Seniors Watch Out for Purse Snatcher in Foodtown in Bay Ridge
It’s November, but the NYPD decided to share this information from October with people now.
Thank you to Loudlabs Media for sharing this information with our community!
Why didn’t the 68th Precinct share this information at their meeting last month (I was there and nothing was said about this. The Captain was tooting that “crime was done.” We all know that crime isn’t down – it’s just not reported or shared with the community.
THREE ROBBERIES AT FOODTOWN AND COUNCILMAN JUSTIN BRANNAN DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING TO LET BAY RIDGE KNOW?!
It’s awful to be represented by a Councilman who collects a paycheck but doesn’t inform the community about what is going on.
INCIDENTS:
1) Saturday, October 2nd – an 80-year-old neighbor was robbed at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. The thief stoler her wallet from her purse while she was shopping. Took: $200 in case and credit cards.
2) Friday, October 15th – a 73-year-old woman was asked for directions by two people at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. One took her wallet out of her bag (credit cards, keys and $600)
3) Wednesday, October 27th an 89-year-old woman was robbed at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. They removed her purse from her walker while she was shopping ($26 and credit cards)
The fact that Councilman Brannan FAILED to step in and alert the community AND DO SOMETHING to help the seniors shows he isn’t dedicated to this community.
We should have heard this information weeks ago from our councilman, senator, the 69th Precinct and the newspapers, so that the seniors our our community are alert when shopping in Foodtown.
Oh and Foodtown should have stepped in with some help for the seniors (shopping assistants or shopping hours where ONLY seniors can shop).
Three robberies in a month is a lot! Pretending nothing happened is Justin Brannan and Andrew Gounardes MO.

Why Did Councilman Brannan Cross Spectrum’s Picket Line To Go On TV?
Since 2017, Spectrum has been on strike. Any politician appearing on Spectrum News is crossing Spectrum’s picket line.
“I know what it takes to win, I know what it takes to fight against adversity. I know what it takes to deliver for your constituents and ultimately that’s the job,” said @JustinBrannan. #MorningsOn1 pic.twitter.com/yyqR6DMVWF
— Spectrum News NY1 (@NY1) November 17, 2021

Justin Brannan is clueless why so many Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights residents voted against him.
Despite being clueless on the community, Brannan should have know better than to appear on a television station that won’t bargain with it’s workers. You either support unions OR you don’t — there is no in-between.
In March 2017, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 3 and Spectrum broke down, and 1,800 workers affiliated with the union walked off the job. Spectrum should have negotiated by now.

Woman Stabbed and Robbed – 3rd Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge
Around 8:30 pm last night, a woman was stabbed and robbed by a man on 3rd Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge.
Did the story make it to the local papers today? No. For some reason a woman being hurt in our community is not news.
The woman was stabbed in the hand. People said there was a lot of blood on the street.
UPDATE: Tonight at the 68th Precinct’s meeting the Captain said, “the thief came behind the woman and grabbed her bag. As he was trying to get away, the victim’s hand got cut. “ (Why didn’t he say: While being robbed, a woman was slashed while trying to defend herself.)
The 68th Precinct did not provide any information about the perp – not even a description. There has to be some cameras in the area that they could have released an image by now (November 18th)
Not one politician spoke about this incident publicly – it was only addressed in a private facebook group, which was shared with me. Senator Andrew Gounardes does not view the safety of the community as being important.
Brannan thinks that speaking to his friends in a group is being a leader.
While both Mrs. Brannan’s must know the information, Justin doesn’t think the community needs to know this information to be safe.
Brannan shared this message on Facebook. I am blocked from viewing this account, so I am not sure if this was the whole message.
Yes, it’s illegal for elected representatives to block constituents, but he is like the old senator – not accountable to this community.
As everyone knows, I have never spoken about the councilman’s appearance, but I have spoken out against his bills for lobbyists and his failure to act for this community (See here) and for animals in NYC. (See here) While the Bay Ridge Democrats may not like animals, we do. We hate that dogs and cats are being killed weekly because Justin Brannan was silent.

CD 43 – Brannan Won, But The Results Show Democrats Voted Against Brannan
On election night, this was the results: Fox 12,145 to Brannan 11,890

On November 8th, Justin Brannan shared that there were 1399 Democrat or Working Families Party ballots. If all of them voted for him, he would win the election by around 800 votes. There were only 280 Republican absentee ballots.
BUT I DON’T THINK THEY DID.
I think there were a lot of Democrats who are tired of the current leadership because no one is managing this area. THERE WERE!
The Post said Brannan won only by 300 votes. (See here)
This low of a margin for an incumbent says A LOT.
What happened to the 1399 Democratic/WFP absentee ballots? There were Democrats who voted for Fox.
Brannan wasn’t a gentleman after winning. The newspaper referred to him as a sore winner. (See here)
This isn’t how a man who won an election acts!
Brannan still wanted to pretend it was a Republican red wave.
Brian Fox did incredible for a man people didn’t get to hear at a debate. Many people voted for him because the neighborhood deserves someone who is interested in leading and not playing politics with their party.
Brannan’s campaign this time was not clean like his last election. He refused to debate Fox. That’s part of the process for a election. It had nothing to do with the location or who were vacinated because they could have debated outdoors. The weather was great in September and October.
Brannan didn’t want people to hear about what he wrote on Twitter before the budget vote in 2020. He thought no one had seen it. Sadly, some of his reporters had seen it and one man who writes for the local paper saw it and didn’t tell you about it either.
His supporters went low by insulting Brian Fox’s clothes and making a social media account to harass Fox, (just like we saw Republicans do to Democrats in the past).
Fox’s team stayed professional and blocked the negative comments. Brannan supporters were taking down signs. (See here) Sadly, Brannan didn’t tell his supporters to cut the nonsense.

Fire at 303 – 99th Street in Bay Ridge
On Tuesday, November 16th there was a serious fire at 303 – 99th Street just before 11:00 am.
The fire was on the 4th floor and went to the 5th floor. Residents from the 5th floor apartments shared that their apartments were completely destroyed by the fire.
The fourth floor residents apartments were destroyed by the force of the water needed to put out the fire.
Neighbors reported that the Red Cross was working in the building helping the people displaced by the fire.
The Red Cross gave some residents two nights stay in a hotel, but the residents don’t know what they are going to do after that. Some are seniors and are worried about where they will live.
** Prayers for these neighbors. ** I have not seen a GoFund Me for them yet.

Gounardes Sleep Bill Failed Bay Ridge – Residents Complain of Noise
Residents are asking who is racing down Narrows Avenue and 3rd Avenue nearly every night around 11:00 pm. You can complain all you like Bay Ridge, this has been going on for years because the leaders around her don’t think we need the police.
Residents are telling each other to get sound proofing on their windows and talking about http://citiquiet.com
Senator Andrew Gounardes bill became law and it still didn’t do anything. Gounardes should have put in a bill for tax breaks for residents to purchase sound guarding for their windows instead of putting in a silly bill that did nothing.

Hotel Plans for 86th Street Posted on The Fence
Here’s the plans for the hotel on the fence of the lot at 640 -86th Street – this is the lot where the old gas station was (see here)
Why didn’t Councilman Brannan’s newsletter tell the community that the hotel construction was starting?
The original plan was for a 95 room hotel – see here. This hotel will be across the street from the new middle school that is being built at the Nathan’s lot.
This hotel is planning to open in Fall 2023.
Notice the hotel’s logo on the side is Avid Hotel, which had plans for the area for awhile.
Avid Hotel in Boston
The Avid Hotel is part of the IGH group. These hotels are near airports. The photo above is the Avid Hotel in Boston. (photos of rooms here)
Newspapers aren’t sharing this information because reporters for the area don’t live here in Bay Ridge or they are pumping up a political party and don’t want to discuss how the community found out about this project from a website – not the local representatives.
In March 2020, the developer filed a permit for the hotel. We questioned why a website was telling Bay Ridge about the hotel and not the elected Councilman. Councilman Brannan wrote this online:
Obviously the developer didn’t like what Brannan had to say because a hotel is being built here.
Councilman Brannan continued to tell residents that this lot wasn’t going to be a hotel.
Hotel owners want to make money by housing the homeless through the city’s program. People from Manhattan were bused to Downtown Brooklyn to be housed in a boutique hotel. (See here)
Eric Adams wants to changed 25,000 hotels rooms into affordable housing – see here.
In 2019, Brannan wrote that he was meeting with the developer of this lot. Why didn’t Brannan address the community about this development in 2019 or 2020 – when he had information?
Senator Andrew Gounardes also represents the area and has never mentioned a hotel being built on 86th Street – when you vote for people make sure they care about the community they are trying to represent.
If you think Eric Adams is going to be any different, think again:
