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:

Brooklyn Army Terminal Vaccination Center
This is a very easy site to get vaccinated at because of the free parking.
It’s open 24 hours 212-228-1000.
The vaccination site is not in the Army Terminal buildings – it’s outside at trailers. When you park in the lot, walk out and walk up the street. The entrance is on 58th Street and 1st Avenue – the address is 140 58th Street. You will see fencing with signs on it. The vaccination site is inside the fencing.
A temporary site was built on site with the entrance on 58th Street.
If you check Google maps, it’s next to the Ford of Bay Ridge Service closer to 1st Avenue.
