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.

A new restaurant blew my mind
I've had some hot takes that've gotten me backlash in the past; not liking Thanksgiving food (it's boring), thoroughly loving Chuck E. Cheese stuffed crust (not sure how anyone couldn't), preferring cinnamon Pop-Tarts to strawberry (the flavor you love is blueberry, trust me. Strawberry is muted) — but I'm about to drop a bomb. For years, I've kept this under wraps. Garden Staters get heated over food, and the debate wasn't one I was willing to spark, because, even if I made a perfectly reasonable case, I'd still receive emails saying my mom "should've chosen Plan B" (yes, that's happened). To demonstrate how fatigued I am with those arguments, however, I say this without a care in the world: I don't like Italian rainbow cookies . They taste like licorice, they reek of almond extract and, as a kid, they lure you into what you think is a chocolate-dipped truffle, but leave you with an underwhelming block of marzipan you'd buy near the register of a T.J. Maxx. Am I wrong? DM me, @northjerseyeats . What I'm sure I'm right about, though — besides the fact that the gooey squares from J&M Bakery might be the one exception to my
