Asbestos Found at 2501 – 86th Street
Senator Steve Chan shared that asbestos has been found at 2501 – 86th Street. He wrote this:
“The recent discovery of asbestos at 2501 86th Street confirms what residents and our office have feared for quite some time — that serious safety concerns surrounding this project were not being properly addressed. It is extremely troubling that asbestos was apparently present while prior inspections failed to identify or properly investigate these hazardous conditions
The Sandhu Group skirted regulations and cut corners in an effort to fasttrack the construction of a homeless shelter that local residents, elected officials and community groups have opposed since 2023. The developer has now been directed to retain a certified asbestos abatement company to safely remove the hazardous material from the site.
While the remediation company has indicated that the cleanup process may take up to one year to complete, officials believe the work can and should be completed sooner.
Our community deserves accountability, transparency, and strict compliance with environmental and construction laws. My office will continue to closely monitor and challenge this process every step of the way to ensure the safety of our community.
As a NYPD veteran, protecting the public has always been my priority, and I will continue standing with the residents of Southern Brooklyn throughout this fight.”

This used to be a cafe:
Of all locations, why does it have to be here?

13-Year-Old Pushed Off Electric Bike By a Man in Bay Ridge – 95th Street (Over Two Weeks Ago)
The Citizen App showed the information tonight.
But this happened over two weeks ago.
On Monday, April 20th, around 4:30 pm, a man pushed a 13-year-old boy off his electric bike outside of 9524 Fort Hamilton Parkway and Bay Ridge.
He didn’t steal the bike. He ran away after he pushed the child down.
Why did the man push the child on the electric bike? Something must have happened that made him act so irrationally.
The child was taken to the hospital for cuts. Today, the NYPD released the photo above.

CB 10 Land Use Committee Voted for a Zoning Change for the Staples Lot 115 Ft Building
The Community Board 10 Land Use Committee voted to give the developers at the Staples Lot a zoning change to a R7A. A R7A allows them to build to 115 feet.
The developer seemed to control this meeting. He complained that CB 10 didn’t give Tim Ziss’ development such a hard time.
CB 10’s decision and how it played out tonight seemed rehearsed.
The developer seemed to have the upper-hand because he said if the rezoning was not approved, he would build condominiums instead of rental apartments.
At the May 18th Community Board meeting, the whole board will vote on this. I’ve been watching Community Board 10 for a long time, the vote almost always goes the same way as the committee voted.
This is what this development is charging for the 88 “affordable apartments.” The other apartments in this building will be higher so they can make up the cost.
Who decides who gets the apartments will be decided by an “independent” group. They are called the 5th Avenue Committee. – it was a group that Brad Lander was involved with years ago. Isn’t that interesting how they were chosen for this project?

God Bless 94th Street. The Developer is Putting the Curb Cut on 94th Street – Instead of 5th Ave.
At the Community Board 10 Meeting tonight, the developer for the Staples Lot was so pleased to share that the existing curb cut on 5th Avenue (where you enter the Staples Parking Lot) will be closed up and people can park there. This:
If I lived on 94th Street off 5th Avenue, I would be very upset.
The developers are putting the curb cut on 94th Street so that people can enter the parking lot in the lower levels of the building.
It will be for the people who live there and the customers for the commercial stores.
Can you imagine what that is going to do to 94th Street?
The traffic that is going to hit that block is going to make people not want to live there.
The developer said the existing curb cut was 32 feet and the one they will put on 94th Street will be the same size.

Shout Out to Schnitzel Haus From Another Bay Ridge Owner
Pedro, the owner of Tacos Por Favor, shared the photo above.
Pedro went to Schnitzel Haus to show support for their new location at 114 Bay Ridge Avenue.
Look at that huge beer! I love when business owners in Bay Ridge support each other and shout each other out on social media. It’s a great way to show that the community is important to them too!
If you have never tried Tacos Por Favor at 8125 – 5th Avenue, go try it. Their tacos and salads are very fresh, delicious and fairly priced.

This light on 92nd Street and Fort Hamilton has been out for weeks.
We don’t have a council member who is active in the community, so things don’t get done in Bay Ridge.
This is near a school and it is a busy intersection. so it should be a priority.
