Pol rallies for third time against proposed six-story Bay Ridge hotel
As promised, State Senator Marty Golden rallied for the third time on Friday, May 4 against the six-story, 63-unit hotel proposed for the long-vacant lot across the street from P.S./I.S. 104.
“What’s coming here is a hotel that’s going to have homeless vouchers and that’s going to bring homeless people to the community, which I have no problem with,” said Golden, who promised to rally weekly – if he has to – to stop the hostelry from going up. “I think we need to have housing for our homeless but not across from an overcrowded school in the most overcrowded school district in the city of New York.”
The lot in question, 9114 Fifth Avenue, is opposite the notably overcrowded school and, aside from parking for the window purveyors next door, has been vacant and on the market at the hands of a Ridge-based seller for nearly a decade.
