People in NYC Drowned in Their Basement Apartments
People, including a two-year-old child, drowned in the flash flooding two nights ago in Woodside Queens. (See here)
“A 46-year-old woman and her 22-year-old son died when floodwaters rushed into their basement home and trapped them.
NYC was set to have a pilot program in East New York to make basement apartments safer, but the Council gutted the spending during the pandemic and never restored it. (May 2020 – see here)
In September 2020, NYC Council was more interested in studying drones and didn’t do anything to restore the funding for the basement apartment program. (See here) Lobbyists were able to make a push before communities during the pandemic.
Justin Brannan sponsored the lobbyists bill in 2018, the first month he was in office. (See here)
In a 2019 article, it stated: “According to the city’s lobbying database, each of the companies have lobbied the City Council on Brannan’s bill. That seemed to surprise Brannan a bit – “I understand why those guys would support it, but this isn’t like a coordinated effort” – because he hasn’t done much lobbying for the bill. (Source) By 2020, Eric Adams and Justin Brannan were pushing for that drone bill….even during a global pandemic. Government Tech doesn’t mention the lobbyists behind the bill. (See here)

Close Your Windows – Mosquito Spraying in Bay Ridge and Dyker Tonight 9/2
NYC shared that mosquito spraying will take place in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights on September 2nd from 8pm tonight to 6:30 am tomorrow morning. (Info here)
It’s good the city is spraying for mosquitoes, but you don’t want those chemicals in your home! (Info)
Close your windows and air conditioner vents (if you have them).

We’ve seen the truck come at in the early hours of the day (around 1 or 2 am). They signal the block with an announcement and then go down the blocks and spray. Sometimes they just spray around the parks, but since they are showing the map with full blocks being sprayed, make sure to close your windows.

Dead Body Found in Sunset Park, Brooklyn
If you live in Bay Ridge, you probably have passed this cement factory on 25th Street and 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park many times.
A New York Sand and Stone employee saw a dead body floating in the Gowanus Canal outside of a cement factory on Thursday afternoon. (Storhy here)
The man was in his 40’s. They believe he died during the storm. (See story here)
I feel terrible for this man – RIP. Please pray for his family who has to hear this news of their loved one.

Unos Says They Are Following All City Covid Regulations
A chalkboard sign appeared outside of Unos in Bay Ridge which had the message: “I don’t know what I’ve been told. Covid mandates are getting old!! All are welcome.“
People were upset.
One patron shared the photo to Unos and expressed her disappointment with the family restaurant. (See here)
Unos thanked her for sharing the photo and responded that the mistake was made by a manager. Unos is following all regulations (meaning: they are checking that diners are vaccinated).

Hurricane Ida in Bay Ridge – September 1st
Steve shared this good video of Hurricane Ida in Bay Ridge tonight.
Megan shared this video of the 95th Street Train Station:
I just got home after waiting w/ friends for a Lyft after the R train had too many delays. The bar we were at closed early after some water got in (not a lot). The train station we waited in was starting to flood as we left. #flashflood #NYC #ida #brooklyn pic.twitter.com/9v1Hjr85rQ
