For generations of Long Islanders, Pergament was one of those stores that seemed to be part of the suburban landscape.

A review of city records found that he owes $170,000 in fines issued by the Department of Buildings in 2019 for improperly displayed signs. He also owes the city $114,945 in unpaid water bills accumulated over several years and $113,526 in property taxes dating to 2021. Firefighters search the rubble of a collapsed building on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
