Mayor Adams Was In Sunset Park For Questions

Mayor Adams had a community meeting with Sunset Park on July 24th. People in Sunset Park had a lot of problems that local leaders like Senator Gounardes and NY Council representative, Alexa Aviles should have helped the people with.
Mayor Adams did his best to answer the people’s questions and provide solutions. People didn’t like that only one person from each table could get up and speak. The table decided which person spoke. The Mayor also took questions and said his staff would answer all of them.
1) A Sunset Park resident stood up and said he couldn’t take his family to Sunset Park because men were sitting around, drinking and doing drugs. The man said the park is unsanitary. They called 311, the police and the city council representative. The man said he goes to the park on 19th Street or to Bay Ridge with his family. The Mayor said he will go to the park and come up with a plan.
2) The sports field is used by private groups and children from Sunset Park can not play there. A child spoke about this! Very sad!
3) Summer Rising did not have enough seats for the community. The Mayor said he believes structured learning all year. The Mayor said they had 110,000 seats for Summer Rising, but there is not enough money for this.
4) The mayor said he will allow extended use of school buildings more so non-profits do not need to pay for space.
5) A woman asked: What steps has the Mayor taken to lower the cost of living? Families are leaving New York and schools are losing money and teachers. The Mayor said that they brought down the cost of childcare with Albany. They provide fair fares for the subways. *The woman wanted more from the Mayor.
6) A young man asked why so many programs were underfunded while the police received eleven billion. The Mayor said he is going to make the city safe.
7) One man asked why the police were beating street vendors on 5th Avenue and chasing people out of the park who are selling food. The resident said the vendors don’t have the paperwork because NYC doesn’t want to give the paperwork. The Mayor said, “We respond to what communities ask for.” (Meaning if people are breaking the law, they will be asked to leave the park.)
8) One Sunset Park resident said that when people ask the police officers for a translator, they are laughed at and they are not given a translator.
9) One resident said that Sunset Park has been forgotten and people no longer feel safe. The Mayor said that at Townhalls, he heard people ask about being safe.
10) A resident asked about the rent increase by the real estate board. Mayor Adams said that he can not have property owners losing their homes.
11) A resident asked for more money for crossing guards in Sunset Park because the streets are not safe.
12) A Sunset Park resident asked the Mayor about short-term rentals to make money and fines.
13) A resident asked how can Sunset Park make streets safer for pedestians, cyclists and cars?
14) A Redhook resident asked what the Mayor could do in the next 30 days to improve the air quality in Redhook. The response from RIT Aggarwala was not good at answering the woman’s question. He said, “continuing what we are doing” and over time, more air conditioning. He then admitted that there is not a lot that can be done in 30 days – except masks. The woman requested air purifiers for NYCHA!

Ridgite Helped These Baby Pigeons Get to Safety
A Ridgite found these baby pigeons in the backyard.
She couldn’t leave them in the yard because rats were going after the little birds. She kept the birds warm and the baby birds were sent to a rescue where they will be cared for. I’m thankful that someone who would take action for animal found them!
Over the weekend, a person had a hurt animal. He didn’t have a car to go to the Wildbird Fund, so he called them and they told him to put the animal in a paper bag with holes. Then they sent an Uber to pick up the hurt animal! I didn’t realize they did that. (Wildbird Fund)

Is Angel Guardian’s Landmarked Building Being Maintained? Vito LaBella Says No!
Vito LaBella noticed that the landmarked building, Angel Guardian Home, is not being cared for and maintained as a landmarked building.
LaBella noticed the following:
a) The copper gutters have separated and come off the building. The water is causing damage to some of the bricks as well.
b) There is blue graffiti on the brick wall on the side of the building.
c) Windows were left open so water is getting into the building.
LaBella explained that a local law can be passed to bring the building up to landmarked condition.
Vito LaBella showed what proper stewardship of a landmarked building looked like (He showed a beautiful building on 3rd Street and 3rd Avenue.)

Trucks Cover Poly Place a Year After Brannan and Gounardes Held a Meeting
Last June, Councilman Justin Brannan and Senator Andrew Gounardes held a townhall.
At a meeting last June, Councilman Justin Brannan, Senator Andrew Gounardes and former NYPD Captain Tolson said they were going to take care of the problem car hauler trucks and other trucks on Poly Place.
Captain Tolson said he was going to change to vertical parking on Poly Place to stop people from parking trucks. This was the second time we heard the Captain mention this “plan.” A year later, nothing has changed on Poly Place!
None of the cars are ever ticketed.
This November, Andrew Gounardes will tell you to vote for Justin Brannan. Please don’t. These two men are not able to get things done.
No community should have to keep asking a leader to do their job!!
When Brannan and Gounardes failed to do the job, Community Board 10 should have stepped in and had the trucks towed and the parking changed. But they believed the politicians and that’s why nothing gets done here.

**On July 19th, the NYPD removed four trucks from the beginning of the street.

Is There a Bed and Breakfast on 12th Avenue in Dyker Heights?
At a rally held last week in Brooklyn, one resident said that a Bed and Breakfast had opened on 12th Avenue in Dyker Heights.
Neither politician at the rally offered to help the resident because 82nd Street isn’t in their district. *Another example of how redistricting divides communities, so people can’t get help.
We passed the huge house today and expected to see a work crew outside. Instead, it was quiet and there was a SOLD sign on the property.
On the Department of Buildings website, the property received four tickets.
Someone wrote to Councilman Brannan about the property. Councilman Brannan wrote that the property was operating illegally as a hotel/Airbnb.
There are many ways to communicate information to a community. When a person is operating an illegal business, those living on that block should be informed. These residents have been fighting this alone, BUT THEY SHOULDN’T BE!
Councilman Brannan does not need to give out the address to the home, but he should have made Dyker Heights residents, especially those living near this, aware of what was going on.
