To any responsible politician:

As you know, last July, 2001, new zoning was passed for Downtown Brooklyn in reaction to the construction of the 200-foot high Court Street movie theater. It provides for a 9 block square area (bounded by Atlantic Avenue, Court Street, Livingston Street and Smith Street), with a building height limit of 120 feet (approximately 12 stories) for all new buildings. This is the first time we have had a height limit on buildings adjacent to our landmark area. After the disaster of the 200 foot height Court Street theater which dwarfed the adjacent brownstones, the neighborhood breathed a sigh of relief. At last a height limit was in place. The purpose of the height limit was to protect the adjoining landmark areas of Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill. Now we are faced with a new threat. Brooklyn Law School has asked for a zoning change right in the middle of our height limit protection, so they can build a 265-foot tall dormitory. This building would be one of the tallest buildings in Brooklyn, equivalent of the movie theater with a six story apartment building on top of it! And this enormous building would sit less than one block away from the movie theater, on State Street between Court Street and Boerum Place, overwhelming the neighborhood. In my opinion, and that of all the influential local organizations, Brooklyn Law School does not have to build this huge structure. They can build a dormitory 12 stories high, and meet their own needs and the needs of their neighbors at the same time. In fact, all the important community organizations which represent the local constituency – namely the Brooklyn Heights Association, the Boerum Hill Association, the Cobble Hill Association, the Atlantic Avenue Betterment Association and the State Street Association – came to unanimous and mutual agreement to strongly oppose this proposal. Community Board 2 also voted to oppose this proposal. I am writing you this letter to add my voice to that of those who oppose this zoning amendment which would so dramatically impact our community.

Yours very truly,

Even though the Once on the air, the Cyclones website is www.Gersh.tv “As of this morning she is in jail, and as to what happens when she gets out and reports back to work, that is being de- termined as we speak. There will be an investigation with our security officials,” Bonomo said. Bonomo said Verizon had never, in his recollection, had to deal with mob crime. “But we have had employees in the past that have provided customer information outside the company, and of course, that is a serious break of our security policies,” he said. Neither Hynes nor the investigators could say why Zervos got involved in the loan sharking conspiracy or whether or not she owed Salome money. But investigators said at least two men who borrowed from the loan shark did resort to crime in order to pay off their debts. Carlos Rolando, Edwin Hernandez, Raymond Reyes, Roberto Viverito and Simon Corney were all arrested in connection with the theft and resale of truckloads of new cellular phones. Cash obtained from the sale of the stolen phones was paid back to Sa- lome’s loan sharking operation, according to the DA’s office. The hijacking allegedly took place between last Dec. 10 and Jan. 29, in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. An undercover NYPD Intelligence Division investigator said police found out about the hijackers after first finding out about the loan sharking interactions at Gamer’s Illusions and the defunct candy store through the wiretaps. Each of the alleged hijackers faces 8-1/3 to 25 years in prison. Rolando is to be extradited from Florida and Hernan- dez is to be extradited from Oklahoma. Their bail will be set pending arraignment. Reyes’ bail was set at $200,000 and Corney, who was charged as the fence of the operation, had bail set at $500,000. Viverito presently resides in a New York State prison. In each case the hijackers were armed. One hijacking, Hynes noted, involved the kidnapping of a truck driver from Queens to Brooklyn. “They saw an opportunity to make a quick buck by hijacking,” Hynes said. But he said the multifaceted, crime-heavy operation did not end with the hijackers. Information provided by a cooperating witness led to a series of controlled purchases of the designer drug Ecstasy. “During our investigation we purchased in excess of 500 Ecstasy pills,” Hynes said. “That, upon conviction, is a crime that can carry up to life in prison.” After the net of 500 pills was allegedly purchased from An- thony DeStefano of Staten Island, over a period from March through May of last year, investigators seized his SUV, $15,000 in cash and, with a search warrant, three guns from his home. The guns included a Tek-9 with 30 rounds of am- munition, a loaded .25-caliber handgun and a loaded .22-caliber gun with a serial number that had been altered. DeStefano owns and operates Finest Towing, at 597 Baltic St. in Gowanus, according to the investigators. He was negotiating sales of the drug from both his home and business, they said. Hynes said all the cases will be passed on to a grand jury. DENTISTS 6 DTG, PSG THE BROOKLYN PAPERS • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM June 17, 2002
