At the CB1 meeting tonight, at the end of the meeting as “new business”, the topic of the recent accidents in front of PS 276 on Battery Place were discussed.

February 5, 2014- At the CB1 meeting held in the public library on February 4th, BP.TV asked the Park Enforcement Patrol Captain, Ed Falcon, to address our reporting that uncovered his officers were being reassigned to other parks, despite the BPCA paying for the PEP to patrol BPC territory.

January 20, 2014- The Post reports, “Screeching subway trains, honking cars, roaring planes, barking dogs and boisterous people make noise the Big Apple’s No. 1 quality-of-life complaint. A city hotline got more than 260,000 noise complaints last year. Silence, it seems, is the one thing in this city of more than 8 million that’s almost impossible to find, despite a major crackdown on excessive noise. One of the lesser-known legacies of the recently ended 12-year tenure of Mayor Michael Bloomberg was one of the nation’s toughest noise codes.

We will find out tomorrow as that social experiment is conducted on Super Bowl Sunday. Continue reading
February 1, 2014- Our previous story about the Tribeca fruit shanty shack being evicted was premature. They are back, along with their 24/7 parked hideous graffiti-riden truck. Continue reading

Opinion February 1, 2014– Sallie Krawcheck was the CFO of Citigroup from 2004 to 2007, and was partly responsible for the bank loading up on risky CDO’s and other mortgage backed derivatives which should have destroyed the bank (White House insiders reported that Tim Giethner, then Treasury Secretary, defied President Obama who wanted to allow Citi to go belly-up.). She was ousted from Citigroup and landed at Merrill Lynch in 2008 running “Wealth Management”, (as Merrill Lynch too was saved from bankruptcy by Bank of America).
