Sanford Rubenstein, the Avvinti family’s lawyer, held a YOUR CHILD IS press conference Wednesday to announce the lawsuit and charged that the traffic agent, identified as L. Hinkson, and an unnamed partner, refused to call an ambulance even though Avventi “was visibly suffering a heart attack.” Avvinti got out of the car and talked to the agent, and then got back into the car and began clutching his chest, Rubenstein said. NO ANGEL. The agent issued the ticket and left without calling 911, he said. Saying simply, “Just tell him to pay his ticket,” Hinkson walked off as Avvinti writhed in pain, Rubenstein alleged. Avvinti’s family filed a notice of claim — a precursor to a wrongful death lawsuit — against the city Wednesday, charging that the 61-year-old Sicilian immigrant might not have died if an ambulance had arrived sooner. According to the notice to file suit against the city, the ticket was written at 12:07 pm and nobody called 911 until nine minutes later. “What happened to Onofrio Avvinti was an outrageous disre- gard for the life of a New Yorker by a New York City traffic enforcement agent,” said Rubenstein. “Had an ambulance been called immediately, this man may not have died.” Rubenstein, who has represented black activist Al Sharp- ton and police brutality victim Abner Louima, declined to comment further on the case when contacted by The Brook- lyn Papers on Thursday. A source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that members of the Avvinti family were angered by Rubenstein’s decision to hold a press conference the day before the man’s funeral. Captain Frank Cangiarella, the new commanding officer of the 62nd Precinct, said that he and community affairs officers had contacted the Federation of Italian-American Organizations to let it be known that police sympathized with the Avvinti family, whose patriarch arrived in New York 33 years ago from Sicily. “There’s the investigation with the agents,” said Cangiarel- la, “but we want to reach out to the community and address whatever their needs are.” Nancy Sottile, executive director of the Federation of Ital- ian-American Organizations, said she had met with the family. She said they were heartbroken over Avvinti’s death. But Sottile said that many questions remained unanswered. “The whole issue is to find out what really happened, which is what the family is concerned with,” said Sottile. “The community is really upset about this incident.” CONDOS… Continued from page 1 middle class,” said Potak. “It’s a good neighborhood and this will be its first luxury elevator condo building.” The building features a heated, underground garage, and a marble-floored lobby replete with waterfalls and surveillance cameras. Apartments have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, said Potak, and range in size from 1,550 to 1,850 square feet. They have oak floors and washers and dryers. The kitchens feature marble floors, granite countertops, stain- less steel appliances and dishwashers. Potak said that each Angels don’t need health coverage. Your child does.

But area real estate brokers say that prices for those ritzy condos aren’t such a big stretch, considering that neighboring areas have also seen a similar boom. Joseph Madaio, a broker and the owner of RE/Max 1st Choice Realty, said that over the past five years property prices in Bay Ridge have shot up with the rest of newly hip Brooklyn. Last week, new residents began moving into The Vistas, a new, eight-story luxury condominium on Shore Road at 99th Street that includes apartments going for more than $1 million. Its 24 units will include unobstructed views of the harbor, a gym and indoor parking. But some residents say that that building and others like it are diluting the character of both neighborhoods. Victoria Hofmo, a member of the Bay Ridge Conservancy, said that the largest of those complexes are often built at the expense of older homes with character. Hofmo said that two single-family stone houses were razed Children are eligible for Child Health Plus offered by Health Plus if they: are under the age five years ago so that construction could begin on The Vistas. of 19; are not eligible for Medicaid and do not have equivalent health insurance; and live in Despite an outcry from nearby residents and Fontebonne Hall Academy, the private girl’s high school situated nearby, the Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, or Staten Island. building was erected with few difficulties. “Luxury is a relative term,” said Hofmo, who along with Councilman Vincent Gentile released a report in February www.healthplus-ny.org that recommended changes to zoning codes in both Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst. “What matters is that there’s no consideration for the neighbors,” said Hofmo. “It’s just about the almighty buck.
