Netflix is bringing a new TV production hub to Bushwick By Mary Frost
Greenpoint Gazette
Internet media giant Netflix is building a production hub in Bushwick with six sound stages, expected to host thousands of production crew jobs within five years, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced last Thursday. The company has leased approximately 161,000 square feet to build the production and support space at 333 Johnson Ave., a three-story former printing facility. BLD Architecture, on behalf of building owner Steel Equities, filed plans on Thursday with the NYC Department of Buildings to renovate and convert the site into television studios. The hub will also include an expanded office in Manhattan at 888 Broadway that will directly create 127 new executive-level content, marketing and production development
jobs over the next five years. Netflix in New York currently operates with 32 employees from an office in Chelsea. The company has produced numerous shows in New York City, including “Dating Around,” “Orange is the New Black,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “She’s Gotta Have It,” “The Irishman,” “Someone Great,” “Private Life” and “Russian Doll.” In the competition to bring the 127 highpaying office jobs to Manhattan, Empire State Development offered up to $4 million in performance-based Excelsior Tax Credits over 10 years. To receive the full incentive, Netflix must create the 127 jobs by 2024 at the new office and then retain those new jobs — and their existing 32 office jobs — for another five years.

BQX Could Spur More Interest in Red Hook By Raanan Geberer Greenpoint Gazette
The back-and-forth debate over the proposed BQX streetcar, a mass transit improvement that wouldn’t be developed by the MTA, reminds me some-
what of the Roosevelt Island tram, which was likewise developed without the aid of the metro area’s Transit Authority. Almost everyone in New York City has ridden on the tramway at one time or another. SERVING GREENPOINT FOR OVER

By all rights, however, the tramway shouldn’t be here anymore at all. The Roosevelt Island tramway was built in 1976 as a way to shuttle residents of the new housing developments on the island to Manhattan. The older trolley tracks over the Queensboro Bridge, which stopped midbridge at an elevator that took people down to the island, had by then deteriorated too much to be renovated. At the time, it was understood that the tramway was a temporary measure that would be taken down once the new 63rd Street subway tunnel, which includes a Roosevelt Island stop, opened. But by the time the subway tunnel finally opened in 1989, the tramway, with its scenic views of the East River, was too popular with tourists to remove. By now, more than 20 million people have ridden the tram. The BQX was not designed for tourists. According to Mayor Bill de Blasio, who announced his support for the project soon after it was proposed, the BQX is a response to the “incredible growth” on the Brooklyn-Queens waterfront, particularly neighborhoods like DUMBO, Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Long Island
City, and seeks to meet the transit needs of those who live and work there. From the beginning, some local officials, like Councilmember Carlos Menchaca, and advocacy groups, like UPROSE, have been critical of the project, saying that it has had insufficient local input and that it would penalize mom-and-pop businesses to serve large developers. Still, the city administration is steadfastly behind the proposal. When the proponents of the BQX make the case for the streetcar line, tourism is rarely mentioned. If it’s mentioned, it’s often in a negative context, like an article in the blog 6sqft.com whose headline is “Waterfront Neighborhoods Fear Proposed Streetcar Would Favor Tourists and Yuppies.” Personally, I doubt whether out-of-town tourists would use the BQX — if you have only a week in New York City, Long Island City is probably not on your agenda. However, the BQX could definitely spur local tourism — for example, Manhattan residents visiting Greenpoint, Long Island City or Brooklyn Bridge Park. And one neighborhood that I believe could

benefit from such local tourism, and the tourists that the BQX would bring, is the waterfront area of Red Hook. Red Hook has been attracting more and more people over the years for its views of the Statue of Liberty and Governor’s Island; attractions like the Waterfront Barge Museum and Rocky Sullivan’s Bar; culinary magnets like Steve’s Key Lime Pies and the Red Hook Lobster Pound, and, of course,
IKEA. Yet, the area is not near any subway lines and is only accessible by the B61 and B75 buses and, at times, by IKEA’s free shuttle bus. The number of local tourists visiting Red Hook could increase dramatically with the BQX. In fact, that was the idea behind the predecessor of the BQX — transit buff and engineer Bob Diamond’s never-completed Red Hook trolley line. For complete story visit brooklyneagle.com.

Netflix is bringing a new TV production hub to Bushwick continued from page 1
The Netflix facility joins Steiner Studios, a massive production facility at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Steiner, which provides space for Hollywood-scale productions, is roughly 3.5 times the size of the planned Netflix site.
Cuomo said he looked forward to the jobs and productions the project will bring, and called Netflix “innovative, creative and bold — just like New Yorkers.” Jason Hariton, director of Worldwide Studio Operations & Real Estate at Netflix said
that New York had created a “film-friendly environment that’s home to some of the best creative and executive talent in the world.” Late last year Long Island-based Steel Equities bought the Bushwick property for $53 million, according to The Real Deal.
The three-story building formerly housed the printing company Alvin J Bart & Sons. A company spokesperson told the Greenpoint Gazette that the printer relocated to Texas about a year ago. Netflix has more than 139 million paid memberships in over 190 countries, who watch TV series, documentaries and feature films on the internet.
Backlash in Bushwick over city’s rezoning plan
By Paul Stremple Greenpoint Gazette
In front of an audience packed with community board members, opposition activists and local stakeholders, the city revealed on Tuesday night its draft plan for the long-awaited rezoning of Bushwick. The draft outlines a set of investments into the community, from parks to health services and affordable housing, along with zoning changes that would increase density in the rapidly changing neighborhood. Aspects of the plan, especially regarding affordable housing and increased density, were met with contention from some attendees. Opponents of the plan repeatedly interrupted the meeting with comments like “affordable to who?” After a presentation that lasted roughly 45 minutes, city representatives fielded only a couple questions before the meeting was adjourned and attendees were told to leave as the lights flicked on and off. Though the city’s plan doesn’t yet provide concrete numbers on total additional housing units coming to Bushwick, the level of increased density and lack of truly affordable housing for low-income New Yorkers beyond mandatory developer minimums breaks with the community’s hopes for what the rezoning could have looked like. For the past four years, sparked in part by an uptick in out-of-context development on neighborhood side streets, residents teamed up with local politicians and nonprofit organizations to develop the Bushwick Community Plan, a vision for the future of the neighborhood. This community plan,
The confines of the rezoning. commissioned by Community Board 4, was the impetus for the city rezoning. According to DCP representatives, the new zoning laws in Bushwick would preserve height requirements on 70 percent of residential side streets, ensuring buildings line up with current construction to preserve the character of the neighborhood. On the other hand, the DCP plans to allow for 16-story residential and commercial mixed-use buildings along Broadway, while Myrtle Avenue would see potential 13-story developments. Other neighborhood corridors, like Central and Wilson, would see “modest” density increases, according to the DCP presentation.

These new high-density buildings, clustered around transit hubs, would include requirements for a certain percentage of affordable units. But critics of the plan say these requirements don’t create enough units, and that any housing that will be created remains too expensive for the Bushwick community. Local City Councilmember Antonio Reynoso, who helped set the Bushwick Community Plan in motion, said he saw the presentation as “a starting point.” “If not for the work we started four years ago,” said Reynoso, “this would’ve looked a lot worse.” Along with the first updates to the blanket zoning
that has covered most of Bushwick since 1961, the Bushwick Community Plan also calls for major investments in the neighborhood across a number of city departments. These upgrades are a key part of the plan, seen as the trade-off for what residents are giving up in high-density development. The presentation from DCP listed a number of efforts to invest in Bushwick that were either already planned or would be taken into consideration. DCP said they would work to develop 100 percent affordable housing on city-owned land, while working with local nonprofits and landlords to protect tenants from harassment. Some existing NYCHA housing, like Hope Gardens, will be renovated, while additional senior housing will be created at the Bushwick II development. The city Parks Department will invest more than $10 million in upgrades, with some projects already underway. That includes reconstruction of the Hope Ballfield, a new accessible bathroom at Green Central Knoll, synthetic turf fields at Maria Hernandez Park and reconstruction on the skate park and basketball courts at Rudd Playground State Park. The Department of Small Business Services has already pushed its mobile outreach unit into the streets of Bushwick as part of an ongoing effort to connect small business owners in the neighborhood to resources. Growing local business is a major goal of the rezoning-adjacent initiatives, and the NYC Economic Development Corporation will work to connect business owners with tax incentives as well as linking residents to nearby opportunities at city incubator and workshop spaces to grow their businesses.

DIGITAL FAIRYTALES: VENGEANCE IS MINE When one encounters the term “Vengeance,” it is with excitement, suspicion and dread. For vengeance to exist, there must be a prior perception of victimhood, a grievance. The scale of which is determined by the protagonist, but the roles can quickly be flipped. And flipped and flipped again. The chain of vengeance can go on and on and, unless broken, lead to ever escalating levels of calamity. When: Mondays-Sundays through April 30th Where: DUMBO/Made in NY media Center (30 John Street)
TRANSCENDENTAL PATHWAY Featuring work by Rachel Cohen, Deanna
Lee, Christina Massey, Elizabeth Riley, Christine Romanell, Linda Schmidt, Transcendental can be described simply as abstract. It has other definitions though from mathematical use, such as incapable of being the root of an algebraic equation with rational coefficients, (π for example), or as relating to an experience determined by the mind’s makeup. Six artists in this exhibit take on different approaches to that definition through their individual styles of abstraction, be that from their intuitive creative approaches to inspiration from mathematical equations. When: Tuesdays-Saturdays through April 29th, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Gallery 55 (55 Water Street)

LEA THOMAS– CURRENTS
KITCHEN STILL LIFES BY JAN GROOVER
A drop of dark blue appears, its stain spreading over the surface. Tendrils stretch across, their circuits entwining and dispersing, carving lucid pathways in their wake. The deepest blue requires more than just one application, it is a multitude of layers blended into one another, with slightly different circumstances and results each time, as sapphire streams ebb and flow concurrently. The azure currents of time, energy, and memory upwell and merge in union. Lea Thomas applies this aesthetic philosophy in her practice, creating a pool of the deepest blue for her hand-woven textiles. With a lineage harkening back to the traditional use of Japanese indigo in its process and symbolism, Thomas’s work echoes the motion of her predecessors, diving far under the waves of deep time. As the fibers submerge into a vat of natural dye, so does one’s consciousness surge in connection to our environment, our humanity,

Jan Groover created her famous Kitchen Still Lifes in 1978 and 1979. Using a large-format camera, she transformed colanders, knives, spatulas and baking pans into objects of beauty that still hold a visual interest that transcends their common use. Her seductively modern color palette of greens, pewter, bronze and brown tonalities permeates the space dissected by kitchen paraphernalia. These take on a new visual meaning as a result of Groover’s juxtaposition of the elements. Although never unrecognizable as everyday objects, these utensils float into an abstract amalgam of planes and shapes. When: Tuesdays-Sundays through May 11th, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Janet Borden, Inc (91 Water Street)

Judge rules against affordable housing construction in landmarked Crown Heights garden By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
The city’s need for affordable housing and services for the mentally ill should not influence the fate of landmarked buildings, according to a Brooklyn judge. Those are not among the criteria the Landmarks Preservation Commission is legally mandated to consider when deciding whether to give developers permission to make changes to landmarked properties, Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Katherine Levine ruled earlier this month. The case concerns the Dean Sage Mansion at 839 St. Marks Ave. in the Crown Heights North Historic District. It focuses on the city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s 2016 approval of a plan by the property’s owner, the Institute for Community Living, to construct a new building that would have occupied more than half of the mansion’s garden. The preservation commission’s decision was “arbitrary and capricious and based upon an error of law,” Levine wrote in an April 2 decision. She overturned the preservation agency’s approval of a plan to develop 70 apartments on the site — a mix of supportive housing for mentally ill adults and affordable units. She
did so by vacating a certificate of appropriateness the Landmarks Preservation Commission had issued. That’s a document property owners must obtain before altering the exteriors of landmarked buildings. The judge also ruled that the commission must hold a new hearing about the Dean Sage Mansion project. She said in her decision that cutting the size of the garden by 60 percent would obscure the eastern facade of the house — so it would no longer look like a stand-alone mansion. Most mansions in the landmarked district were torn down a long time ago, making the Dean Sage Mansion’s contribution to the neighborhood’s historic character especially important, Levine wrote.
WHAT FACTORS ARE WITHIN LANDMARKS’ JURISDICTION?
Levine’s ruling was a victory for community groups and neighborhood residents who’d filed suit against the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Institute for Community Living. The groups were the St. Marks Avenue Independent Block Association, the Bergen-Kingston Block Association and the Crown Heights North Association. The case is an Article 78 proceeding, which means it was brought against government agencies. In this type of
suit, the plaintiffs are called petitioners. The defendants are called respondents. An important architect, Russell Sturgis, designed the HighVictorian Gothic mansion. Dean Sage, who made his fortune in the lumber industry, constructed it in 1870. The Landmarks Preservation Commission erred in its decision-making by considering factors outside its legally mandated jurisdiction, Levine decided. In her ruling she cited landmarking law, which instructs the commission to consider “the factors of aesthetic, historical and architectural values and significance, architectural style, design, arrangement, texture, material and color” as well as “other pertinent matters.” The phrase “other pertinent matters” should be narrowly interpreted, the judge said in her decision. “It would be absurd and contrary to the raison d’etre of the [landmarks law] to give the [Landmarks Preservation Commission] carte blanche to consider, as pertinent to its determinations, factors that did not enhance and protect and perpetuate these buildings such as the LPC’s finding that it was socially desirable to build more housing for the developmentally challenged and/or the economic and fiscal constraints of developers of such projects,” Levine wrote in her ruling.

Eye on REAL ESTATE “We hope the Institute for Community Living will continue to use their other properties (of which they have more than 10 in Brooklyn) to provide supportive housing services to their target population,” she added. “We are extremely pleased by Judge Levine’s decision and believe it may have a wider impact,” Derrick Hilbertz, a petitioner in the Dean Sage Mansion case, told INBrooklyn.

Judge rules against affordable housing construction in landmarked Crown Heights garden — Continued from page 10INB — But in public hearings, commissioners “lauded the social and economic values espoused by the Institute for Community Living in expanding its mission at the [Dean Sage Mansion] site,” Levine wrote.
A spokesperson for the Institute for Community Living told INBrooklyn it’s “very disappointed” by Levine’s ruling, “which disregards the long-held principle that the Landmarks Preservation Commission is an expert panel whose decisions should be accorded deference.” The Institute is “considering all options for moving forward and remains fully committed to continuing with our mission as a nonprofit to help New Yorkers lead healthier lives,” the spokesperson said. “We went above and beyond to ensure the project was in sync with the historic district requirements and met with various community organizations to take questions and suggestions,” he told INBrooklyn. “We allocated considerable funds to fully restoring the mansion, which will benefit the entire community and enhance the historic district.” The spokesperson said there’s a “great and growing need” in Brooklyn for services the institute provides for people living with mental illness, substance abuse issues and developmental disabilities. “Our plans for the Dean Sage Mansion, where we have provided services since the late 1990s, would not only have allowed us to continue to provide support services to New Yorkers, but also created much-needed affordable housing for many more,” he said.
Preservation experts say Levine’s decision will remind the Landmarks Preservation Commission that its purpose is to preserve sites with historic, social or cultural significance rather than to promote affordable-housing construction. “Landmarks should be adaptively reused, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s oversight plays a crucial role in determining how historic buildings can appropriately evolve to be functional in the 21st century,” Kelly Carroll, the Historic Districts Council’s director of advocacy and community outreach, told INBrooklyn. “It is excellent that this ruling serves as an example that preservation, under the Landmarks Law, has nothing to do with [a building’s] use,” she said. “Hopefully this ruling will refocus the lens of preservation and aid in reminding all parties involved that preservation is about buildings, not their uses, however lofty or attractive aspirations might seem.” Carroll provided an expert affidavit to support the petitioners in the Dean Sage Mansion case. If the commission’s approval of the housing development in the mansion’s garden had been allowed to stand, “an unruly precedent would be introduced into Landmarks Preservation Commission proceedings,” Historic Districts Council Executive Director Simeon Bankoff told INBrooklyn. “Regardless if one wants the Landmarks Preservation Commission to have the ability to consider use in their judgments, they do not and this decision rightly doubles down on this determination of authority,” Bankoff said. “To have not done so might open the door to great uncertainty within the regulation of our city’s landmarks and an erosion of their continued existence,” he added.
‘WRONG COMPASS’ FOR THE LANDMARKS PRESERVATION COMMISSION
This is the eastern facade of the Dean Sage Mansion.
THE INSTITUTE FOR COMMUNITY LIVING IS ‘VERY DISAPPOINTED’
The city is considering whether to appeal Levine’s decision. “The [Landmarks Preservation] Commission thoroughly reviewed this proposal and determined the proposed changes will not detract from the historic and architectural character of the mansion or the Crown Heights North Historic District,” City Law Department spokesperson Nick Paolucci told INBrooklyn. “The Commission stands by its approvals and is evaluating its legal options, including whether to appeal this court ruling,” he said. Law Department attorneys represented the Landmarks Preservation Commission in the case.
Community groups took the Dean Sage Mansion case to court to compel Meenakshi Srinivasan, who was then the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s chairperson, to “reassess her priorities in fulfilling the agency’s mission, which is historic preservation, not housing,” Ethel Tyus of the Crown Heights North Association told INBrooklyn. “We felt vindicated for expending the money and time to closely examine what was actually happening within the inner workings of the Landmarks Preservation Commission,” she said. “The former Chair brought the wrong compass with her from her prior positions with the Board of Standards and Appeals and the Department of City Planning.” The community groups want the Dean Sage Mansion to be “preserved and celebrated for its design, its architecturally significant character and its importance to the entire historic district,” Tyus said.

Nationwide Titles Plates . Registration ON THE SPOT PLATES Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from April 25, 1945 ON APRIL 24, 1862, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. — A curious interest attaches to this remarkable French novel, which Mr. Carleton of New York has in press from advance foreign sheets. The author’s only other novel, ‘Notre Dame de Paris,’ was accepted by its publisher on condition that he should bring out every succeeding work by that author. ‘Notre Dame’ proved a brilliant success, and made the fortune of — the publisher. Victor Hugo then wrote ‘Les Miserables,’ determining to respect the condition, but to make his own terms with the unscrupulous brain-trafficker. These terms were at once rejected, and the author, unreleased from the old obligation, was obliged to put by his manuscript for a more favorable season. Year after year he renewed his proposals, increasing each year his demand, until at last the publisher died, and, after waiting nearly a quarter of a century, the well-seasoned, if not seasonable, ‘Les Miserables’ is in press.” ON APRIL 25, 1886, the Eagle reported, “Paris, April 24 — A stock company with a large capital has been organized for the purpose of erecting the tallest tower ever seen in the world in time for the International Exposition of 1889. The tower is to have a total height of 984 feet and will be supported on four pillars higher than the steeple of Notre Dame. The whole structure will cost $208,000. It will be surmounted by a group of electric lights, which will illuminate all Paris, and will, it is estimated, be visible at Dijon, 197 miles distant.” ON APRIL 25, 1945, the Eagle reported, “London, April 25 (U.P.) — British Lancasters attacked Hitler’s Berchtesgaden hideout with six-ton earthquake bombs today, and American reconnaissance pilots said fires still were burning close to it more than four hours later. There was no indication whether Hitler was at his mountain retreat when the R.A.F.’s biggest bombers struck at it for the first time, possibly in an attempt on the Fuehrer’s life. Intense antiaircraft fire from the batteries around Berchtesgaden led some observers to speculate that Hitler was there. The Nazis, however, have insisted he is directing the defense of Berlin. There are three primary targets in the Berchtesgaden area: Hitler’s country home; the SS barracks on the grounds, and Hitler’s mountain retreat, about five miles from the country home and called ‘The Eagle’s Nest.’” ON APRIL 26, 1952, the Eagle reported, “’It was at eleven that a delirium of joy and thanksgiving swept over humanity…’ Mrs. Esther Scholnick, mother of 11 children, eight of whom served in World War II, stood silently as the words of the American Legion’s 11 o’clock ritual were spoken last night at the sixth annual ball and entertainment of Maurice G. Jones Post in the Biltmore Ballroom, 2230 Church Ave. Her heart was full. It was one of the happiest moments of her life. From former Deputy Controller Milton Solomon, a past county commander of the Legion, she had just received the ‘Certificate of Merit.’ It was the Legion’s way of honoring Mrs. Scholnick and her husband, Louis, whose ‘eight valiant sons’ are now continuing their service to the community as Legionnaires. All eight were recruited by Post Commander William Panessa and inducted in November. Jones Post is the only one in the country with eight brothers as members. Somewhere in Kansas there’s a Legion post with five brothers. ‘I’m deeply touched, my heart is failing,’ said Mrs. Scholnick as she accepted the award.”
