This morning around 7:00 am, there was a serious three-alarm fire at 5401 Seventh Avenue in Sunset Park (corner of 54th Street).
As usual, very little is written about this neighborhood – only this one story has been published. See Citizen App videos.

While the fire started around 7 am, right before 9:00 am, the firefighters were calling for more fire trucks to help fight the fire.
The fire started on the first floor. The news said they are still investigating what caused the fire.

NYC’s Covid Alert Level Was Raised to Medium
Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bath Beach are in dark red on the map. (See full map here)
On the positive side – hospitalizations for our area haven’t been high in the last 14 days (compared to Coney Island which has 25 per 10000 people)
And deaths have been down as well.

Why did NYC they raise the level? A new subvariant called BA2121 is 25% more contagious, but is not more deadly. In Upstate NY, this variant is common. NY 1 reported that there are 50 Covid patients in 11 hospitals. Only 5 people are in the ICU’s.
Transmission rates have increased in our area, so that is the reason for the raised level.
Yellow – NYC is encouraging people to wear masks indoors.

IS 322 – The School at Nathan’s on 86th Street
Work began on the lot were IS 322 – The School at Nathan’s on 86th Street in Bay Ridge. People were not happy with the traffic by this area.
A sign with a picture of the school appeared as well. A basketball court is on the side of the school. That’s not a lot of room for preteens to play.
This property has a lot of controversy because of how it was flipped for twice the price! (See here)
This article came out several month ago with a lot more information. *Two schools in our area were decided like this – without input from the community. (See here)
By now, the Brooklyn Borough President, Antonio Reynoso should have spoken to the community about this. We haven’t heard of anyone being removed from CB 10 (or stepping down).
Senator Andrew Gounrades didn’t speak out against this, as this person was also on Andrew’s transition team. (See here)

Picture from video
Around 9:40 pm tonight, there were accidents on both the Eastbound and Westbound Belt Parkway at the exit before Coney Island hospital. (See here)
People close to that area said seven cars were involved in the two accidents. No one was seriously hurt…..thank God.

Avoid 73rd Street Between 4th and 5th Avenues
A Bay Ridge resident shared that a sinkhole has been forming on 73rd Street between 4th and 5th Avenue for awhile as the city keeps patching the area (it’s been filed in four times).
Avoid this street because people are driving over it and losing mufflers and other car parts. Neighbors of the sinkhole painted the word hole and outlined it in red to warn people. It now has an orange cone.

Around 10:00 pm tonight, two cars had an accident on 19th Avenue and 74th Street in Bensonhurst. (See here)
The Citizen App says that one vehicle stalled in the middle of the intersection and the other was on the sidewalk following the collision.
We are lucky no one was on the sidewalk at the time!
