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 (continued on page 11) 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 of the Queens library system. 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.

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 Public Review Period with more than Photo by Walter Karling Long Island City’s iconic PepsiCola sign is headed for landmark status. 15,000 pages of material on the back- on these items,” said Commission log properties available online.

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.

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. Michael Nussbaum Publisher Queens County’s Weekly Newspaper Group Domenick Rafter, Editor-in-Chief Founded in 1970 by Gary Ackerman Published Weekly Copyright © 2015 Tribco, LLC Shiek Mohamed, Production Manager Queens Tribune (718) 357-7400 E-mail Address: news@queenstribune.com 150-50 14th Road Whitestone, NY 11357 www.queenstribune.com Marcia Moxam Comrie Contributing Editor Ria MacPherson Comptroller 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, Reporters: Lynn Edmonds, Yvette Brown, Trone Dowd, Jon Cronin Photographers: Bruce Adler, Walter Karling Contributors: Michael Stahl, Eric Jordan, Barbara Arnstein, Tammy Scileppi, David Russell, Vladimir Grjonko, Angelia Roggie, Ariel Hernandez, Carmine Carcieri, Marissa Collado Art Department: Nalini Boodnie, Lorraine Milano, Lianne Procanyn Webmaster: Shiek Mohamed 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 (continued on Real Estate Section Page 4) Maureen Coppola Advertising Director Howard Swengler Major Accounts Manager Shanie Persaud Director Corporate Accounts/Events Account Executives Shari Strongin Donna Lawlor Ruth Ann Warren Ron Shafran Accounting: Lisbet Espinal Legals: Caitlin Durney Mitch Kronenfeld: Classified Manager Classified Ad Representatives: Nadia Hack, Fran Gordon, Susan Jaffe, Marty Lieberman, Lorraine Shaw, Sheila Scholder, Robin Rihsler, Lillian Saar An Award Winning Newspaper New York Press Association National Newspaper Association The Tribune is not responsible for typographical errors beyond the cost of the space occupied by the advertisement. www.queenstribune.com • March 3-9, 2016 Tribune Page 7 Page 8 Tribune March 3-9, 2016 • www.queenstribune.com qUEENS thiS wEEk 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!” Reach Reporter Jon Cronin at (718) 357-7400 x125, jcronin@queenstri- bune.com or @JonathanSCronin 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.

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 nothing but men, and then say ‘what But if you want prosperis this all about, you can’t ity for a lifetime, plant have a meeting without another life.

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 GRAPH COURTESY OF STREETEASY 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.

A ing a basic education to New York City 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.

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.

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.

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 OP-ED: Housing Court (continued from page 6) 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 Median PPSF Rankings by Neighborhood for 2015 Queens harbingers for further development.” 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. He also said that StreetEasy spotted a growth in demand for housing in all of the areas that ran past Queens’ overall median PPSF.

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 tenants in Housing Court who cannot afford their own.

By SWAIN WEINER E veryone involved in the Queens commercial investment marketplace has been enjoying the upward trajectory for the last five years. It is easy to understand: affordable housing (as an alternative to Manhattan), low unemployment rates for the county (4.4% as of Nov 2015 according to the Department of Labor, second lowest in the five boroughs), increased awareness Swain Weiner 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. Swain Weiner is president, partner and founder of Greiner Maltz Investment Properties, which specializes in all types of commercial investment sales throughout the five boroughs and Long Island. Over the last several years, he has sold more than $600,000,000 in aggregate sales with more than 2,200 residential units.

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.” Reach Lynn Edmonds at (718) 3577400 x127, ledmonds@queenstribune.com or @Ellinoamerikana www.queenstribune.com • March 3-9, 2016 Tribune Page 25 LEISURE Black History Month Ends With Fanfare, Honors photo Courtesy of City CounCil Van Bramer stands with Black History Month honorees. 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.

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.” The cover of Topel’s new book. www.queenstribune.com • March 3-9, 2016 Tribune Page 39 LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE INDEX NO. 23863/2009 FILED: 9/3/2009 Plaintiff designates QUEENS County as the place of trial situs of the real property SUMMONS SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NE W YORK COUNT Y OF QUEENS C I T I M O R TG AG E , I N C .
