The other two said that times ranged from two to five days. A representative on H+H’s public COVID hotline — 1-844-NYC-4NYC — said that testing results take from four to seven business days to arrive. Yet a spokesperson with Mayor Bill de Bla- sio’s office told THE CITY that “H+H is seeing shorter turnaround times than the citywide average, with tests being turned around in approxi- mately three days on average.” An H+H spokesperson, however, told THE CITY in an email that officials are “very con- scious” of the backlogs. Karla Griffith, the spokesperson, noted H+H is addressing the issue by “beginning to offer point-of-care testing to communities most impact- ed and demonstrating need” — referring to the city’s July 10 launch of a rapid testing pilot program. That’s spurred some concerns about the Bellevue Hospital is one of the main coronavirus testing sites in Manhattan.

Wednesday, July 22, 2020 • BQ Daily Eagle • 3 G uest Editorial Opinions G uest Editorial Opinions Does NYPD use misinformation to smear new policies? By Maryanne Kaishian, Brooklyn Defender Services In my years as an attorney with Brooklyn Defender Services, I have witnessed a disturbing truth: police lie so often there is a word for it. “Testilying” happens in court and on paperwork, even when an incident was caught on video. Cops also lie to the public about policy issues to maintain power. Commissioner Dermot Shea and other top NYPD officials continue their campaign of lies and disinformation against bail reform, which gave all New Yorkers some of the same pre-trial rights as the wealthy – namely, the right to fight a case while free and presumed innocent. Shea claims, contrary to the NYPD’s own data, that the recent tragic shootings in NYC are the result of more equitable treatment of poor New Yorkers facing certain criminal charges. He would have us believe that the police are so disempowered by critics that they can no longer swoop in to stop crime. Shea and NYPD brass also blame the City Council’s legislation that bans police chokeholds, highlighting both the inherent violence of policing and the inefficacy of attempts to reform the police. Chokeholds have been banned since 1993 and are already broadly defined by the NYPD’s own Patrol Guide as “any pres- sure on the throat or windpipe.” Proposed use-of-force legislation would simply codify the NYPD’s own existing rules, which they routinely ignore. In any case, the Council bill was not in effect when shootings occurred over the weekend. Moreover, the current rate of shootings for 2020 is no higher than that of 2015 — prior to bail reform — when Broken Windows-policing advocate Bill Bratton was commissioner. The truth is that the NYPD has emerged from a global pandemic and economic crisis — when summer youth programs were gutted and public school funding was stripped — with its budget and outsized power intact. Plans to hire 500 new cops for the subways are forging ahead even as the city made major cuts to its Fair Fares program, which subsidizes MetroCards for low-income New Yorkers. Now that demands for accountability and defunding have gained traction, the NYPD faces a PR crisis of its own making. A Siena poll released in June shows that most New Yorkers, including 87 percent of Black residents, do not feel safer when they see a cop. Rather than attempting fundamental change, the Department is determined to prove itself indispensable in its current, violent iteration. To this end, the NYPD and its apologists peddle the false- hood that policing consists almost entirely of stopping crime in its tracks. They need you to believe that you, too, could be killed if you manage to divert a single cent from their coffers to your community. The reality is that police are generally not violence interrupt- ers, and they often do not solve crimes after they have occurred. Just 13 percent of all NYPD arrests are for crimes classified as “violent felonies.” Of those, only half result in a conviction of any kind. Stud- ies show that increasing the size and budget of a police force does not directly correlate with safer streets. Even as spending on policing has increased, most murders in low-income neighborhoods remain unsolved. The NYPD demands accountability from everyone but themselves. The Department refuses to require personnel to attend virtual misconduct hearings or provide body camera footage to inves- tigators. Officers without masks beat masked demonstrators on video, after weeks of sometimes-violent mask-wearing enforce- ment, then insisted that more cops were essential for public safety. We must divest from policing, not simply legislate palatable ways for police to inflict harm while the NYPD drains the city’s finite resources. Every dollar spent on policing is a dollar that is not spent on schools, parks, housing, employment initiatives or alternatives to policing with demonstrated efficacy. We have already seen these choices play out to devastating consequences. And yet, against all evidence, the NYPD doggedly insists this city would improve if only the Police Department had more cops, more funding, more power and less criminal justice reform. Simply put, police officials are lying again. Maryanne Kaishian is senior policy counsel and staff attorney at Brooklyn Defender Services.

Wednesday, July 22, 2020 • BQ Daily Eagle • 9 Local leaders and community members cut the ribbon on the new Gateway Park. Photo by Walter Karling New public park opens near Jamaica’s Atlantic Avenue Extension By David Brand Queens Daily Eagle Elected leaders, city officials and Community Board 12 members cut the ribbon on a new public park near the site of the Atlantic Avenue Extension project in Jamaica Tuesday. The park, located in a once vacant lot beneath the AirTrain tracks, is the result of a 15-year-old effort to extend Atlan- tic Avenue to 95th Street and expand access to Downtown Jamaica from the Van Wyck Expressway. The city broke ground on the 0.86-acre park in 2015. “This extension will not only improve traffic patterns and provide a public park in an underutilized area but will provide a significant investment in a community that has been over- looked,” said Councilmember Adrienne Adams. The New York City Economic De- velopment Corporation, Park Depart- ment and Department of Transportation collaborated on the project. “Thanks to years of collaboration among several agencies and community groups, this multi-faceted project will give New Yorkers a smoother transition into the Downtown Jamaica core,” said DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. The new park is located near the Van Wyck Expressway under the AirTrain in Jamaica.

10 • Queens Daily Eagle • Wednesday, July 22, 2020 Ex-Fresh Meadows attorney charged with stealing cash from clients By David Brand A disbarred lawyer operating out of a Fresh Meadows office was charged with grand lar- ceny Tuesday for allegedly stealing more than $150,000 from three clients. Former attorney Michael Kohn, 70, ciphoned cash from clients’ bank accounts after represent- ing them in real estate and personal injury matters between 2013 and 2017, said Queens District At- torney Melinda Katz. “The victims trusted the defendant to act on their behalf, when they hired him to handle var- ious legal matters,” Katz said. Instead the defendant allegedly pocketed tens of thousands of dollars that should have been distributed to his clients.” In one instance, Kohn allegedly stole more than $80,000 from a victim after handling the sale of a property in Woodside. Another client who was awarded $90,000 in a 2015 civil settlement never received any of that money, Katz said. A third victim was administering a dead rel- ative’s estate when they hired Kohn to handle the sale of a Douglaston property that sold for $650,000 in 2013. The victim allegedly received just $100,000 after the sale. Kohn, who lives on Long Island, resigned from the bar in January 2019. Kohn was released on his own recognizance and ordered to return to court on Oct. 27. He faces 15 years in prison if convicted. His attorney did not immediately respond to a phone call seeking comment. Ex-attorney Michael Kohn worked out of an office in Fresh Meadows.

TO PROMOTE YOUR NEW BUSINESS IN NUMEROUS ON-LINE VENUES, CALL 718-422-7410 WRONGFUL DEATH SUIT OVER SOCCER MATCH STABBING DISMISSED Appellate Division, Second Department In February 2018, Jeffrey Melcer and others filed a complaint against the city of New York and the New York City Department of Education (DOE) to recover damages for a wrongful death. Specifically, Melcer alleged that in December 2016, the victim and his brother were playing in a soccer match of the premises of the Juan Morel Campos Secondary School in Brooklyn. According to the complaint, after the game was ended by the referees due to excessive violence during the match, members of the opposing soccer team stabbed the victim and his brother, Hon. Reginald Boddie killing the victim. In March of 2018, the Eagle file photo by Rob Abruzzese plaintiffs moved for leave to serve a late notice of claim upon the defendants. In an order dated Oct. 5, 2018, Hon. Reginald Boddie denied the plaintiffs’ motion. Thereafter, the plaintiffs moved to stay the proceeding until the related criminal case against the assailants was completed and the defendants crossmoved to dismiss the complaint as asserted against them. In an order dated May 2, 2019, the Supreme Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for a stay and granted the defendants’ cross motion. Melcer and the other plaintiffs appealed, and the justices of the Appellate Division, Second Department affirmed the order. The justices agreed with the Supreme Court that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that the defendants obtained actual knowledge of the essential facts constituting the claims within 90 days after the claims arose or a reasonable time thereafter. They found that the criminal complaint prepared by the NYPD was not evidence that the defendants acquired actual knowledge of the essential facts underlying the claims against them. The justices noted that the NYPD complaint failed to provide actual notice of the facts constituting the plaintiffs’ claims of negligent supervision, failure to provide adequate security and staffing, failure to prevent foreseeable injury and failure to call for additional police support; or that the victim’s brother was injured as a result of the defendants’ alleged negligence. In addition, the justices found that the plaintiffs did not demonstrate a reasonable excuse for their failure to serve a timely notice of claim. They explained that the fear of retaliation by the government because of the victim’s brother and other family members’ lack of legal status in the United States was not reasonable. Finally, the justices concluded that the plaintiffs failed to present any evidence that the defendants were not substantially prejudiced by the oneyear delay. They determined that the delay deprived the defendants of the opportunity to promptly find and interview witnesses and obtain a medical examination of the injured plaintiff or otherwise conduct a timely and meaningful investigation. —Melcer v. City of New York, 2018‐14362 & 2019‐08098, July 8, 2020 INJURED LIBRARY WORKER’S CLAIMS MOVE FORWARD Appellate Division, Second Department Eileen Muller, a librarian employed by the Brooklyn Public Library, fell while stepping out of an allegedly misleveled staff elevator at a branch of the library. Muller filed a complaint in Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term against the city of New York, as the owner of the building where she fell, and others in an effort to recover damages for her personal injuries. In the Supreme Court, the city moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as asserted against it. In an order dated March 13, 2019, Hon. Kathy King denied that branch of the city’s motion. Upon the Hon. Kathy King city’s appeal, the justices of the Appellate Photo courtesy of Justice King Division, Second Department affirmed the determination of the Supreme Court. The justices agreed with the Supreme Court that the city failed to establish that, as the owner of the building, it had no duty, by contract or course of conduct, to repair the elevator inside the building. They explained that the city failed to “demonstrate the absence of any material issue of fact” by failing to provide admissible evidence to prove the city’s lack of responsibility for maintenance and repairs. Furthermore, the justices noted that the city failed to demonstrate that it did not have constructive notice of the allegedly defective condition that caused Muller to fall. They concluded that, contrary to the city’s contention, it failed to establish its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law of the ground that Miller was unable to identify the cause of her fall without resorting to speculation. —Muller v. City of New York, 2019‐05095, July 15, 2020

The $400,000 grant program, created in partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, will give small businesses loans ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 that they can use to purchase personal protective equipment, Plexiglas partitions, sanitiz- ing services, new furniture for outdoor dining and other items to promote social distancing and stop the spread of COVID-19. “Queens was the epicenter of the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic and the virus had a devastating impact on our small businesses,” said Queens Chamber President Tom Grech. “In addition to months of lost revenue, business owners now have to take on additional expenses to keep their employees and customers safe.” New York-Presbyterian Queens stepped up to help fellow Queens businesses operate safely, he said.
