Following more than a dozen complaints by neighbors on either side of the former house at 229 85th St., between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue, Department of Buildings officials hit Anas Moustapha, the owner, with two violations, both for working without a permit. The non-permitted work also drew fire from elected officials and members of Community Board 10, all claiming that the infractions follow a long line of delinquencies by overzealous developers in Bay Ridge. “Their houses were vibrating,” said Josephine Beckmann, district manager of Community Board 10. “When a bulldozer comes and knocks down a house, there’s a lot to be concerned about.” But Moustapha said that the unapproved demolition was merely the result of gradual discoveries that nearly all of the wood in the two-story house and its roof was rotting and termite infested. Despite filing for minor interior renovations in April, he soon learned that nearly every wall needed to be removed. The wood was so old, he said, that a smell tantamount to natural gas was wafting throughout the home. “Nobody in his right mind would knowingly invest in a house that is not legal,” said Moustapha. “It’s not like you’re living in a jungle, where you can do whatever you want to. I know this.” Jane Deluca and Audrey Olszewski, who live on opposite sides of the Moustapha lot, contacted Community Board 10 and the Build- ings Department following the demolition. Both cited noise, after- hours construction work and tremors that they believe threatened the foundations of their homes, according to Buildings Department records. Many of those concerns, those same records show, were deemed unwarranted after inspection. Neither of the women would comment for this story. Ralph Albanese, an architect with offices in Downtown Brooklyn who was contracted for the project, said that after sur- veying the area it was determined that the land would not be harmed. He added that the homes are separated by some 20 feet. Despite the age of the house, it was not protected with landmark status or registered as historic. Had Moustapha filed for the correct permits, he would have likely been approved for the demolition, according to Jennifer Givner, a Buildings Department spokeswoman. Moustapha, who owns a bakery on Atlantic Avenue in Down- town Brooklyn, has lived in Bay Ridge his entire life, first in a home on 86th Street and then at 272 85th St. He lived in both houses with his family, who count more than 50 years in the neighborhood, before moving to a third address in Bay Ridge several years ago. The house at 272 85th St., still owned by his father, has received no violations since 1971, according to Buildings Depart- ment records. Moustapha said that his decision to move was based on his growing family — two 13-year-old twins, a 9-year-old and a 5- year-old. “I’m not trying to bring down the neighborhood, or my neighbors’ properties — I’m trying to bring it up,” said Moustapha, who said the home to be built would be identical to the two-story dwelling it is replacing, save for a new brick veneer. “But there was nothing to save from that house without putting my family in danger,” he added. His new home was previously owned by Richard Banat, a fire- fighter who moved upstate last year. Banat’s father, Robert, said that in over 35 years in the house he never noticed a termite problem. He added that when the house was sold last year, his son told him See HOUSE on page 18 rud ta i dd o follow rules. upon agreed the not did it that grounds agency to re-open the contest on Corporation seeking to force the Development Manhattan Lower design competition are suing the memorial Center Trade World Brooklyn PapersEditor By NeilSloane memorial WTC over court in photog Papers’ 8 stood the unimaginable trauma of the of trauma unimaginable the stood River.Hudson with- foundations The the back hold to designed and tions founda- bedrock on constructed der won- engineering an attack, the vived sur- which element dramatic most the is wall slurry great “The guidelines. competition design the in stated skind Libe- visible,” and prominent remains wall slurry the Libeskind’sthat design said.

annes, France — In addition to the filmmakers, Cthe deal-makers, and the glitz and glamour of the annual Cannes Film Festival, there are also film curators whose work consists of seeing as many films as possible. One such attendee at this year’s fest, which ran from May 12- 23, was Adrienne Mancia, curator-at-large for BAM’s Rose Cinemas and BAMCinematek. Born in Bushwick, Mancia came to BAM after 35 years as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art.
