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)

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.

Justin Brannan Says He is Number 2 – So Why Didn’t He Pass the Small Business Jobs Survival Act Yet?
If you received Councilman Justin Brannan’s Spring newsletter, you would have seen him tooting that he is number 2!
This should be great news for Bay Ridge small business owners, because as the new Number 2 in City Council, Justin Brannan will be able to take immediate action by putting SBJSA (Small Business Jobs Survival Act) to a vote.
SBJSA will create a fair commercial lease renewal process for small businesses. And communities won’t have to see empty storefronts all over their neighborhoods.
In 2020, Brannan was interested in helping small businesses in NYC:
Brannan introduced a bill for small businesses, but it wasn’t effective and didn’t go through. Brannan wanted owners to engage in good faith commercial rent leases. (See here) Owners aren’t going to do that, so even if Brannan’s bill went through, it wouldn’t have changed things for most businesses. Now that Justin Brannan is a NYC Council leader, he can make a major change to NYC for small businesses and bring SBJSA to a vote.
Recently, Peppino’s Restaurant in Bay Ridge let us know that it was a lot harder for businesses to make money, due to inflation. (See here)
Norma’s Arts and Crafts Store on 3rd Avenue received a large rent increase and she needed to close. (See here) If Brannan is able to get SBJSA, small businesses will be able to negotiate 10 year leases.
The bill has been in NYC Council for many years, but no one is brave enough to stand up and get it done. Corey Johnson was going to do it, but he got sidetracked and didn’t get it done. (See video)
Whose against SBJSA? REBNY – the real estate industry. Did they sidetrack Johnson? If Brannan doesn’t step up for small businesses, it will show he is a REBNY sweetheart. If you were the number 2 person in NYC Council – wouldn’t you have gotten some things done for Bay Ridge as soon as you became #2?
Brannan knows neighborhoods like ours have been waiting a long time for this bill. NYC Council need to o more to protect these small business owners.
Why haven’t local papers covered this story? Journalist don’t live in Bay Ridge, they print press releases and Justin isn’t going to tell them what he isn’t doing.
NYC Council has already researched SBJSA, so there should not be any more delays stopping this bill from passing before the Summer, especially when Brannan is #2.

Butterfly Tea at Brooklyn Brew Cafe in Bay Ridge
What a beautiful drink! This drink is called butterfly tea – it’s a color changing herbal lemon hibiscus iced tea from Brooklyn Brew Cafe!
Go grab your favorite person (yes, it might be your child) and enjoy a drink and the Spring flowers! Some of me best memories of my Dad are from doing the simplest things.
Their avacado toast looks amazing:
Brooklyn Brew Cafe is at 310 79th Street in Bay Ridge.
