Why Didn’t Justin Brannan Tell Us He Went to the REBNY Gala in June?
Shorefront News had an article about Justin Brannan, but they didn’t mention that Councilman Brannan attended REBNY’s Gala at the end of June.
What is REBNY? REBNY stands for The Real Estate Board of New York.
Each year, REBNY has a gala and honors people in commercial real estate. Someone is recognized for winning the deal of the year with an award (Seen here – scroll to the right) They used to have a formal party and the men wore tuxedos. This year, they went modern and had a rooftop party at The Glasshouse at 12th Avenue and 48th Street.
Jummane Williams discussed Governor Hochul being at the Gala:
How do I know about REBNY? Justin Brannan and Chris McCreight told me the basics about REBNY when Golden was in office. Then I researched REBNY on my own. (See Info)
There’s a whole website dedicated to the Gala – see here. And a digital journal has photos of all the buildings – see here.
It’s odd that Councilman Brannan, a regular user of social media, didn’t post even one photo of the canape stations at the gala. The press mentioned that Brannan attended the Gala here and here. Brannan also didn’t tell us that REBNY was behind changing office space into housing – see here.
Sadly for REBNY, 421-A was cancelled without a replacement this year. We saw Brannan gave out some property tax exemptions in May. (See here) We don’t know why the council representative for that district didn’t handle that?
Councilman Brannan can’t even be himself on social media anymore because his base would ridicule him for being at a REBNY event. (More about the event)
Now back to Shorefront News article…….REBNY wants to turn office buildings into housing and our Councilman was so kind to look into that for them. (Info)
Shorefront News is written by an insider – please include the lobbyists and tell Brooklyn which Brooklyn politicians attended the Gala. I’m often asked very detailed questions about lobbyists, maybe they could take that on.

Brad Lander Wants to Legalize Basements in Brooklyn
To all those who are waiting for NYC to do something about the illegal basements, you don’t have to wait much longer. (Story here)
The Socialist Comptroller of NYC, Brad Lander has the Basement Resident Protection Law. (Lander is a self-proclaimed socialist – see here)
The Basement Resident Protection Law which will create a “basement board” to oversee this. (Don’t count on anyone who owns or lives in this type of building to be on the board, as the property tax commission was composed of a “unique” group).
These basement conversions will no longer be called illegal apartments, they would be called accessory dwelling units or ADUs.
They haven’t done a enough to correct the problems that caused the deaths from Hurricane Ida that killed eleven people in NY.
It’s always bad news with Brad Lander. He may be a socialist, but he is anything but equitable. Lander pays less than half the property taxes of our neighborhood. He has known about this inequity for many years and hasn’t done anything to correct the problem.

Max Rose’s Mother Wrote Me A Letter
Tonight, when I walked outside to water my the plants that baked in the sun all day, I saw an envelope on the mat outside my door. I brought the mail in earlier hours before. I wondered if I dropped the envelope.
When I picked it up, I saw the envelope was blank and there was no stamp. It wasn’t sealed. I took out the paper inside and realized this was a play out of Michael Grimm’s playbook. It was a letter from Max Rose’s Mother, Lisa Rose.
Politicians in this neighborhood like to have their loved ones send us letters. (Here’s Grimm’s and Andrew Gounardes’ wife’s)
Below is the letter and the response:
Dear Mrs. Rose,
Thank you for being a military mother. I can’t imagine the hours of worry and fear you had after your son was seriously hurt. Thank you to Max for his service in the military. And finally, thank you for not asking us to vote for your son.
When Max first ran for office, people chose him because he promised he was going to work for us. We were represented by Dan Donovan and everyone was tired of Dan.
When Max was elected, he enjoyed walking in the parades in Bay Ridge, but Max didn’t take on any of the hard issues here. As lobbyists and developers played in our area with other politicians, Max didn’t say anything about it.
When the pandemic happened, businesses needed support. The first business to close in our community was the Iraqi House. Six months prior, The New York Times raved about Mohammed’s restaurant. (See here) During the pandemic, the government has programs to help business owners. No one helped Mohammed. He was a new immigrant who wasn’t able to access the programs to save his business. Social media doesn’t reach everyone in our community. Max was raising his new baby, but didn’t send anyone to help Mohammed or any of the other businesses with Covid-relief funds.
During Covid. Brannan and Gounardes held a meeting for business owners virtually. I asked Lee to go because I was working. Instead of having an open Zoom meeting, where people could talk to one another, the politicians brought in some speakers and then they closed the meeting the minute it was supposed to end. The business owners were not allowed to ask questions.
While Max wants to speak out against guns today. Max ignored guns in Brooklyn and didn’t take a stand. (See Here) and (Here)
Max watched as Justin Brannan posted this online. Max engages Brannan on social media a lot and he didn’t say anything to let Brannan know it wasn’t appropriate. Imagine how the 68th Precinct police felt when they saw Brannan go unchecked by the other politicians.
Congratulations to my friend @JustinBrannan on being appointed Finance Chair in the NYC Council. Southern Brooklyn and New York City will have a fighter for equity and opportunity for all with JB at the helm of this committee. https://t.co/NMOgioKwPN

Andrew Gounardes voted for changes to bail law. It took Max two years to speak out against it. (See here) Nicole Malliotakis stood up against the changes in the bail law from the start. She continued to shine a light on it. Now Mayor Adams has asked for help.
When Bergen Place had a puppy mill, Andrew and Justin failed to help the residents and the dogs. Max Rose should have stepped up. Maybe Max wasn’t called about the problem on Bergen Place, but it was in the news a lot, so he should have contacted those residents. (See here) The puppy mill moved to another part of Brooklyn, where people responded a lot better. The ASPCA took the dogs away. (See here)
Last October, Max came to Bay Ridge to take photos with Justin Brannan. He knew Brannan pushed bills for lobbyists and had let developers win here.
As this year began, Andrew Gounardes voted to gerrymander Brooklyn. Gounardes spoken out against gerrymandering for years, but he voted for a strange Congressional map that went into Park Slope so Max could have a good chance at winning.
I didn’t think Max needed to help to win an election. I was surprised he didn’t call out Gounardes about the gerrymandering because it’s ethically wrong. Instead, Max quietly opened a campaign office in Park Slope on 7th Avenue and 9th Street. (See) These guys thought they beat the system.
LOCAL SCOOP: So Max Rose’s congressional campaign took over the old Brooklyn Industries space in Park Slope — that’s a lot of rent pic.twitter.com/RmymBETDxb
— Marcus Baram (@mbaram) March 16, 2022

The courts and special master changed the maps to appease the Republicans. *The reality is if the district wasn’t changed, Max might have been able to win. Our community won’t have another opportunity to get a fair district for ten more years. Andrew Gounardes should not be running for office, as he wasn’t able to uphold the Constitution. (See here)
In April, Max Rose accepted the endorsement of Brad Lander. Max is running to represent two boroughs of NYC that are being overtaxed, AND Brad Lander pays very low property taxes. I have spoken about this with Brad Lander since 2019. (See here)
Lander has served in government for many years and refused to do anything to make an equitable tax system.
Brittany Ramos DeBarros is running against Max. Brittany said Max has refused to debate her. Why are scared politicians able to avoid the Democratic process of debating their opponent? Someone probably needs to make a law that two public debates are required for public office.
Mrs. Rose, Your grandson is beautiful. He deserves the best of everything in the world. I hope Max finds a career far away from politics and enjoys his life.
And I hope our community elects new leaders to replace those who played politics, played with lobbyists or were silent because they were too cowardly to speak out against their friends doing the wrong thing.
