The New York Diner Where A Steak Dinner With Pie Still Rings Up Like It’s Another Decade

This Old School New York Luncheonette Has Been A Brooklyn Favorite Since 1936

Free cookies and orange slices for people waiting in line. That’s the welcome at one Brooklyn diner, where weekend crowds often stretch down the block. The treats aren’t a gimmick or a new trend. Staff have long handed out coffee, water, cookies, and fruit to hungry folks on the sidewalk. I appreciate a place that treats the wait like part of the meal.

The 54-year-old's assessment was echoed by others who gathered Thursday opposite the grim scene in Flatbush, a mostly Black neighborhood, where a three-story building plunged into a neighboring excavation site. Investigations have only just begun, but Bowen said he believed the property owners may have cut corners in their plans to construct a nine-story bu...

Owner of collapsed Brooklyn building is a notorious slumlord, tax deadbeat who owes $450K debt

The owner of the Brooklyn building that collapsed onto an adjacent construction site leaving eight people dead is not only a notorious slumlord — he’s also a deadbeat who owes more than $450,000 in fines, unpaid taxes and water bills, The Post has learned. Olufemi Falade — who has the dubious distinction of landing on the NYC public advocate’s annual “Worst Landlords Watchlist” six times — racked up nearly all of his debt at the three-story building at 1321 Flatbush Ave . that crumbled Wednesday. 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. James Keivom for NY Post Separately, Falade owes the Internal Revenue Service another $49,269 for unpaid personal federal income taxes, according to a 2010 lien. He also owes New York state another $4,316 in personal income taxes. The city is still trying to determine who is at fault for the building collapse. NY politicians

Boom of tiny NYC apartment buildings due to developers gaming tax-relief program

If the city has such a desperate housing shortage, why do so many new apartment buildings around town seem tiny? The magic number for residential developers in the Big Apple is 99 — the maximum number of units they can build to keep construction and labor costs low and to maximize future profits under a city-state tax-relief program. The Real Estate Board of New York found that new or planned apartment projects in the five boroughs with under 100 units surged to 172 from July 2024 to September 2026, as tallied by the city’s Housing Preservation and Development agency and the Department of Buildings. In comparison, a mere 13 such small-scale projects were recorded from 2008 to 2023. The 23-story Eastline at 1655 First Avenue, which will have 99 units. Google Maps Since 2024, Brooklyn and Queens had 65 and 58 new projects, respectively, with fewer than 100 units, while Manhattan had 17, according to REBNY. Manhattan leasing remains red hot in October A mere 99 units in some buildings is minuscule in light of the city’s need for 700,000 new homes in the next decade. But the reason they’re so popular with builders is simple, say REBNY vice president
