January 1, 20232022 Was Harsh on Bay Ridge Because of Opportunists. Choose Well in 2023!
Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights took a beating this past year due to opportunists and laws not written correctly.
Bay Ridge Businesses were robbed and silent politicians didn’t make any move to help them. If Adam from LoudLabs NYC didn’t reveal what happened, we still wouldn’t know. (Info)
We saw around 20 smoke shops open in our community and some are selling marijuana without a license. The law was changed by people who don’t understand how to write laws, so there are always loopholes. After months of being in business several shops were raided by the NYPD. (Info)
We saw politicians vote to gerrymander the communities that raised them, after speaking out against gerrymandering. (Here) Even the Brooklyn Paper noted this as the number 1 item for 2022. (See here)
Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights were divided at the state and city level to weaken the community’s power. Gerrymandering is unconstitutional – don’t vote for people who don’t value the Constitution.
We saw our property taxes increase and the government throw bread crumbs at home owners. Politicians who held state positions told home owners they would help them and then didn’t bother doing their jobs.
We saw bike enthusiasts and Community Board 10 be duped by loading zones which the Councilman was lobbied over. (Info)
We saw trailers of cars parked in our area because they can! And their burnt truck sat across the street from homes for weeks because not one politician wanted to do their job!
We saw Ridgites sell their homes and move to NJ, PA and DE. The year ended with so many talking about putting their home up for sale.
I’m thankful that the 68th Precinct are present on our streets. Let’s discontinue the NCO program permanently, these motivated officers can renew the community’s hope. (See here)
I am also thankful for the great people in this community who go out of their way to help children, pets, seniors, immigrants and their neighbors.
It’s 2023 – Choose well Bay Ridge! Choose leaders who want to listen and have meetings with the community, so things can get done. Anyone who has represented a developer or lobbyist’s wants shouldn’t be in office.
Neighbors, thank you for reading, sharing information and being great neighbors. I wish you and your families a year of good health and happiness!

Keep your eyes open for Benji – he slipped out of the Dyker Heights Dog Park on 86th Street around 12:00 pm today.
Contact: 646-520-5551 or 917-744-1786 with any information
Saw this update: “Bay Ridge – 5th Avenue & 76th Street – white & brown long-haired, short legged dog wearing blue or gray harness. Dog would not stop running.”
Another update: Benji is home with his owner. Benji made it all the way to 47th Street! He was picked up by ACC (the owner was contacted by the person who saw it).

December 31, 2022Alec Brook-Krasny Shared Committees. Will He Do Anything About Property Taxes?
Alec Brook-Krasny shared that he will be working on several committees in the NYS Assembly – aging, education and alcohol and substance abuse.
The big question Bay Ridge has is: Will Alec Brook-Krasny do something about property taxes?
Mathylde Frontus was a Democrat with a Democrat majority in the Assembly and she never made a move to help home owners in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. Mike Tannousis, like Brook-Krasny are Republicans in the minority, so this is not going to be an easy task.

December 30, 2022Crooks Waved Guns on 77th Street & 16th Avenue and No One Told This Community
On Saturday, December 17th, masked crooks pointed guns at a man on 77th Street and 16th Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn around 4:50 am.
Play the video below.
Wanted for a Citywide Robbery Pattern: In the month of December 2022, @NYPD72Pct @NYPD121Pct @NYPD62Pct unknown perpetrators displayed firearms and forcibly removed property from multiple victims. Call us at 800-577-TIPS or post a tip on our website https://t.co/TRPPY5AfKA pic.twitter.com/oa5frx0cvE
— NYPD Crime Stoppers (@NYPDTips) December 30, 2022
WPIX has the story here. These crooks seem to be hitting people in different boroughs after a night out.
What brought them to 77th Street in Dyker Heights? Knowing that may help the police figure out who they are.
Why didn’t politicians, the NYPD or journalists tell our community? A lot of people want to say crime is down and not tell us about incidents like this.
We have so many different ways to communicate, but not one person thought you and I deserved a heads up. On Monday, December 19th, Community Board 10 met online. Senator Gounardes, Assemblywoman Frontus and Councilman Brannan were all present. Not one said a word about this incident.
Crimestoppers: There is a reward: 1-800-577-8477.
