They Are Trying to Rezone This Corner with a Nine Story Building and 100 Dwellings -Whoever is Voting For this Rezoning is Heartless!
There’s a huge rezoning for New Utrecht Avenue and 71st Street – where the old bank was located.
The planned building is supposed to be nine stories and have 100 units. This is the old Capital One Bank site on 72nd and New Utrecht Avenue.
There is a public hearing on Thursday, March 9th at 7:00 pm at Il Centro at 8711 – 18th Avenue. (Why is this community meeting being held at a private club?)
Yes, it’s an old picture above with the January 2023 date.
Who represents this area and what have they said about it? Let’s see whose standing up for Brooklyn?
Councilman Brannan represents this area, but because of the recent City Council rezoning, this will not be part of the district.
These jagged district lines put this address into Alexa Aviles – District 38. That’s so strange, but a sign of gerrymandering!
Twenty-seven weeks ago – when this was Brannan’s district, Brannan wrote on social media that this was going to be rental apartments with retail shopping on the ground floor.
Why didn’t Justin Brannan tell the residents that it was going to be a nine story building with 100 units? C’MON.
This is why I do not like Councilman Brannan. Brannan is not forthcoming with information when people ask for information.
Why the Brooklyn Paper or the Home Reporter report about this rezoning, so people know what is going on?
In the Fall, neighbors of the building noted that school desks were moved into the building and that it was an all girl’s private/religious school.
The work filed for the building also said it was going to be a school (from September – see here)
The neighbors of this building had a quiet bank that closed early and was quiet on the weekends. The bank has been closed for a long time too. Now they are going to have at least 100 new neighbors – that’s not right! This building needs to be downsized.
There’s no mention of the of Community Board 11’s Meeting and this huge project on Aviles’ social media page – not Senator Iwen Chu’s or Assemblyman Chan’s social media.
Why aren’t these politicians speaking up for the home owners and residents in the area? Do they even know there is a meeting on 3/9/23?
This is what I mean about leadership – there is no one leading for the residents and home owners here.
