Dog Owners Ticketed Bay Ridge Baseball Field
Kathy shared this photo of the NYPD at Shore Road Park
The police were at Shore Road and 79th Street yesterday morning ticketing dogs on the baseball field.
Dog owners want their dogs to run on the soft field, but this is not a park for pets. It’s a baseball field for children and it’s not fair for kids to have to play in dog poop.
Our dogs are always on a leash. In NYC, dogs are only allowed off-leash at dog runs and parks which have listed off-leash hours.
We can’t take our dog to the park on Shore Road and the 90’s because there are always dogs off leash there – morning, afternoon and evening.
Loose dogs run up to our dogs and either kiss them or start a war. The dog’s owner is far behind, strolling the park sipping a latte.
A few years back, a dog bit my dog. I asked the owner if the dog was vaccinated for rabies (all dogs are required to be if they are in public.) The dog owner told me didn’t believe in vaccinations.

Happy One Month Anniversary Hiding On The Streets of Brooklyn
This hot mess – a black SUV with a hitch holding the white sedan was on fire in Dyker Heights on December 11th.
Calls to 311 by residents went unanswered. The 311 calls were closed as if the vehicle was removed! But it remained on 86th Street for weeks!
When I wrote this, the vehicle was moved the next day to 16th Avenue and 81st Street. The home owner, whose house the disgusting vehicle is parked in front of, searched online and found what I wrote. She spoke to Justin Brannan and he did not have it removed.
The large SUV and the hitch are about 35 feet long on the street.
Even though these vehicles haven’t been moved for alternate side parking on Thursdays, they have not received any tickets.

It appears that there is stolen mail in the front seat of the SUV:
Who owns these garbage vehicles, that have been dropped in our neighborhood and are never ticketed?
On the day it was moved, the residents in that area saw the SUV was driven to that location. Another vehicle followed and the the driver of the SUV hopped into that car and drove away.
In June, Andrew Gounardes held a meeting and told us that he was having the vehicles moved, but six months later, nothing has changed. Many of the hitches are empty and it ‘s obvious they are for transporting cars.

Recently, silly pols made a “taskforce.” We don’t need another useless taskforce. We need representatives who can take action for the community!
Why has Justin Brannan and Andrew Gounardes refused to take action and have that street ticketed every day?

Why Did Justin Brannan Give Property Tax Exemptions To These Buildings – Everyone Needs to Pay Some Property Taxes!
On Twitter, Brannan told a Republican that paying taxes is important.
Yet, in December Justin Brannan put in the paperwork and asked NYC Council for property tax exemptions for huge buildings in Manhattan and Queens. (See paperwork and 4 minute NYC Council Meeting video here)
Let’s look at the properties and figure out why a Brooklyn Councilman thought it was a “cool idea” to give these exemptions.
1. Manhattan – Block 1539, Lot 10 – 225 East 93rd Street – 13 stories and 133 units. (See street view) Seniors with subsidized housing are living here, but the building still should be paying property taxes.
This a huge tax exemption to give this building. These are the taxes:
An apartment listing in this building – see: here and here.
2. Manhattan – Block 1904, Lot 6 – 157 West 119th Street – 5 stories/20 units. The tax on it is: $79,972 (Source)
This building shows there is a lot of outstanding taxes:
3. Property 1 – See Acris Paper work
Manhattan – Block 1831, Lot 53 – 240 West 116 Street (12 units 5 stories – stores. This building had boiler problems – see here
Justin Brannan asked that they be exempt from these property taxes:
4. Queens – Block 9663, Lot 2: 80-08 135th Street
This property and the one below are the same owner related – see paperwork from NYC.
This building is huge! See here and has huge property taxes:
See an apartment from this building here
5. Queens – Block 9663, Lot 20 is at 81-10 – 135th Street in Queens
This property and the one above are the same owner related – see paperwork from NYC.
Why would NYC give up this much property taxes? This is for one year:
6. Queens – Block 1909, Lot 1 is at 94-14 55th Avenue in Queens
See here

7. Queens – Block 1956, Lot 29
This is a huge tax exemption:
Paperwork has two properties – see here
There are also strange land use applications that Justin Brannan submitted for other boroughs – see here
Not one journalist or paper in NYC reported on these property tax exemptions.
Our community elected Justin Brannan to help our community – not to help Manhattan or Queens property owners score property tax exemptions!
