Shirtless Man Assaulted Man on 65th Street

The title from the Citizen App sounds funny, but it isn’t.

A man was assaulted on 65th Street and 18th Avenue around 1:40 pm.

As the police gather information, the video pans to the shirt on the ground.

Guardians of the Guardian at CB 10’s Meeting

A representative of Guardians of the Guardian was at Community Board 10 last week. Thank you to these great Brooklynites for standing up for Brooklyn!

The last we heard from the Guardians of the Guardian was in 2010 when they worked to get Angel Guardian Home Landmarked. (See here)

This property was always well-maintained. The building was supposed to become yeshiva. (See photo from plans below)

The Guardians of the Guardians came to Community Board 10’s Meeting because they wanted to make sure that what is being built on the property matches the paperwork for 1222- 63rd Street. That building was knocked down and only one wall was left standing. (See red arrow below)

Josephine wrote a letter to Sarah Carroll, the Chair of the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the property received a stop work order. (See here)

Pauline shared this photo on Facebook:

The Guardians of the Guardian originally wanted to landmark the main building and the building on the side, but they weren’t able to. The Landmarking Commission said part was removed before they saw the building.

The strange thing about this landmarking incident was Andrew Gounardes was knowledgeable and led landmarking workshops, yet Gounardes did not show up as the state representative to the NYC Landmarking Meeting. The meeting are on Youtube (See here)

Gounardes deferred to Councilman Justin Brannan. Justin Brannan was not the Councilman for 12th Avenue and 64th Street (Carlos Menchaca was), so Gounardes should not have sent Brannan. Why did the NYC Landmarking meeting continue without an elected representative of the area?

The Landmarking Committee didn’t know Justin Brannan was lobbied over this property! This is how lobbyists run Brooklyn!

Politicians should not have interfered here. (See here)

9 Story Building on 63rd Street & 12th Avenue?!

Josephine, the District Manager of Community Board 10 wrote a letter to Sarah Carroll, the Chair of the Landmarks Preservation Commission about a nine-story building on 63rd and 12th Avenue with a strange property line extending to the 64th Street behind the landmarked Angel Guardian Home!

In September 2022, when this property was being planned for a Jewish Yeshiva, the Landmarks Preservation Commission was VERY detailed about the landmarked property. (See document)

The Guardians of the Guardian shared:

a) The Department of Buildings issued a Partial Stop Work Order

b) Two violations issued with partial stop work order to correct violating condition only, no other work allowed

c) Violation issued for work does not conform to approved drawings

d) Violation issued for missing job site fence.

Did You Know that Wai Yee Chan Accepted PAC Money And Is Running for NYC Council?

Wai Yee Chan is running for District 43’s NYC Council seat.

Wai Yee lives in Queens, so it is strange that she is running for this seat.

When things are strange, you should follow the money!

NYC Campaign Finance shows Wai Yee accepted a $1,050.00 donation from a PAC called Taxpayers for An Affordable NY.

A PAC is a Political Action Committee.

Taxpayers for An Affordable New York is REBNY’s PAC.

REBNY is the Real Estate Board of New York.

Politicians should not be taking donations from REBNY. Here is a list of the registered political action committees in NY.

See the email they listed for the Taxpayers for An Affordable New York PAC:


Wai Yee must not think any of you are going to look at the donations she took. But you should!

You can go to the NYC Campaign Finance site (here) and put in Chan, Wai Yee as shown below.

Once the donations come up, go to the donations column and click the word AMOUNTS twice, it will put the donations in order from high to low and you will see the PAC money right away.

Friends, please share with neighbors in Sunset Park, Borough Park, and Bensonhurst. Can someone please share this on We Chat because Brooklyn deserves better!

I am surprised Democrat politicians would endorse Wai Yee Chan when they see she took PAC money!

The lobbyist that lobbied Justin Brannan (see below and here) donated to Wei Yee Chan.


The Bay Ridge Democrats used to speak out against PAC money and out-of-district candidate, but they have endorsed.

A 6-Year-Old Was Hurt by a Hit-and-Run Scooter Driver in a Manhattan Park – Prayers Needed

Henry Diaz-Marim was seriously hurt with skull fractures on Sunday at Thomas Jefferson Park on East 111th Street and 1st Avenue in East Harlem (near the FDR Drive) around 6:30 pm. (Story)

Henry Diaz-Marim is at the hospital in critical condition.

A man on a gas powered scooter hit Henry and took off. Electric scooters are allowed in the park – not gas. (See here) These vehicles need plates so riders stop and are accountable.

Police are searching for this man:

These motorized bikes should not be allowed in parks. The ban was lifted by the mayor in March. (See here)

Pedestrian safety and a pedestrian’s right of way, especially a child’s has to come before all of these motorized scooters.

What’s Opening on 3rd Avenue & 79th Street Where Rite Aid Used to Be?

Centers Urgent Care is opening on 3rd Avenue and 78th Street.

How strange! Treat and Release is on 3rd Avenue and 80th Street.

People like the fast service they receive at Urgent Care.

I never heard of Centers Urgent Care, but our friends have (it’s on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 50th Street). They said it is a good Urgent Care place.

If Centers Urgent Care kept later hours than other Urgent Care places, people in Bay Ridge would love them!
