11-Story Building And a Supermarket is Being Planned for 4th Ave. and 92nd St. in Bay Ridge
Tonight, Community Board 10 heard from the team representing the developer (Tim Ziss), who wants to build an 11-story building on 4th Avenue and 92nd Street:
80% AMI isn’t truly affordable housing. The AMI — Area Median Income is too high. People earning $50k a year can’t qualify for these places. Politicians like Senator Andrew Gounardes and Councilman Justin Brannan should have spoken out about this.
Last night, they also explained that a supermarket is being planned for this new building. Community Board 10 should have shared that information online before the meeting.
Can you imagine how much traffic this building is going to bring to PS 104 at 9115 – 5th Avenue. Dropping off children and dismissal would be a nightmare with the traffic from a supermarket there.
It’s strange that NYC zonings paperwork doesn’t require an urban planner not related to the project to estimate how transportation, the air quality, noise, the sewers and school will be impacted by this new structure.
The owner Efthimios Zisimopoulos lives in the area and his office is just blocks away from this site. Why would he do this near PS 104? His team presented as if he wasn’t from our community.
Strangely, it was mentioned at the meeting that the EVGo station in Bay Ridge is not happening. The EVGo station was an electrical charging station for cars that was planned for the former Kentucky Fried Chicken lot. Shouldn’t CB 10 have known that information and shared it before the meeting?
Community Board 10 needs a new manager as the existing team is unable to load documents and information to social media. It doesn’t take more than one position to post the photo of this new building, meeting information and the ZAP documents: : https://zap.planning.nyc.gov/projects/2025K0219
CB 10’s Facebook page should have had a picture of this building and a link to the meeting today. Instead their FB page has multiple ads from Bay Ridge Cares pajama drive. #SomethingIsNotRightHere
Community Board 10 has enough people to tell the district office – “Stop with the advertisements and just post important information for the community about the rezoning.” But no one wants to say the truth because they don’t want “to offend” the people who work at the district office.
The reality: Neither the manager or head of CB 10 live in this area of Bay Ridge, so this isn’t important to them. The same happened with the City of Yes (that’s why this part of the community is part of the City of Yes and other parts of Bay Ridge are not. Info: https://is.gd/3tCRaf

Don’t Waste Time on the Park’s Department Meeting – They Don’t Use the Input
In 2020, the Parks Department had an online meeting for Owls Head Park. I went and wrote about the meeting.
Owl’s Head Park Playground Is Accepting Ideas
It’s five years later and although the park isn’t completed, you can see what the children and their parents asked for was not included in the new design. The children who attended that planning meeting are too old to play in that playground now.
All the parks in our area all look the same, but are different colors. Parks in other neighborhoods received real designs and are so charming. See beautiful designed parks:

Man Went Down Manhole on 72nd St Between 13th & 14th Ave. – 68th Pct Response VERY Slow
On Friday, December 6th, a man went down a manhole on 72nd Street between 13th and 14th Avenues at 8:41 pm. See video:
https://www.facebook.com/reel/2021328822045450
The man paced around near the manhole.
Then he opened the cover to the manhole.
The man entered the manhole and pulled the cover back on.
Residents called 911 many times. They also called the 68th Precinct directly twice and they tweeted the NYPD to try and get help.
The first call was at 8:42 pm on Friday evening (as soon as the man entered the manhole). Yet, the 68th Precinct police did not respond until 12:45 am on Saturday.
The 68th Precinct officers did not open or even investigate around the manhole. Why didn’t they call another department or someone to investigate for the community?
At 2:07 am, the man came out of the manhole – 5 hours after he had gone done the manhole. ** Amazing Brooklynites ** kept their eyes on this manhole for hours because they knew something was wrong and the police did not investigate or provide any answers.
Dyker Heights is a neighborhood with families and people are concerned about safety. People look out for each other. Thank you to the Dyker Heights residents who kept an eye on the manhole, contacted the police many times and then shared what was going on their street.
This community also loves and respects the NYPD, but they need more help and accountability from the NYPD.
This is not the first time men have gone down a manhole. What is going on? Who are they trying to rob?
Will this come back and jump in the manhole when no one is watching? This community needs an investigation.

Xiang Hot Pot at 5816 Fort Hamilton Pkwy has several price points.
65 Kuho Sushi Hot Pot at 1701 – 65th Street at is more reasonably priced and good for people who are new to hotpot. Their hotpot sushi deal is probably the best around.
