Queens DeaDline
De Blasio Holds Town Hall In Bayside
By Lynn Edmonds
Staff Writer
Mayor Bill de Blasio appeared in
Queens on Monday night for a town
hall meeting in Bayside.
Members of the audience in Bayside, a neighborhood considered to
lean politically right of de Blasio’s
progressivism, were largely respectful
and warm to the mayor. The crowd
clapped, if not effusively, for many of
his answers, and during one moment
of criticism they responded with equal
parts boos and cheers.
In his introductory remarks, de
Blasio praised host and moderator
Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside),
before touted his legacy program, universal Pre-kindergarten, as well as Vision Zero, his affordable housing initiatives for seniors, the 2,000 additional
NYPD officers he approved in the budget, and job growth in Queens.
In the Q&A, Warren Schreiber,
president of the Bay Terrace Community Alliance, asked the mayor to reduce property taxes on co-ops, which
he said were taxed unfairly compared
to homes.
The mayor responded by saying,
“Any solution, I believe this strongly,
photo by Lynn Edmonds
De Blasio came to Bayside on Monday night.
has to be across the entire property tax
system.”
He pledged not to increase property tax rates in the meantime.
Bob Friedrich, President of the Glen
Oaks Village and a former candidate
for city council in the 23rd District,
seconded Schreiber’s concerns about
taxes on co-ops, and criticized inclusionary zoning and pop-up homeless
shelters in small hotels.
“Now your inclusionary zoning program is threatening to undo all the hard
won battles that we fought down-zoning
our communities,” Friedrich said.
“First of all I don’t know why you
say that about inclusionary zoning,”
de Blasio responded. “We’re not trying to undo downzoning, we’re trying
to create affordable housing where it’s
appropriate and require developers to
create affordable housing for people
who need it.”
The mayor said he wasn’t happy to
turn hotels into emergency shelters,
but he felt it was the only option.
Another resident said he thought
the City Council members’ recent pay
raise was a waste of taxpayer dollars,
calling it a direct insult on everyone in
an already overburdened community.”
De Blasio said that it had been a decade since they last received a pay increase, that the council members had
given up the right to outside income
and lulus, and that they had a lot of
responsibility as representatives of an
entire district.
Three times, audience members
raised the issue of aircraft noise,
whether from helicopters or airplanes.
De Blasio said he would work with
the community to advocate to reduce
helicopter noise.
Susan Carroll, a representative on
the aviation roundtable, brought up
airplane noise, as did Janet McEneaney,
President of Queens Quiet Skies.
“Why has the city taken a backseat
on the airplane noise and pollution issue? Because the city owns the lands on
which the airports are situated,” Carroll said. “I’d like to see a more proactive stance from the Mayor.”
“I don’t like it when a community
feels afflicted by noise, especially if

Ex-Schools Chancellor Is New Library CEO
By Jon Cronin
Staff Writer
The Queens Library Board of Trustees’ has selected former NYC Schools
Chancellor Dennis Walcott as the new
President and CEO of the Queens Library, to take office on March 14.
Upon hearing of his appointment,
Walcott said, “I look forward to working with all the fantastic, creative, dynamic staff and Friends and visiting
every community library, meeting and
Dennis Walcott was appointed

listening to their ideas and participating in initiatives that make life better
and richer for their neighborhoods.
I have been a lifelong patron of the
Queens Library and wholeheartedly
believe in the mission of this great institution.”
Walcott has a long career in education. For the past six months he led
a team of state appointed monitors
in the East Ramapo school district in
Rockland County, whose school board
had been investigated for underfunding public schools.
He also served for
three years as NYC
Schools Chancellor
under Mayor Michael
Bloomberg and for
nine years as NYC
Deputy Mayor of
Education. Walcott
also hold a bachelor’s
and master’s degree
in Education.
“At its core, the
Queens Library exists to serve its educational purpose as
a community hub
of learning, literacy
and culture for millions of families,” said
Borough
President
FiLE photo Melinda Katz of the
the new CeO Queens Library Board
of Trustees appoint-
ment and added, “Queens is grateful to the Board of Trustees for their
dedication in convening an extensive
search and selection process for the
new President and CEO. I have full
faith in the direction and future of the
Library, and look forward to the great
things to come under Dennis’ leadership.”
Interim CEO and President Bridget
Quinn-Carey announced in early December that she would not pursue the
position.
Quinn-Carey took over after
Thomas Galante was ousted during
an investigation for misappropriation
of funds. Quinn-Carey removed her
name from candidacy and stated, “It
was my job to continue the great work
of this distinguished institution during one of the Library’s most difficult
times. I believe that I have not only
succeeded in steadying the institution,
but with the support of an extraordinary team, have significantly advanced
the Library’s goals.
I am proud that I have helped to
create a solid new foundation based on
transparency and advocacy that will
benefit millions of Library users for
decades to come. While one can never
say that their work for a constantly
evolving and living institution like
the Queens Library is ever complete,
I am nevertheless satisfied with what
we have achieved together and I have
decided not to pursue the position of
President and CEO. I will return to my
role of Chief Operating Officer after
the new CEO is appointed.”
City Council Majority Leader
Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside),
Chair of Cultural Affairs and Libraries Committee and former Chief External Affairs Officer of the Queens
Public Library, released the following
statement on Mr. Walcott’s appointment:
“I congratulate Dennis Walcott on
his appointment as CEO of the Queens
Library. As the Chair of the Council’s
Cultural Affairs and Libraries Committee, former Chief External Affairs
Officer of the Queens Library, and a
person whose early life was shaped by
access to its Broadway Library in Astoria, I’m glad that the Library has chosen a proud Queens resident to lead
the institution with a steady hand. Mr.
Walcott brings to the Queens Library
not only the skills gained over an impressive career as the Deputy Mayor
for Education and Schools Chancellor,
but also his deep personal love for our
borough’s library system.”
Van Bramer noted that he worked
closely with Walcott’s wife when she
was a member of the first board of the
Friends of Cambria Heights Library
and learned then how much Walcott
cares for the institution.

PepsiCola Sign Headed For Landmark Status
By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
The famed PepsiCola sign on the
Long Island City waterfront is on its
way to becoming a landmark.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the 80-year-old
icon in Gantry Plaza State Park to be
“prioritized as a landmark.”
The sign was originally build on the
roof of a Pepsi bottling plant in Long
Island City in 1936. The plant is long
gone, but the sign has been moved
several times and ended up in its current location overlooking the East
River in the 1990s. In 2013, an apartment building was constructed behind
the sign.
The PepsiCola sign was one of dozens of potential landmarks considered
at the meeting as the LPC considered a
backlog of potential landmarks.
There were four special hearings
held on the backlog last Fall to give the
public an opportunity to testify and
submit information on the calendared
properties. The Commission heard
almost 12 hours of verbal testimony
from more than 300 speakers as well
as having received additional written
testimony submitted by the public.
While at the public meeting, LPC staff
presented summaries of the testimony
and written submissions for each item
along with the agency’s research and
recommendations. The Commission
made decisions on all of the backlog
properties, including the Pepsi Cola
sign.
Most of the backlog properties
have been on the calendar for 20 years
or more, a fact that led to the Commission deciding to prioritize 30 properties by the end of 2016. They also voted
to remove five sites from the calendar
based on their lack of merit and they
removed an additional 43 sites from
the calendar because of site-specific issues by giving them No Action Letters,
which allows them to be placed on the
calendar at a future date if new information or historical interest in them
arises. The Commission explained
that these sites were removed because
of questions regarding their relative
significance, alterations that have reduced sites’ historical features and the
presence of other regulatory controls
that serve to protect the structures
from future alterations or demolition.
After considering feedback from
stakeholders, including preservationists, architects, developers, community boards, property owners and elected
officials as well as the Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, the agency was able to establish a plan to address the back log accurately and allow
input from the public. The three-phase
plan to handle the backlog includes a

Noise Advocate Worries About Infighting
By Lynn Edmonds
Staff Writer
Ahead of the March 10 Aviation
Roundtable meeting, one member was
worried that the group was so mired in
infighting that its greater purpose – to
successfully lobby the Federal Aviation Authority – was getting lost.
Susan Carroll, a representative on
the roundtable committee, said she
feared that while the group was arguing over whether there should be two
separate roundtables for LaGuardia
and JFK, the FAA was moving ahead
full-throttle on initiatives that nobody
in the group supported.
“My personal take on it is that bylaws can be amended,” Carroll said.
“The FAA is continuing to change flight
paths. Those aren’t as easy to roll back.”
The controversy over the bylaws,
and specifically whether there should
be one or two roundtables, began at
the first meeting airport roundtable
meeting on April 28, 2014.
A month prior, Gov. Andrew Cuomo had directed the Port Authority to
take several initiatives to address airplane noise. One of them was “community roundtable discussions.”
Though the press release spoke of
two airport roundtables, President of
Queens Quiet Skies Janet McEneaney
said she had documentation showing
Cuomo had originally called for one.
File photo
Barbara Brown, left, and Janet McEneaney, were elected co-chairs
of the aviation roundtable in April 2014
She felt there was a danger that two
roundtables would create a zero-sum
mindset with the two airports pitted
against each other, rather than encouraging a mindset that reduced the
noise altogether.
“Roundtable members – this is a
very important principle – they agree
that we will not shift noise from one
community to another,” The Queens
Chronicle quoted McEneany as saying
during the first meeting.
But Barbara Brown, President of
the Eastern Queens Alliance, said that
JFK had additional concerns that were
unique to that airport.
“If Newark has a roundtable, JFK
should have a roundtable, so should
LaGuardia,” Brown was quoted as saying in the Queens Tribune’s sister paper, Press of southeast Queens.
Now, nearly two years since the
roundtable formed, the group has not
reached a resolution.
“Everybody is very passionate
about this issue,” Carroll said. “But
this is a fight that’s been going on for
two years, which I thought was re-
solved two years ago.”
She added that she found the recent
re-ignition of the debate to be “a very
big setback.”
But McEneaney, who was amongst
those who brought the issue back to
the forefront, said the one-versus-two
issue, and other changes in the bylaws,
were too big to let pass.
“The difference is so crucial and the
outcome is so crucial, that we’re not
going to really have a roundtable under these proposed bylaws,” she said.
“What they’ve done is they’ve dumbed it downed, they’ve eviscerated it,
they’ve turned it into a power grab.”
In their different stances, both
McEneaney and Carroll said they
wanted unity.
“If we can’t even have a unified
voice then I’m not sure what we’re going to accomplish,” Carroll said.
As long as the debate over bylaws
continued, “we have no mechanism” to
address legislation, Carroll stressed.
Recent and upcoming legislative
issues include the lifting of the perimeter rule, which says that planes
flying more than 1,500 cannot use the
airport, at LaGuardia airport, and the
FAA reauthorization bill.
“I fear what is going to happen at
the March 10th meeting,” Carroll said.

Steady Leadership For
The Library
We must admit, the choice of former Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott to be the new CEO of the Queens Library took us by surprise.
But Walcott, a Queens native and resident, has experience coming
into an organization in turmoil and providing the necessary steady
leadership
Walcott became Schools Chancellor after a short, disastrous tenure by
Cathie Black. While the two years he was at the helm were not without
their controversies, Walcott’s leadership style was rightly praised for
bringing a sense of stability and thoughtfulness to the department.
Case in point. Less than a month after Hurricane Sandy, then-Chancellor Walcott joined then-Mayor Bloomberg and other citywide officials
at PS 207 in Howard Beach, a school so badly damaged by Sandy, it
remained closed for two months after the storm. When he pulled up in
front of the school and got out of the car, he was confronted by several
angry parents and their children, who felt the city had not provided
adequate information on when the school would reopen. In a calm,
comforting voice, Walcott explained to the parents the situation and,
just like a teacher would, he took the children over to the pumps that
were clearing the oil that spilled in the schools’ basement during the
storm, and explained how the school was being repaired.
That moment showed the type of collected and thoughtful leadership Walcott brought to the Department of Education. We appreciated
the steady hand he brought to the DOE.
Coming out of a scandal that rocked the Queens Library and threatened its funding, a strong, steady leader is needed. We believe Walcott
is the person to provide that. We look forward to seeing the Queens
Library grow and prosper under Dennis Walcott. We also thank the
Borough President for her leadership and wise decisions in revamping
the structure and policies of the library.

Housing Court: Landlords’
Court Or Tenants’ Court
By Hon. GeorGe M. HeyMann
The simple answer to the question of
whether Housing Court is a landlords’
court or a tenants’ court depends on
which side of the judicial equation
you find yourself. Naturally, landlords
believe that the court is skewed in favor
of the tenants, while the tenants believe
the contrary is true.
In NYC Housing Court, there are
three types of matters that are heard on
a daily basis: nonpayment proceedings
for tenant(s)’ failure to pay rent, which
comprise approximately 80 percent of
the cases, and the balance split between
holdover proceedings, which are the
catchall cases involving tenant(s)’
alleged violations of the lease obligations; and HP proceedings involving
building violations, including heat and
hot water issues from October through
May, as well as alleged harassment
of tenants by the landlord. While the
first two proceedings are commenced
by the landlord against the tenant, the
matters in the HP part are commenced
by either the Department of Housing
Preservation and Development (HPD)
and/or the tenant against the landlord.
In each instance, the burden of proving
a prima facie case rests with the party
commencing the proceeding.
While all cases in the Housing
Court are denominated as “summary
proceedings” because they were created
by statute and designed to be resolved
quickly, the reality is that many, if not
most, matters can remain active for
six months or more, which is a virtual
boon to the tenant seeking to avoid or
forestall an eviction.
As there are only 50 Housing Court
judges citywide, divided among the 5
counties, daily calendars in each part
can have at least 50 to 60 cases as a
minimum with as many as 80 to 100.
Thus, dispensing “justice” by the court is
no easy task. Overcrowded courtrooms
spill into even more crowded hallways,
where most of the “negotiating” between the parties takes place. Clearly
not a desirable setting for litigants to
have their “day in court”. In order to
dispose of this high volume of cases,

most matters result in stipulations that
are then reviewed by the judge’s court
attorney and thereafter allocated on
the record by the judge. The remaining
matters are either heard that day by
the judge, as time permits, or further
adjourned for a hearing on the already
calendared motions or set down for
trial. Among the numerous arguments
scheduled daily are the orders to show
cause (OSC), brought by the tenants
subsequent to entering into stipulations
where the terms they previously agreed
to cannot be met, to avoid imminent
eviction. Every time a tenant obtains
an OSC, the proceeding or execution of
the warrant is further stayed, generally
seven days from the signed application.
On each such adjourned date, there is
often another stipulation with new terms
and compliance dates, further extending
any possible eviction.
In those instances where a landlord
has obtained a final judgment, either
by way of agreement or after trial or
inquest (where the tenant fails to appear to answer the petition), he or she
must then get a marshal to execute on
the warrant, which requires yet further
notice to the tenant(s) prior to any
scheduled eviction. Therefore, in those
instances where tenants bring multiple,
successive OSCs, there is great frustration on the part of the landlord, having
successfully gone through the costly
and timely process to legally regain
his or her property, only to see those
efforts constantly thwarted.
Here, in Queens, land of the twofamily homeowner and small landlords
trying to make ends meet, the burden to
comply with all the rules and regulations
to legally rent an apartment or portion
of their home is daunting. Even more
so when they end up in Housing Court
with tenants who don’t pay their rent
or are no longer desirable for various
other reasons.
Confronted by a myriad of intertwining statutes and regulations, landlords,
large and small, must make sure their
buildings and rental units are up to
code and have proper Certificates of

106th Precinct’s
Commanding
Officer Moves On
BY JoN CRoNiN
Staff Writer
Deputy Inspector Jeffrey Schiff, the
highly esteemed 106th Precinct Commanding Officer, will be moving on to
the 105th Precinct in Bellerose, a position that will put him in charge of an
area and police force that is double the
size. Captain James Fey, former executive officer of the 103rd Precinct in Jamaica, will be taking over in his first
command.
Schiff, who has been at the 106th
since September 2013, said, “I got
the call yesterday [Monday] evening
at 6:30 and was told effective at midnight, I would be commanding officer
of the 105th Precinct.”
Of his new post, Schiff noted that
he grew up in Bellerose and that the
job, although not an increase in rank,
is a much larger command. He is honored that the NYPD believes it’s a job
he can handle. “It’s not a promotion,
but it’s a major step in the right direction,” he said.
In a heartfelt two-page goodbye letter to the community, the civic leaders
and to the officers under his command
Schiff wrote, “On the one hand, I am
extremely happy that my superiors
have full faith and confidence in my
abilities to lead the venerable 105th
Precinct which is double in size, double in personnel, at least double in
square miles, and, of course, double in
responsibility. Their belief in me was
borne out of the 106th Precinct’s EXCELLENT performance under my two
Deputy inspector Jeffrey Schiff
plus years here as the Commanding
Officer. This new assignment is a MAJOR step up in my career which could
not have been achieved without the
fantastic, hard work conducted by the
men and women of the 106th Precinct
with the full cooperation and support
from the community, the elected officials, and civic leaders.”
Regarding his the growth in the
precinct’s relationship with the community he wrote, “From the beginning,
I contended that I (we) would only
be successful if we worked together.
Well, it looks like I was right. The increased, effective cooperation that we
have attained between the Police and
the Community has helped to make
the 106th Precinct a safer and better
place to live and work. We’ve learned
a lot from each other and our mutual
respect and friendship has grown in
leaps and bounds. How can I not be
reluctant in leaving?”
He went on to note that robberies
went down by 17 percent in 2014 and
a further three percent in 2015 in the
106th Precinct. Overall crime went
down by six percent in 2014 and although there were some great strides
made in 2015, the precinct was a victim of their own success and missed
their goal by nine felonies. In 2016, he
wrote, the precinct is down 14 percent
year to date.
Fey will be introducing himself to
the community at the Thursday, March
3 Community Board 10 meeting.
Schiff first came to fame tweeting
as commanding officer of the 76th
Precinct in Brooklyn when the NYPD
was under the leadership of Ray Kelly. Kelly did not like that Schiff had
started a Twitter account for his precinct and asked him to stop posting.
When Bill Bratton took over, Schiff
petitioned that all precincts should
have Twitter to become a more transparent police and let the public know
what they are doing on a daily basis.
Bratton approved.
The Howard Beach-Lindenwood
Civic Association posted on their Facebook page, “The Civic would like
to wish our outgoing Commanding Officer, Deputy Inspector Jeffrey
Schiff Godspeed at his new command.
You became CO during our community’s worst of times and brought back
law, order and a sense of safety to our
residents. Thank you for working so
closely with the community partners
in the 106th’s command. You always
have a friend in us. All the best!”

Elmhurst Building
Damaged By Storm
YveTTe BRoWN
Staff Writer
A building in a busy section of
Elmhurst suffered some minor damage in a storm last week.
The Verizon building at Broadway
and Vietor Avenue faced some damage after powerful winds tore off a
chunk of the outer shell of the building around 1 a.m. on Feb. 25. No one
was hurt, but six cars were damage by
the chuck of building on Vietor Avenue.
he Department of Buildings had
checked out the building to clear it
and make sure it was safe for people to
be in or around the building. Employees who work in the building were able
to return to work without issues.
Workers were on site the day after
cleaning up the wreckage that the outer
shell had caused when it fell off the building. They escorted passersby around the
site to ensure safety. While the building did damage to a few cars below it, no
one in the surrounding area heard any
of the noise it may have caused.
Last week’s storm also caused a
number of power outages in the metropolitan area and knocked down a
number of trees, which blocked several Queens streets.

Assemblywoman Clark Laid To Rest
By Trone DowD
Staff Writer
Former Assemblywoman Barbara
Clark was laid to rest Monday morning, leaving behind one of the strongest and most influential political
legacies in Southeast Queens.
The funeral was held at the Greater
Allen A.M.E. Cathedral in Jamaica and
attended by hundreds of political leaders, families, friends and constituents
city and statewide. The service was
held by Rev. Henry Simmons of the St.
Albans Congregational Church.
Clark was born in Beckley, WV in
1939. After meeting her high school
sweetheart, Thomas Clark in 1957, she
moved to Cambria Heights in 1961.
She began her life as a public servant in 1987, when elected to the office of New York State Assembly
representing the 33rd district, which
includes Bellerose, Cambria Heights,
Hollis and St. Albans. As the first
woman elected to the position at the
time, Clark brought a new perspective
to the Albany as an assemblywoman.
“Assemblywoman Clark is a mentor to me,” New York City Public
Advocate Letitia James said last week
of the late public servant. “All those
years, as you know, it was a ‘man’s
zone.’ Barbara Clarke used to walk
into meetings that were filled with

What People Put Down On A New Home In Nyc
BY MiCHAEl STAHl
StreetEasy recently gathered and
analyzed public mortgage data from
the New York City Department of Finance in an effort to locate neighborhood differences in new home down
payments. The site
unveiled their findings in the form of
an interactive map,
outlining the wide
variety of down
payment amounts
in sections across
the city, separating
stats on condo and
townhouse sales in
2015.
Queens buyers provide far less
money up front when closing on a
home when compared to those in
Manhattan and Brooklyn. The typical
down payment for a Queens home
is $124,406, or 26.7 percent of the
sales price, while Manhattanites lay
out $447,398 — 30.6 percent of the
sales price — up front. Brooklyn buyers relieve themselves of $176,250
— 25 percent of the sales price in a
down payment; however, Bronx homeowners pony up just 20 percent.*
“Since home values are … much
lower in the Bronx compared to the
rest of the city,” John Wiley, a site
data scientist wrote in the map’s corresponding blog post, “the typical
down payment there translates to
roughly $25,200. This is far more approachable for many first-time buyers who may have a limited budget.”
Wiley also noted that Bronx transactions fall in line with trends throughout the United States, where the typical down payment hovers around 20
percent. Thus, most
New Yorkers save
up sizable amounts
of money in preparation for purchasing a home compared to the rest of
country.
This fact proved
especially
true
throughout Queens’
eastern enclaves last year. According to Alan Lightfeldt, another data
scientist at StreetEasy, “There are
a lot of big savers … in neighborhoods like East Flushing, Flushing,
Queensboro Hill and Corona [where]
the median down payment size exceeded 35 percent. With more saved
up and low sale prices relative to the
rest of the city, the decision to buy a
home in numerous parts of Queens
would makes financial sense relatively quickly for many buyers.”
Typical down payments on condos
in Western Queens hotspots Astoria
and Long Island City were 22.4 percent and 25 percent of the sales prices, respectively, which worked out to
$112,100 and $217,500. People purchasing a house in Astoria provided

The boroughs broken down by median down payment.
22.1 percent ($181,995) of the sales
price up front, while that same figure
exceeded 30 percent ($201,936) in
LIC.
Like buyers in the Bronx, down
payments in Maspeth, Ridgewood,
Glendale, and Jamaica were around
the national average of 20 percent
in both condo and house sales, all
among the Queens neighborhoods
with the lowest such number.

Pols Place Focus On Sports And
Arts In City Schools
BY LYNN EDMONDS, STAFF WRITER
second grader dribbling a
soccer ball and sporting a
huge smile may be one of
the cutest sights, and it’s even
more heartwarming when the person they’re passing the ball to is a
professional player who is going
easy so they can teach Queens’
kids how to improve their game.
A

children. The state was mandated to
increase their funding for education
by a total of $5.5 billion between 2007
and 2011. But after two years the state
froze the program, and schools never
received the bulk of the funding.
That made the soccer clinic more
than just a fun opportunity for the kids
to practice soccer with professional
players. Instead, it was also a case of
a private corporation, the New York
Cosmos, plugging a gap in a public
service.
“I’m trying to figure out ways that
we can really leverage private-public
partnerships,” Rozic said.
The clinic itself was organized chaos, with children zigzagging in every
direction. Most of them seemed to be
Photos by Lynn Edmonds
But the free soccer clinic for kids
at PS 120 in Flushing, hosted by the
New York Cosmos on Feb 11, wasn’t
just a cute event. It was a joint attempt
by educators and legislator Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D-Fresh Meadows)
to get around a lack of funding for New
York City public schools, especially
when it comes to arts and sports.
These aspects of the curriculum
can often receive short shrift, despite
studies indicating that they have significant positive impacts on children’s
physical health, mental wellbeing,
brain development, social skills and
academic performance.
It was an issue that other legislators in the area were grappling with as
well.
On Feb. 12, at PS 173, Councilman Rory Lancman (D-Hillcrest) held
a press conference to draw attention
to a lack of funding for music education.
Twenty-five percent of the schools
in his Council district had no music
education programs at all, Lancman
said, even though it is mandated by
state law.
And even the schools that did have
music education sometimes required
the students to pay extra in order to
get access to those programs.
Blue ribbon school PS 173 was a
case in point, despite the principal’s
best intentions and the fact that they
were one of the schools in the district lucky enough to have a full time
music teacher.
There was only funding for half the
instruments in the orchestra, Principal
Molly Wang said.
“We don’t have money to give to the
rental; the parents pay for the rental of
the instruments so that we can have a
full orchestra,” she explained.
Lancman said he feared this could
leave some children excluded.
“I’m sure somewhere, at some
time, some kid wanted to be in a music program, and went home to mom
and dad, and was told ‘we just don’t
have the money fort this,’” he said.
“We’re really created a bit of a tale of
two educational systems, even within
the public school system.”
Lancman said it was up to the City
to increase funding for music education. He pointed to the fiscal crisis
in 1970, when the budget for music
teachers was cut, as a point of origin
for the problem.
“Music education has yet to recover even though the economy did,” his
press release states.
Now, he said, it was time to do
more.
“It’s what’s required by the law, it’s
what makes academic sense and it’s
what our kids deserve,” Lancman concluded.
Rozic, on her part, focused her efforts on extracting funding from the
state.
“My district is owed about $43 million in terms of resources for after
school programming and in school
equipment and classroom trainings,”
Rozic said.
The $43 million number that Rozic
cited was the result of a ruling on the
Campaign for Fiscal Equity vs. The
State of New York. The lawsuit, which
was settled in 2006, ended with New
York’s Court of Appeals ruling that the
state was not doing its duty in provid-
beginners, and they struggled to keep
pace with unruly soccer balls that
threatened to escape their control and
roll across the gym floor.
When it came time to the question and answer session with players
Danny Szetela, Eric Calvillo and Lucky
Mkosana, the children were rapt.
“How did it turn out when you
played soccer for the first time?” One
boy asked the players.
“I wasn’t very good,” midfielder
Szetela answered. “I had older brothers and when I had the ball they tried
to take the ball from me.”
“They hurt me a little bit, by kicking me to get the ball, but, it was fun.
That’s what made me the player I am
today,” he added.
For many of the students, it may
have been a pertinent question. Principal Robert Marino said that prior to
the 2015-2016 school year, PS 120
did not have a licensed physical education teacher.
The way Marino saw it, giving kids
the exposure to sports might be a key
aspect of advocating for more sports
programs implemented in the future.
“There are a lot of obstacles when
you’re trying to implement any type of
a sport. The one way to get around
those obstacles, or at least, to, get
over them, is to spark interest in children,” Marino said. “Through that interest comes ways to get around budget
and time and space.”
Meanwhile, education advocates
haven’t given up on getting more funding for New York State’s schools.
The same lawyer who brought the
Campaign for Fiscal Equity case, Michael Rebell, is working on a new one,
New Yorkers for Students’ Educational
Rights.
“We tried dealing with this politically and didn’t get too far with governor
Cuomo and all, so we did bring a new
case to try and get satisfaction there,”
Rebell said.
Oral arguments were heard by the
Appellate court on Feb. 24.

Holliswood’s Hot Topic:
Residents Fret Over
Development Plan At
Hospital Site
PLANS COURTESY OF HOLLISWOOD CIVIC ASSOCIATION
BY LYNN EDMONDS Staff Writer
S
ome Holliswood
residents are
profoundly upset about
plans for a new development
in their neighborhood
that would put 31 condo
units and 20 homes on the
former Holliswood Hospital
property.
Steve Cheung, a real estate developer with properties in Long Island
City, Elmhurst, Flushing and Ridgewood - including the former Aloft
hotel - bought the property in July for
$10.9 million, is responsible for the
plans.
Opponents of the development say
that the multitude of dwellings would
ruin the character and beauty of the
neighborhoods, which is one of the
most picturesque, spacious and leafy
in all of Queens.
“The proposed condo is a MAJOR
distortion of the character of HOLLISWOOD,” a newsletter from Linda
Valentino, President of the Hollis-
wood Civic Association, said. “In my
opinion, it constitutes a substantial
deterioration of our bucolic Queens
neighborhood. As presently contemplated, this cookie-cutter project will
definitely bring noise, pollution and
congestion to the area.”
Valentino added that the outdoor
parking would make the area look
like “a parking lot or a used car dealership.”
Each house on the neighborhood’s
winding roads has its own architectural style, is set far back from the road,
and surrounded by trees, shrubs, and
other landscaping. There are no cars
parked on the street.
In fact, there are very few cars at all.
In the middle of a March day, only
two cars drove by the Holliswood
Hospital property in a fifteen minute
time period, and one of the them was
a van driving on to the property itself,
where workers had begun to clean the
interior of the old hospital.
The new development would increase the population density of the
area, with smaller lots - still generous
by most neighborhoods’ standards –
and more tightly packed houses. And
Plans for the development of Holliswood Hospital.
with current architectural blueprints
for the new development showing
parking spots for up to 131 cars, the
planned development would almost
undoubtedly increase traffic.
In an effort to stop these changes to
the neighborhood, the civic released
a petition against the proposal for the
site of the former rehabilitation center for individuals dealing with substance abuse.
“If builders are allowed to come
into neighborhoods where people
work hard to maintain the beauty
and value of their homes, I feel it is an
assault on the American Dream,” the
petition reads.
Holliswood is an R1-2 district.
While constructing the freestanding
houses would not require a zoning
variance, the condos would.

Report: Buying Beats Renting After 3 Years in Queens
BY MICHAEL STAHL
W
hen does it make
the most sense
to buy in New
York as opposed to renting?
That’s a question StreetEasy
posed to its data scientists, who analyzed 2015 sales price and rent rate
statistics for more than 300 neighborhoods across the five boroughs.
They contrived a “tipping point” for
each neighborhood, representing
the number of years it would take
for the accumulated costs of renting
a home to either equal or exceed the
costs of buying a comparably sized
home in the same area. Then, the
site’s team computed median fig-
ures for each borough and the city
as a whole. In a press release last
month, StreetEasy revealed that
residents in Queens can rent for less
time — three years — before making a financially responsible call to
buy when compared to people in
any other borough. The median tipping point for all of New York is 4.9
years.
“Relatively low sales prices combined with the fact that the typical Queens buyer puts down a 26.7
percent down payment, means the
rent vs. buy decision tips in the
favor of buying in a much shorter
time period than other boroughs,”
Alan Lightfeldt, one of the site’s
data scientists wrote in an email
to the Tribune. “In an area like
Manhattan, the cost of homes is
prohibitively high in many neighborhoods, contributing to a higher
tipping point.”
Some of the city’s sections with
the lowest tipping points are set
in Queens, including Alley Park,
which includes Oakland Gardens
and Bayside Hills (1.1 years), Howard Beach (1.4 years) and Briarwood
(1.5 years).
Lightfeldt also wrote that there
is less variation in tipping points
between Queens neighborhoods
because prices around the borough
are relatively similar. “Resale prices
in Manhattan and Brooklyn vary
widely by comparison,” he added.
“The median resale price exceeds $1
million in only one neighborhood–
Douglaston,” which, correspondingly, is the Queens neighborhood
with the highest tipping point, 6.5
years. Long Island City (6.1 years)
and Fresh Meadows (5.8 years)
round out Queens’ top three.

Queens Priciest and
Most Affordable
Neighborhoods Revealed
By MICHAEL STAHL
I
n an exclusive study
conducted for the
Queens Tribune,
StreetEasy.com determined
the median price per
square foot (PPSF) of real
estate across 34 Queens
neighborhoods. The site
compiled and analyzed 2015
sales data from the New
York City Department of
Finance, looking only at
sections that saw at least 10
closings last year.
As one might expect, Long Island
City remained the borough’s most
expensive neighborhood, and by a
wide margin. Its $1,069 PPSF topped
second-place Astoria’s figure by an astonishing $354 and was just $100 shy
of what the borough’s five cheapest
neighborhoods cost combined.
LIC’s PPSF actually exceeded what
people paid last year in the posh
Brooklyn enclave Park Slope ($1,033
PPSF) and was just $2 shy of the cost
of real estate in Manhattan’s elite Upper East Side. “LIC has come a long
way,” StreetEasy data scientist Alan
Lightfeldt said in a recent interview.
“To be on par with [those sections]
speaks volumes about how much
more attractive this neighborhood
has become. It’s a fairly matured and
developed real estate market.”
Lightfeldt added that the reasons
behind LIC’s real estate cost explosion
is “obviously its proximity to Manhattan,” as well as the fact that much of
the property there is relatively new.
The median price per square foot
throughout Queens reached $447 last
year, with LIC, Astoria ($715), Ridgewood ($661), Whitestone ($526), Murray Hill ($499), Queensboro Hill ($486),
Middle Village ($470) and Clearview
($453) representing the only neighborhoods that saw a median PPSF beyond
the borough’s median mark.
Lightfeldt said that Astoria benefitted from its proximity to LIC and its
easy access to mass transit. “When
looking in Queens, buyers are first
looking at Long Island City and Astoria,” he added. “If they can’t afford
a section, they’ll take their search one
or two neighborhoods over.”
Ridgewood is among the many
Queens areas that, according to
Lightfeldt, “has seen a recent transformation” and a surge of younger
residents moving in. “Ten years ago
it was kind of an unknown neighborhood to anyone who didn’t live in
Queens,” Lightfeldt said, “but now it’s
the new Bushwick of sorts. We’re seeing a lot more retail opening up there,
a lot more restaurants, and these are

Occupancy in order to legally
rent to tenants. In return, the only
burden on the tenant is to pay their
rent timely and refrain from breaching
the obligations set forth in the lease.
However, those landlords who do
not meet these standards and market
illegal apartments and those tenants
who, knowingly or unknowingly, rent
them, are both at risk if the landlordtenant relationship begins to unravel
and the law gets involved.
A lease is a contract and when
breached by either party, there are
consequences. If landlords do not provide housing in accordance with the
provisions of the lease, they can be issued
violations and required to pay fines that
can be quite substantial if conditions
that need to be corrected go unabated,
or be issued a rent reduction order by
Division of Housing and Community
Renewal (DHCR) or be penalized by
a rent abatement in favor of the tenant
after a hearing or trial. In drastic situations, owners may be required to turn
their buildings over to receivers until everything is satisfactorily resolved. When
tenants fail to live up to their end of the
bargain the landlord’s only recourse is
to commence a proceeding in Housing
Court, as self-help is illegal.
Today, it is estimated that approximately 90 percent of landlords have legal

Though Whitestone has
never been a hotspot for firsttime buyers, and does not
have abundant mass transit
options, the neighborhood’s
larger, detached homes and
land plots helped put it
among the borough’s priciest.
“The product that is there is
attractive,” Lightfeldt said of
Whitestone, noting that the
top of the list has a mix of
“well-established, upper-middle-class neighborhoods” and
emerging enclaves welcoming buyers who do not have
backyards as high priorities.

representation while 98 percent of the
tenants do not and, therefore, it is viewed
as an “uneven playing field”. Yet, as noted
above, obtaining a final judgment of
possession and warrant of eviction, and,
thereafter, successfully having it executed
and attempting to recoup legal fees is no
slam dunk for the landlord.
Every Housing Court has resource
centers and Social Services offices to assist
the tenants every step through the process
to assist in obtaining funds to pay the
rent, to preparing answers and motions
to defend the case or to obtain the never
ending stream of OSCs. Although most
tenants are unable to get legal assistance
at the outset of their proceeding, Legal
Aid or Legal Services, more often than
not, will manage to appear on the verge of
an eviction in an effort to seek additional
time to get funds or to undo months
of court time and stipulations between
the parties, in an attempt to have the
proceeding dismissed, by averring
new defenses not previously raised or
on technical grounds. The court must
now, at this late juncture, re-evaluate
the entire matter to determine whether
to allow an eviction to proceed; further
staying the warrant of eviction; or
dismissing the entire case.
Currently, there is an effort by the
city to obtain sufficient funding to
provide legal representation for all

It is easy to understand: affordable
housing (as an alternative to Manhattan),
low

of Nov 2015 according to the
Department of
Labor, second
lowest in the
five boroughs),
increased

of
accessible
transportation,
the building of new schools and the
demand created for new housing
by young families all contribute to
Queens’ popularity. These factors as
well as low interest rates have created
a thriving marketplace.
However, it does appear that the
market has started to cool down.
Overall sales in the county were down
18 percent from July-December 2015,
versus six months earlier. Is this the
beginning of a correction?
Federal Reserve Chairperson Janet Yellen just raised interest rates
1/4%, and now penciled in at least
four more increases before the end of
the year for a total of 1 to 1 ½ points.
The markets are now in turmoil due
to new lows in oil prices, stumbling
Chinese stocks, and weak U.S. economic data. Low interest rates create
a bubble over time that will burst.
History has proven that a correction
is imminent.
It is my opinion that the marketplace is headed towards a correction
(if not in it already). There is a prevalence of uncertainty which leads to
cautiousness in the marketplace and
ultimately, lower prices. Be smart,
plan ahead.

New York Can’t Develop
It’s Way to Affordability
By LyNN EDMONDS Staff Writer
M
ayor Bill de
Blasio’s ambitious
initiatives to create
more affordable housing
- Mandatory Inclusionary
Housing and Zoning for
Quality and Affordability will likely face a vote in the
City Council at the end of
March.
But along with MIH and ZQA
there has been another suggestion
for how to create more affordable
housing: to build more market rate
units. In last months’ real estate issue, Borough President Melinda
Katz said that more market rate
units, as well as more affordable
units, were necessary to combat
the city’s affordable housing crisis.
It seems like common sense to increase supply in order to take the
pressure off prices. But two experts
argue that New York City cannot develop itself out of this problem.
Matthew Lasner, a professor of
Urban Policy and Planning at Hunter College, thought new housing
supply, unless it completely flooded
the markets, would have little impact on rent.
“Supply and demand just completely cease to work when you’re
talking about New York City real estate,” he said.
Lasner said the problem was just
that demand in New York had just
exceeded supply for far too long, by
far too much.
“We would have to build hundreds of thousands of units of new
housing before we caught up with
demand,” he said. “That’s not a reality that any of us will ever witness in
our lifetime.”
Paul Graziano, a land use and urban planning consultant, also said
that real estate prices in New York
City were not driven by the simple
laws of supply and demand.
“The whole city is hyper expensive,” he said. “It’s not a supply and
demand issue. It’s what the market
will bear.”
Between 2002 and 2013 Graziano
worked with state Sen. Tony Avella
(D-Bayside), who was then a councilman, to re-zone many neighborhoods in Queens so that they
couldn’t be developed.
Graziano said that the contextual
down-zonings that he orchestrated
Mayor Bill de Blasio is advocating for his affordable housing
initiatives MIH and ZQA.
in the many neighborhoods actually helped keep them relatively
affordable for middle class residents, something that might seem
counter-intuitive, since they made
the potential housing supply in the
neighborhood finite.
But he argued that when the possibility of development was taken
off the table, the properties lost
their speculative value for developers; their price ceased to be inflated
by the properties potential to become a money-making apartment
complex.
“You’re removing the ability for
someone to make a lot of money,”
Graziano said of the downzonings.
“If the neighborhood were zoned
multi-family, [the property value]
would jump exponentially. Because
each of those properties could be
re-developed into multi-family
housing.”
The neighborhood planner, a
proud North Flushing resident
for his entire life, added that the
Mayor’s efforts to create affordable
housing were creating just that type
of spike in property values in the
neighborhoods like East New York,
where a pilot version of MIH and
ZQA is to be implemented.
“Within three months, the
speculative value of the properties
in the area jumped 300 percent…
with the anticipation that all of
this market rate housing was going to be build in this neighborhood,” he said.
The danger with that type of jump
in property values, he said, was that
“this neighborhood was going to
completely transform and throw
out all of the poor people.”

By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
Black History Month has ended, but
before the festivities and celebrations
were officially over with, both state
Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) and
Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van
Bramer (D-Sunnyside) held their Black
History Month celebrations on Thursday, highlighting important people.
Van Bramer hosted his sixth annual Black History Month celebration
and Awards Night at the Jacob A. Riis
Settlement House in Queensbridge. At
his celebration, Van Bramer honored
the outstanding achievements of leaders in the community and presented
the Distinguished Public Service Award
to Richard Buery, Deputy Mayor for
Strategic Policy Initiatives.
Over 300 guests attended the event
and enjoyed performances by the
Queensbridge Senior Shakers, BRAATA
Folk Singers and the Tai Mountain Shadow School of Martial Arts. Van Bramer
honored Stacie Saunders, a student at
Long Island City High School, Eric Cooper, a community leader and photographer, LaDell Nation, the founder of the
Woodside Classics Basketball League,
Latoya McLeod, the PSA9 Officer with
the NYPD, Eric Duncan, the Treasurer
of the Ravenswood Resident Association, Stephanie Chauncey, a community
leader, Taylonn Murphy, the founder of
Tayshanna Chicken Murphy Foundation, Erica Ford, the CEO and founder
of LIFE Camp and Albert Pollard, the
Sifu and martial arts teacher.
“African-American history is filled
with people whose life stories inspire us.
African-Americans have made countless
contributions to our communities, to
our State and to our Nation,” Peralta
said. “Let today and everyday be a reminder of our shared fight for greater
social and economic justice for all.”
Peralta and the Corona-East
Elmhurst NAACP branch hosted
the African-American History and
Heritage celebration at the Langston
Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center in Corona. They honored
the achievements of several community
leaders and activists. The honorees were
Andrew Jackson, the executive director
of the Langston Hughes Community
Library and Cultural Center, Larinda
Hooks, James Galloway and Wayne
Edwards. Jackson was honored with
the Public Service Award and was
nominated by Peralta to the New York
State Veterans’ Hall of Fame. Hooks
received the Civic Leadership Award,
Galloway received the Community
Activist Award and Edwards received
the Good Spirit Award.
Each honoree stressed how important it is to celebrate Black History
Month, not just for the month, but for
the year.
The event also included the reading
of a poem written by Rawlanda Hinds,
who is a student at the World Journalism Preparatory School, and there were
performances by the Dena’s School
of the Arts, the Kehinde O’Uhuru
and the Djembe Orchestra and Jazz
Unlimited.
Public Advocate Letitia James, the
first African-American woman to
hold citywide office, was the keynote
speaker and recipient of the Lifetime
Achievement Award. Councilwoman
Vanessa Gibson (D-Bronx) was the
Guest Speaker.
“Black history is American history.
As we celebrate the achievements and
progress we have made as a City and a
nation, we must strengthen our resolve
to fighting inequality wherever it still
exists,” said James.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE
SCAMS Be careful of people
who approach you with offers
to “save” your home. There
are individuals who watch for
notices of foreclosure actions
in order to unfairly profit from
a homeowner’s distress. You
should be extremely careful
about any such promises and
any suggestions that you pay
them a fee or sign over your
deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for
profit to enter into a contract
which fully describes the
services they will perform
and fees they will charge, and
which prohibits them from
taking any money from you
until they have completed all
such promised services.

SJU’s Handford Shatters Scoring Record
By DaviD Russell
Of all the women that played
basketball for St. John’s, no player
has scored more points than Aliyyah
Handford. The senior guard set the
school record on Friday’s 69-54 win
over Providence. Handford passed
Ling Ling Hou, whom scored 1,950
points from 1976-1980.
“I feel good about it,” said Handford after Friday’s win. “I’m very
proud of myself. I also thank my
teammates. They helped me a lot to
get here so without them I wouldn’t
have got here, so I thank them.”
Handford didn’t know how many
points she needed for the record, so
there was no celebration after the record was set. When it was announced
to the crowd during a timeout, Joe
Tartamella was drawing up plays in
the huddle, meaning that there was
still no celebration. “Coach was talking at the time, so if I would’ve done
anything, that would’ve been a problem, so I just cheered myself on in
the inside,” Handford said.
Handford and fellow senior Dan-
Record breaker Aliyyah Handford, center.
aejah Grant both scored 27 points in
the victory over Providence. Grant
spoke about Handford’s record. “I
think it’s great,” Grant said. “It says
a lot about the player that she is and
it just says a lot about how hard she
goes every day. It’s a great accomplishment to have, to set a record
like this, and I think it’ll be a long
time before anybody else beats it.”
Tartamella didn’t forget the moment when he learned that Handford
would be playing for the Red Storm.
“I can remember the phone call I got,
driving off the Cross Island and getting on the Grand Central, and they
told me they were coming at 7:15 in
the morning,” Tartamella said after
Sunday’s 64-57 loss to Creighton. “I
can remember that for sure.”
The Senior Day ceremonies
before Sunday’s game marked the
first class from Tartamella, who is
in his fourth year as head coach.
“Aliyyah was my first recruit as a
head coach and they were really
kind of my first class,” Tartamella
said. “It’s a bit of a different feeling for me this year from being an
assistant who recruited these guys
for years and then you become a
head coach and it changes a little
bit, but to watch your first class go
through and then to be able to see
what they accomplished.”
The bond between coach and
players has extended off the court.
“My family has adopted them, they
love my kids, so they mean a lot,”
Tartamella said.
The all-time leading scorer in
school history will likely play professionally next year, but St. John’s will
always be in her heart. “I would just
love to come back and still hear my
name around here,” Handford said.
“That would be a great feeling.”
The Year Everyone Played At Shea Stadium
By DaviD Russell
A forgotten era when four
major sports teams played in
Queens is revisited in Brett Topel’s new book, When Shea Was
Home: The Story of the 1975
Mets, Yankees, Giants and Jets.
“Everything worked out
well for that era to fade into obscurity,” Topel said.
The Mets and Jets already
called Shea home, and with
Yankee Stadium being renovated, the Bronx Bombers came to
Flushing for the 1974 and 1975
seasons. After two years at the
Yale Bowl, the Giants played
home games during the 1975
season at Shea before moving to
brand new Giants Stadium.
“In 1975 I was five years old,
so I have no memories of that
year,” Topel said. “When I read
about it I thought it was kind of
strange. Most people remember the Yankees were there, but
very few remember the Giants.
The part that got me interested
was that four teams shared one
stadium. That’s laughable now.”
Unfortunately for New York
sports fans there were no playoff games at Shea in 1975. The
Jets and Giants were awful, and
while the Mets and the Yankees
had winning records, neither
team was playoff caliber. The
Yankees replaced manager Bill
Virdon during the season with
Billy Martin, and several days
later the Mets fired manager
Yogi Berra and replaced him
with Roy MacMillan. Jets head
coach Charley Winner was fired
after a 2-7 start. Giants head
coach Bill Arnsparger was the
last man standing, only to be
fired during the 1976 season.
“The four teams played
175 games and drew 3.7 million fans,” Topel said. “Now the
Yankees draw 3.5 million by
themselves.” While the teams
struggled the busy schedule was
good for the vendors and workers at the concession stands who
were making plenty of sales.
If there is a hero of the
book, it would have to be Pete
Flynn, the Shea groundskeeper
who kept the field playable. Topel was able to speak to Flynn
about the wild season.
“I was at Citi Field a few
years ago and I told the current
groundskeeper about my idea
for the book,” Topel said. “He
said he would forward my number to Pete and I’m thinking that
I’m never getting a phone call.
Then he tells me to turn around
and 50 feet away is Pete. Here’s
my chance to talk to him but
what am I going to say?”
Topel went over to Flynn
and told him about the idea.
“Pete looked away from me and
towards the infield. Then he
says with his Irish accent, ‘Ah.
That season be the death of me.’
I knew at that moment I had to
write the book.”

book.
