A tale of three titles, one restricted garden
A god-awful plot of land in Brooklyn Heights was lovely back in the day – the 1980s, to be precise – when neighborhood mom Sylvia Blinchik made it into a memorial garden for her dead son.
But Blinchik died two decades ago and the plot – which consists of the rear yards of 128, 130 and 132 Montague Street – became a rat-infested dumping ground.
Recently a Heights restaurant owner set out to rehab the long-abandoned memorial garden and turn it into a dining patio for Taperia, the restaurant he’s building at 132 Montague.
