Community Board 10, Fran Vella-Marrone from Dyker Heights Civic Association and the wonderful Guardians of the Guardians.
Vito LaBella recorded the rally because he wanted everyone to know what is going on:
Everyone in Brooklyn understands that change must happen here, but the residents are asking the developer to build within the character of the neighborhood.
The developer wants to max out in square footage to make money, but building within the character is important in Brooklyn. This happened on many streets in Sunset Park.

Hopefully, the NYC Landmarking Commission will remind the developer that this area can not be overdeveloped because the Angel Guardian Home is landmarked.
The old building that was present on this property was completely removed except for ONE WALL. This is not an alteration – this is a completely new building!
We all feel terrible for the residents on these blocks because different projects have been building on these blocks for several years.
Thank you to the organizers and attendees for standing up for Brooklyn!
We are thankful for the good people in Brooklyn who look out for their neighbors!
Kelly Carroll from the Historic District Council said she never saw a landmark designation like this, where pieces of the property were carved out. (Thank Senator Andrew Gounardes for that. Gounardes and Peter Abbate failed to show up at the Landmarking Meeting. They sent out-of-district Councilman Brannan.)
The building with the black box was partially removed before the Landmark Preservation Commissioners saw the property, so they were unable to preserve it. One Commissioner noted this in the landmarking hearing!
Not present at the rally: Senator Andrew Gounardes and Councilman Justin Brannan. Please do not say it isn’t Brannan’s district….it wasn’t Brannan’s district years ago and you didn’t say anything when Brannan overstepped here. (Info)

Dyker Resident Shared That Her Father’s Jewelry Was Robbed on 65th Street
A kind Brooklynite shared on Facebook: “My 75-year-old father’s gold chain/cross was robbed yesterday, July 18th around 3:10 pm-3:20 pm on 65th Street between 11th & 12th Avenue.“
Her father turned over the jewelry to the thieves and was not harmed, thankfully.
The NYPD have been searching for this husband and wife team, who are riding around in a white SUV and targeting seniors in our area.
Not one politician has shared this, even though it has been going on for a long time. The NYPD sometimes has the silliest public service messages, but for Dyker Heights seniors this is real – Don’t wear your gold necklaces and jewelry while walking around alone.
Description of the Thieves:
The male is in his early 30, clean shaven, 5’5″ -5’7″ tall and dark eyes.
The female was wearing a burgundy turban.
If you were on 65th Street yesterday (7/17) or you live on the block and have camera content which can help, please contact the police.
