Years ago, we saw armed robberies happen late at night.
It’s sad to see armed robberies happening and nothing changing to stop them.

April 30, 2021Metfresh Supermarket Fire in Bay Ridge
It’s raining in Bay Ridge now.
But earlier today – right before 2:00 pm, Bay Ridge smelled like fire.
We heard the fire engines race down 3rd Avenue to 96th Street. We could tell it was serious when more trucks continued to come for the next 10 minutes.
Metfresh Supermarket had flames coming out of the roof.
Belinda shared these pictures and videos:
Still working. This is “my” grocery store…right across the street. Wishing the owners/employees the best for a quick recovery too. pic.twitter.com/imJqv5tR9e

New York’s Bravest to the rescue in #BayRidge Brooklyn today. Looked like a fire on the roof at the Met Fresh. These winds are no joke. pic.twitter.com/aS1ABeoNVR

See the dark smoke in the Citizen videos here
Thank God for the Bay Ridge firefighters – they extinguished the fire fast.
The Citizen App said there were no people in the basement of the store. A Bay Ridge resident shared some information about the roof in the comments!
The grocery store is not open due to the fire investigation, cleanup and repair needed. They are taking orders online and doing deliveries from the 4th Avenue store.
We hope MetFresh is able to restore soon!

April 29, 202199th Street Tenants in Bay Ridge Are Having Another Presser on April 30th
Last Fall, this apartment didn’t have any gas on Thanksgiving. (See here)
How are the tenants here being evicted when no one else has been evicted in NYC? Why didn’t Senator Gounardes help these tenants?

April 29, 2021Bay Ridge Home Owner Wrote to the News
A Bay Ridge resident named Bernice worked hard as a nurse and raised her family in Bay Ridge. During Covid-19, the government told tenants they didn’t need to pay their rent. Meanwhile, Bernice has been depleting her savings and retirement money. See here
Bernice wrote to the Daily News…but I think there are probably a lot of seniors in this area who are in this situation and no one is helping them.
Why isn’t the local government helping seniors? NYS gave rent relief, but didn’t do anything for property owners who are being taken advantage of now. At the beginning of COVID-19, it was understandable. While the moratorium has been extended, it is leaving people out of rental income for years. They have to pay their bills and NYS Senators have not offered any assistance!
It’s over a year later and leaders like Senator Andrew Gounardes still have not taken care of this. He will issue press releases about nonsense instead of helping. Gounardes is aware this situation exists, but it doesn’t affect him, so there is no movement on it.
There must be a lot in this position and they are stressing out over it.

April 29, 2021623 Bay Ridge Avenue for Sale
Before the pandemic, 623 Bay Ridge Parkway would be a great home to own….you could live there and rent an apartment or two.
But not due to the government this is the type of place where your tenants could live free for a year!
