Sketches OF

COURT

By Alba Acevedo Brooklyn Record

IN THIS COURTROOM SKETCH, HON. DAVID VAUGHAN LOOKS ON DURING A DIRECT examination in the summary jury motor vehicle accident trial Carazo v. Klein. Plaintiff Ray Carazo (on the stand) is lifting his arms to demonstrate how his range of motion was adversely affected by injury from the collision. Carazo was represented

by Jonathan Roberts (standing), of the law firm Talkin, Muccigrosso & Roberts.

The accident occurred at the intersection of East 29th Street and Avenue I in May 2014. Carazo testified that he was northbound on the one-way street, past the stop sign and inching around a stopped school bus on Avenue I after its driver waved him along. Carazo maintained that he never reached the middle of the intersection, and that Klein's vehicle hit his in a mostly front-to-front impact.

Defendant driver Klein was represented by Richard

Reinstein (at right), of Longo & D'Apice as trial counsel to the Offices of Karen L. Lawrence. Klein maintained that she was westbound in her unobstructed lane on Avenue I when her SUV was “almost T-boned” by Carazo's truck which spun her around. Klein denied crossing the double yellow traffic divider line, and testified that she could not open her driver's side door after the impact.

Roberts offered exhibits including photos purport-

ed to be representative of Klein's car after the accident, but Klein remarked, “That's not how I remember it.”

The jury returned a comparative plaintiff's verdict and awarded Carazo $50,000 for past pain and suffering, and $30,000 for future pain and suffering. The damages are to be apportioned based on the responsibility for the accident accorded to the defendant of 60 percent, in the trial that resolved last week in Kings County, Civil Term.

The Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn held its annual Italian Heritage and Culture Month and Columbus Day Celebration at Tiro A Segno Dinner Club in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

The annual event is one of the least formal events in the Brooklyn legal community, as there are no speeches and awards given out.

The Columbian Lawyers Association celebrated Italian Heritage and Culture Month on Thursday night with a dinner at Tiro A Segno Dinner Club in Manhattan where they enjoyed food and music.

Instead it’s just members of the Columbian Lawyers plus a few friends and family.

“This is my most fun event because I don’t have to say anything,” said President Susanne Gennusa. “There are no speeches; it’s literally just fun.”

Of course, at any Italian-American event like this, there is plenty of food. The crowd was served a five-course meal while classic Italian

music was played. Throughout the evening, it isn’t uncommon for groups of attorneys and judges to sing along to their favorite tunes.

“This is a celebration of our Italian heritage,” Gennusa said. “The mission of this association is all about promoting Italian culture, so we do this every year and it’s a very important event for us.”

The venue is part of the fun, as the dinner club features a subterranean gun range where people in attendance can practice their skills, firing rifles in a 25yard, slow-fire pistol range.

The event is meant as a way to promote collegiality amongst its members, whether they work together or as adversaries in the courtroom.

“I do think it helps us respect and appreciate each other,” Gennusa said. “We have monthly meetings, but the focus of those is on continuing legal education. This gives us an opportunity to get to know one another on a more personal level. I think we’re able to work together more easily because we respect each other, our profession and our personal expertise.”

Brooklyn Criminal Bar CLE will cover bail and discovery reform

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

Discovery and bail reform will go into effect next year and it means big changes are on their way for the justice system in the state.

To help attorneys prepare for this, the Kings County Criminal Bar Association will host a continuing legal education meeting tonight at the Brooklyn Bar Association where a pair of attorneys from Brooklyn Defender Services will go over exactly what the legal community needs to know going into the new year.

Attorneys Yung-Mi Lee and Al O’Connor, both from Brooklyn Defender Services, will give a lecture titled, "Everything You Need to Know About Discovery & Bail Reform," a topic that KCCBA President Christopher Wright called vitally important.

The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. at the Brooklyn Bar Association on Remsen Street.

Justice Jules Spodek, a beloved member of the Brooklyn legal community, died on Oct. 11 at the age of 91 in his home in Brooklyn Heights. Justice Spodek was affectionately known as a feisty jurist, after a newspaper article described him that way in 2002 during one of the biggest trials in his life.

While he carried himself very seriously in his courtroom, the feisty jurist nickname was one his family always laughed at, including at his funeral last week.

“We found it funny that some people regarded as him as stern and strict. In a New York Post article in 2002, they even described him as a ‘feisty jurist,’” said Spodek’s granddaughter Sammy Glickman.

“To us, he was the sweetest, kindest, most gentle man. While he may have been a strict judge in the courtroom, those who know the Spodek family knew that the real boss, and the one who always got the last word in was Grandma Horty.”

Justice Spodek is survived by his wife Hortense “Horty” Spodek; his two children Susan Glickman and Justice Ellen Spodek; four grandchildren, Melanie, Eric, Samuel and Hallie; and two great-grandchildren, Lilah and Levi.

Spodek was known as Julie to his friends, of whom he had many as he grew up in Midwood and worked throughout his career in Brooklyn.

A graduate of Brooklyn College and New York University School of Law, Spodek joined a two-attorney firm out of law school, Schoen and Spodek, which did general litigation work.

After roughly two decades in private practice, Spodek became a judge in the Brooklyn Civil Court in 1975 and eventually rose to the level of administrative judge.

In 1981, he was elected to the Brooklyn Supreme Court, where he served until his retirement in 2004. Post-retirement, Spodek served as a judicial hearing officer for the court system and as a private mediator.

Spodek was known for his commitment to the law, fairness and justice amongst those in the legal community, and he was an active participant in the New York County Bar Association and the Brooklyn Bar Association.

Justice Lawrence Knipel, administrative judge of the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Civil Term, served as confidential law clerk to Spodek from 1982 through 1990 and said that Justice Spodek was the person who taught him to be a judge.

“Even after 28 years on the bench, I sometimes find myself using phrases I first learned at his elbow,” Justice Knipel said.

“Justice Spodek’s ability, commitment and integrity set the gold standard to which all judges should aspire.”

His own daughter, Justice Ellen Spodek, said that after college she didn’t want to go to law school, but that her father always reminded her of the possibilities that a law degree would open up for her.

“He would say that he didn’t pressure me into going to law school if you asked him,” Ellen said. “But I wouldn’t be a judge if it weren’t for him. He used to always cut out wanted ads from the newspapers anytime he saw that they required a [law degree].”

Justice Spodek gained a bit of notoriety in New York City when, in 2002, he issued an injunction that forbade bus and subway workers from striking.

“Given the enormous, debilitating and destructive influence a strike would have, such action would wreak havoc upon this city,”’ Judge Spodek said at the time.

Justice Spodek was known as an active member of the East Meadow Jewish Center and Congregation Mount Sinai in Brooklyn Heights. He was also an amateur photographer and an avid sailor who served as a commodore at the Miramar Yacht Club in Sheepshead Bay. He often took his family sailing on his boat “The Three Belles” along the East Coast in the summer.

Justice Spodek was active politically and served as a delegate for the state of New York at the Democratic Party National Convention in Chicago in 1968 in support of Sen. Eugene McCarthy’s presidential campaign.

New York City Bar Association calls charter revision commission proposals confusing

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

The New York City Bar Association’s New York City Charter Revision Task Force issued a report this week concerning the various ballot measures that New York City voters will be asked to decide this year, and it raised concerns that the ballot doesn’t offer voters a clear choice, among other issues.

This Nov. 5, New York voters will have an opportunity to vote on alterations to the City Charter, which functions as the city’s constitution.

Included will be five questions regarding reforms to elections, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, ethics and governance, the city budget, and the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) through which zoning changes are approved.

The task force, chaired by Jerry Goldfeder, was created to monitor and report on the work of the Charter Revision Commission. When the release of the report was announced on Monday, a statement highlighted the commission’s decision to create bal-

lot questions that incorporated multiple proposals into a single item as the most problematic issue.

“A voter can be in favor of one or more of these changes, or against one or more,” said a statement issued by the city bar association. “Yet all…are combined into one Question, compelling the voter to approve all or none of them.”

It added that the method of combining changes, “will no doubt confuse some voters, and may provoke public cynicism, perhaps causing them either to refrain from voting or to reluctantly embrace changes they do not support.”

As a positive note, the City Bar Association did support the proposal of ranked choice voting (RCV) and added that it will help the state avoid costly primary runoff elections in the city. It did question why RCV would be limited for use only in primary and special elections and not the general election.

Ranked choice voting allows those casting ballots to list candidates in order of preference; as voters’ top choices are eliminated, their vote would automatically be given to the next candidate they have selected.

“This seems like a missed opportunity,” the Task Force opined. “The stated rationale for omitting RCV from general elections is that New York’s general election ballot permits fusion voting, in which a single candidate’s name may appear on the ballot multiple times on different party lines. Thus, the Commission believes, RCV in a general election might prove too confusing.”

The task force went on to express concern that not having RCV in general elections would making voting overall more confusing for citizens as they would be forced to navigate two different systems for primary and general elections.

“It is respectfully submitted that if the Commission had separated the proposals rather than combine multiple disparate proposals under five Ballot Questions, New York City voters would be able to cast their ballots more intelligently,” the task force said. “Indeed, had the Commission separated each proposal, this Task Force may not have supported all of the proposals. Given the structure of the five Questions, however, and despite certain stated misgivings, the Task Force is, on balance, supportive of each Question.”

Borough president honors Judge Quinones and Brooklyn DA's chief of staff

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

On Thursday, Oct. 17, the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President held its annual Hispanic Heritage Month event where it honored various local Latinx leaders.

A total of nine people were honored on Thursday, including two members of the local legal community — Judge Joanne Quinones, acting justice of the Supreme Court, Criminal Term; and Maritza Mejia-Ming, chief of staff at the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

Borough President Eric Adams presented both of them with citations on behalf of his office as well as fellow honorees José Andrade, Manny Almonte, Bryan Bautista, Miguelina Camilo, David Lopez, Dr. Miguel Martinez-Saenz and Yael “Dex” Pasian.

“Our annual Latino heritage event at Borough Hall recognizes and celebrates the unique contributions of the Latino community to the great borough of Brooklyn,” Adams said. “I commend all the honorees, including Judge Joanne Quinones and Maritza Meija-Ming, for being outstanding public servants. I have always said that our borough’s diversity is our strength, and the roster of honorees we recognized last night is a testament to that.”

The event was co-sponsored by the Brooklyn Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and was a part of the borough president’s annual recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Denise Felipe Adams served as the master of ceremonies for the event that also featured short speeches by the borough president and Councilmember Laurie Cumbo, a dance performance by Ballet Hispanico and a keynote speech by artist Domingo Zapata.

News From Your Neighborhood NEW FORT GREENE TOWER TO HOUSE MUSIC SCHOOL

FORT GREENE — Gotham Organization, a developer, and FX Collaborative, an architect, are planning to develop a 22-story residential tower that will also house the Brooklyn Music School, according to Curbed. The project would rise next to the school’s existing building at 126 St. Felix St. in Fort Greene.

It will have a neo-Romanesque design with a pattern of vertical windows and light-colored brick and limestone. The enlarged music school facility will allow for additional and more diverse programming, Curbed said. The development will have 120 new residential units, about 36 of which will be allocated for moderate-income households. Gotham bought the empty lot for $5.5. million in 2015. 

OFFICIALS JOIN PUSH FOR BAY RIDGE HATE CRIME PROBE

BAY RIDGE — City Councilmember Justin Brannan (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bath Beach) and fellow Bay Ridge elected officials, including U.S. Rep. Max Rose, State Sen. Andrew Gounardes and Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus, have formally asked the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force to investigate Saturday’s incident at T.J. Maxx in Bay Ridge. As the Eagle reported, a Muslim couple in the store were verbally harassed and physically assaulted by a woman who told them to “go back to your country.” “Bay Ridge is a diverse community where residents of all different faiths, races, and backgrounds live together peacefully. When an incident like this goes unpunished, it threatens the very fabric of this community and makes our constituents feel less safe in their own neighborhood,” the officials said in a joint statement. Bay Ridge is home to one of the largest Arab and Muslim communities in the city. 

ROBBERY CREW HITS STORES IN B’KLYN NABES

BOROUGHWIDE — A group of robbers has stolen more than $75,000 in jewelry, cash and electronics in Brooklyn, according to the New York Post. The most recent heist occurred at NY Jewelry in Downtown Brooklyn on Oct. 19. Surveillance video shows one of the crew pointing a pistol at an employee while a second man keeps watch and the others steal jewelry. On Oct. 5, the bandits held up La Casa de Oro in Bushwick and stole $50,000 in jewelry and $4,000 in cash, the Post reported. They also robbed a Metro PCS store in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Sept.

23 and a T-Mobile store in East Flatbush on Sept. 27. In both robberies, they forced employees into the bathroom before carrying out their heists. Their first stick-up took place at Clean City Laundry on Bushwick Avenue on Sept. 19. 

AMITY STREET IS MOST EXPENSIVE STREET IN B’KLYN

COBBLE HILL — A street in Cobble Hill is the only one in the borough that got into the top 15 of PropertyClub’s list of the city’s 50 most expensive streets, according to Patch. The three-block long street, which has a median price of about $2.5 million, landed in 11th place on the list. The next-most expensive Brooklyn corridor was India Street in Greenpoint, at No. 31. The city’s top-ranked street, Central Park South, had a median sales price of $9.8 million. Home sales at one development, The Cobble Hill House at 78 Amity St., drove the price up, Patch said. The building is on the former Long Island College Hospital campus. 

FIVE-STORY BUILDING PLANNED FOR W’BURG

WILLIAMSBURG — Permits have been filed for a five-story residential building at 222 North 8th St. in Williamsburg, according to New York YIMBY. The location, between Driggs Avenue and Roebling Street, is one block from the L train’s Bedford Avenue subway station. W Square, the development arm of WSQ Global, is listed as the owner on the application, and Marat Mutlu is listed as the architect of record. The building will have five apartments, most likely condos, according to New York YIMBY. 

BROOKLYN SHOPPER SUES WHOLE FOODS OVER SOY MILK

EAST FLATBUSH — An East Flatbush shopper upset about the flavor of her soy milk has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Whole Foods, claiming that the company’s advertisements for its own brand of soy milk is misleading customers into thinking that only real vanilla is used, according to Patch.

Brooklynite Walletta Burke is one of 27 people suing food makers across the country because of vanilla “food fraud.”

Burke’s attorney, Spencer Sheehan, told Patch that everything from yogurt to cookies to ice cream is mislabeled as vanilla when manufacturers really are using a substitute for vanilla beans. The ingredients list for Whole Foods’ vanilla soy milk puts natural flavors above organic vanilla extract, Patch said.

Halloween brings many beloved traditions, like trick-or-treating, wild parties, upstate apple picking and entertaining friends with spooky stories.

KURUCS APPEARS IN B’KLYN SUPREME COURT

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs appeared in Brooklyn Supreme Court in connection with his domestic violence case on Monday, according to the New York Post. The NBA star arrived in court in a dark suit and was ordered back to work on Nov. 19. Kurucs is accused of assaulting his live-in girlfriend on June 27 in their Gowanus apartment.

TOUR CO. HOLDS LAUNCH EVENT IN DUMBO

DUMBO — Collette, a tour operator, unveiled its tours for next year at an event in DUMBO, drawing travel agents from the tri-state area, according to Travel Pulse. The company plans to offer 165 tours next year, including 20 new ones in places ranging from Portugal to Nashville to the Greek islands. Dan Sullivan, CEO, said the company had done launch events before but wanted to be more “hip” by locating in a neighborhood like DUMBO, Travel Pulse said. The company originated in 1918, giving tours in New England and Canada. 

MAN ROBBED IN BARBERSHOP CHAIR

WILLIAMSBURG — Police are investigating an incident in which a man was robbed at gunpoint last week while getting his hair cut in Williamsburg, according to NY1 News. Surveillance video captured the scene on Oct. 14 at the barbershop at 139 Maujer St. While the victim was in the barber’s chair, a man behind him pulled out a gun and demanded cash and valuables.

STUDIO IN ONCE-UNWANTED HEIGHTS BLDG. SELLS FOR $499K

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — When the plain-looking co-op apartment building at 45 Grace Court was built in the mid-1960s, Brooklyn Heights preservationists unsuccessfully went to court to try and stop it. Now, however, a studio apartment there is selling for $499,000, according to Brownstoner. The unit has two sets of full-wall, built-in bookcases, a half-wall divider between the living room and sleeping area, a separate kitchen and a large walk-in closet. The kitchen has modern appliances, and the bathroom was recently renovated with tan tile walls.

EVICTION OF CANCER PATIENT POSTPONED UNTIL JANUARY

BROWNSVILLE — The city’s Housing Court has delayed an eviction against a cancer-stricken tenant at NYCHA’s Woodson Houses in Brownsville, according to Patch. The Legal Aid Society has urged NYCHA to stop attempting to evict Sanchez because he is too occupied caring for his elderly mother to take care of his eviction case. The tenant, William Sanchez, was never added to the official tenant list because his mother is too ill to go to the housing office and fill out the necessary forms, Patch reported.

BENSONHURST — Bensonhurst-born Daniel Paterna’s new cookbook, “Feast of the Seven Fishes: A Brooklyn Italian’s Recipes Celebrating Food and Family,” includes photos of the neighborhood and a family memoir alongside the recipes, according to the Brooklyn Reporter. Among the dishes Paterna spotlights are arancini, eggplant parmesan and torta dolce di ricotta, a cheesecake made with ricotta rather than cream cheese. The Feast of the Seven Fishes refers to a meal containing seven different seafood dishes that is customarily served on Christmas Eve. Paterna told the Home Reporter that when outsiders think of Italian American Brooklyn, they often think in stereotypes. Some people have asked him whether he knows anyone in the Mafia, while one co-worker, upon hearing his Brooklyn accent, suggested speech therapy. “I always felt we grew up in a very dignified house. My mother abhorred `The Sopranos,’” he said. 

MAN CRASHES INTO PARKED BUS AND DIES

EAST NEW YORK — A man who was arrested in August for crashing into a bus while driving a stolen Cadillac was killed Sunday night after he smashed his car into a garbage truck in East New York, according to the New York Post. Zachariah Johnson, 22, was speeding east on Cozine Avenue when he veered into the westbound lane and slammed into the parked garbage truck. A passerby pulled Johnson’s body out of his demolished Toyota Camry just as the car was beginning to catch fire, the Post said. He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. In August, he was arrested and charged with grand larceny, reckless endangerment and possession of marijuana.

Marine Park hosts party in the pumpkin patch featuring costumes, crafts and climbing

By Noah Singer INBrooklyn

“Costumes, games and fall fun! What more can you ask for?” said State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, when asked about the Marine Park 34th Halloween Fall Festival.

His words rang true on Saturday afternoon when the festival drew nearly 3,000 participants who came to celebrate mid-fall and the Halloween season with their families. The festival is organized annually by the Marine Park Community Association along with the New York City Dept. of Parks & Recreation.

At the festival’s “pumpkin patch,” kids chose small pumpkins to decorate at nearby tables.

Other attractions included face painting, balloon animals, temporary tattoos and popcorn.

The festival’s costume contest awarded ribbons and gift cards to kids for their creative attire. Among the winners were a tyke in a tiny chef outfit and another clad adorably as Super Mario.

True to tradition, the City Parks Foundation’s popular CityParks PuppetMobile provided free marionette shows for attendees of all ages. For older kids and adults, the NYPD contributed to the festivities by bringing in a towering rock wall.

“We were proud to co-sponsor this exciting event in partnership with the Marine Park Community Association. It was a fun-filled day for the community, and especially for the children,” said Marine Park Director Margot Perron. “It was truly a collaborative effort as the Marine Park Community Association, NYPD, our Urban Park Rangers and students from the local high school rallied together to bring crafts, a climbing wall, face painting, puppets and much more to this festival.”

Paul Link of the Marine Park Community Association said that this was the first year that the event was held on the Fillmore Avenue side of the park, between Madison Place and Marine Parkway. The organizers plan to keep the festival in this location for future years.

“The Marine Park Fall Festival is a valued local tradition and I am glad that members of my team could be there to join in the fun,” said Gounardes, who sent representatives to the event.

Allison Lan held her pumpkin.

REAL ESTATE

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

You can walk from Boerum Hill to Brownsville on Bergen Street. What a fine stroll.

There are pre-Civil War brick rowhouses, an industrial area that residents want to rezone, clusters of Romanesque Revival homes and elegant churches.

You can walk this route in a single day if you aren’t an obsessive-photo taker. But I am, so I split the stroll into two successive days — and two separate stories. This is Part One. Bergen Street begins at Court Street. If you don’t live close enough to walk here, take the 2,3,4,5 or R subway to august, landmarked Brooklyn Borough Hall and stroll several blocks.

Court Street is full of interesting shops — and movie theaters, which is a great thing since there aren’t as many of them in Brooklyn as old-school filmgoers would like. Be sure to come back another time and plan to stay a while.

On the first block of the walk, you’ll see an eye-catching cluster of wood-frame rowhouses from 26 to 36 Bergen St. They are painted pastel colors, like Easter eggs.

On the other side of the street, old brick houses alternate with new low-rise multi-family buildings.

Welcome to Bergen Street, where pre-Civil War rowhouses mingle with eye-catching institutional and commercial buildings.

INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

Bergen Street begins here, at the corner of Court Street.

Near the intersection of Smith Street, there are upscale stores such as eyeglasses seller Warby Parker (55 Bergen St.) on the ground floors of the residential buildings.

When I got to Smith Street, I was tempted to make a detour and spend the whole day there, photographing the restaurants and bars and shops.

Wood-frame houses grace the first block of Bergen Street in Boerum Hill.

Instead, I stopped at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream (81 Bergen St.) which is open at breakfast time, bless their hearts. Yeah, it was early in the day. But a signboard out front mentioned seasonal flavors like pumpkin cheesecake ice cream.

If caffeine is your preferred fuel for a walk, Single Origin (85 Bergen St.) will make you a cup of coffee.

HUMPHREY BOGART WAS A DESCENDANT Since we’re focusing on Bergen Street, surely you want to know where its name comes from.

The Bergens were one of Brooklyn’s prominent families in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The clan descended from a ship’s carpenter from Bergen, Norway named Hans Hansen Bergen, who came to Dutch-controlled New Amsterdam (which is present-day lower Manhattan) in the 1630s, Leonard Benardo and Jennifer Weiss’s book “Brooklyn By Name” says.

Bergen married Sara Rapalje and they moved to an estate near the present-day Brooklyn Navy Yard, a posting on the Bowery Boys Podcast’s blog says. Rapalje was the first female child born to European parents in New Netherland (a Dutch colony stretching from Albany to Delaware).

Rapalje remarried after Bergen died. Her second husband was named Teunis Gysbertsen Bogaert. Beloved actor Humphrey Bogart was one of their descendants, a posting on New Netherland Research Center says.

PRE-CIVIL WAR ROWHOUSES Several blocks of Bergen Street are located within the Boerum Hill Historic District, which was designated in 1973, or the Boerum Hill Historic District Extension, which was designated in 2018 thanks to the Boerum Hill Association’s persistent advocacy.

The earliest rowhouses in these landmarked areas were constructed in the late 1840s and early 1850s. Many others were built in the 1860s and 1870s.

On Bergen Street, the landmarked sections of Boerum Hill start soon after you cross Smith Street and end at the intersection of Nevins Street.

One of my favorite spots on this part of the walk is the sevenhouse brick row from 106 to 118 Bergen St. A developer named Joseph C. Billin constructed the Italianate-style houses in 1867, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the Boerum Hill Historic District Extension says.

The house in the middle of the row, 110 Bergen St., is painted a soft creamy color that makes the red-hued brick homes on either side look especially pretty.

The beauty and tranquility of these blocks will soothe your brain a bit, which is helpful given all the vexations that come with living in America these days.

HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS AND POTTED PLANTS Another eye-catching block starts at the corner of Hoyt Street, where a slim residential building at 133 Bergen St. was constructed around 1872.

Next to it, there’s a row of brick houses with Italianate features from 135 to 163 Bergen St. A builder named John Monas constructed the homes between 1871 and 1873, the Boerum Hill Historic District’s designation report says.

Lots of people have Halloween decorations on their stoops, which is fun to see. Though it’s October, lush foliage on the trees is mostly summer-time green. Flowers are still growing in some of the front gardens.

Keep your eyes peeled for the potted plants with enormous leaves on the balconettes, stoop and front patio of 226 Bergen St. They’re fabulous.

By the way, this house is part of a looong row of Italianatestyle brick homes constructed for Helen Martense in 1855, the Boerum Hill Historic District Extension’s designation report says.

In the mid-19th century, the Martense family was one of the big landowners in what is now called Boerum Hill, along with the Hoyt, Nevins and Gerritsen families, the book “Brooklyn by Name” says.

THE HOUSE OF PAIN As you continue your Bergen Street stroll, you’ll pass the Veterinary Wellness Center of Boerum Hill, which is at 96 Third Ave. There are entrances on different sides of the building for cats and dogs. The vet’s website explains there are separate hospitals for felines and canines to help reduce the stress that pet patients experience during their treatment.

When you get to busy Fourth Avenue, be sure to stop in the median strip for a look at Brooklyn’s best-known landmark, the Williamsburgh Savings Bank.

The 512-foot tower topped with a four-sided clock looms large though it’s several blocks away at 1 Hanson Place.

The neo-Romanesque building was constructed between 1927 and 1929. Architecture firm Halsey, McCormack & Helmer designed it.

These days, it’s a residential condo building — but you might remember it was called the House of Pain for many years because lots of dentists were tenants when it was an office building.

After you cross Fourth Avenue, you’re in Park Slope for a couple blocks. The brownstones are beautiful on the block between Fourth and Fifth avenues.

At the intersections of both these avenues, you get an eyeful of the some of the high-rise apartment buildings at Atlantic Yards.

That’s what community leaders, elected officials and everybody else I’ve ever met calls the 22-acre mega-development despite its name change to Pacific Park several years ago.

On the Bergen Street block between Fifth Avenue and Flatbush Avenue, you’ll find a row of shops with old-fashioned storefronts.

Gorilla Coffee is one of the tenants (472 Bergen St.) if you’re still in need of caffeine.

Here’s the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Clocktower seen from the intersection of Bergen Street and Fourth Avenue.

INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan Once you’re on the far side of the avenue, you’re in Prospect Heights. One of the first things you’ll see is the NYPD’s 78th Precinct Stationhouse, with its handsome, dignified exterior. It’s on a Bergen Street corner at 65 Sixth Ave. A couple blocks of Bergen Street are located within the Prospect Heights Historic District. Most of the rowhouses and apartment buildings in this landmarked area were constructed in the second half of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century.

Two of my favorite Bergen Street houses are in the historic district. Both of them have mansard roofs. They face each other on opposite corners of Carlton Avenue.

The neo-Grec house at 560 Carlton Ave., which has a brick facade on Bergen Street and a brownstone facade on the avenue, was designed by architect Charles Werner and constructed around 1882, the Prospect Heights Historic District’s designation report says. Mary Skelly was the original owner.

The mansard roof at 575 Carlton Ave. was probably added some time since the late 1980s, to what was originally an Italianate brownstone constructed between 1869 and 1880, the report notes.

The side of the house that faces the avenue is resurfaced in black and the window surrounds are orange.

BROWNSTONES, BIBIMBAP AND A BAKERY

A brownstone row on Bergen Street’s landmarked block between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues has deep front lawns.

The landmarked district’s boundary on Bergen Street is Vanderbilt Avenue.

A four-story building that wraps around this corner and uses 638 Bergen St. as its address is especially eye-catching. It was MANSARD ROOFS IN PROSPECT HEIGHTS constructed around 1891. It has a three-story, barrel-shaped It will take you a couple minutes to cross mammoth Flatbush window bay above its front door.

Daniel O’Connell designed the combination Romanesque Avenue — which by the way has lots of interesting restaurants Revival-Renaissance Revival property and was its first owner, and shops and deserves a return visit. the Prospect Heights Historic District’s designation report says.

The brick and brownstone building looks like it could use a little TLC, but not to worry. Minor facade work and a gut rehab of the second, third and fourth floors are planned, city Buildings Department filings indicate.

Cater-cornered to 638 Bergen St., there’s a trio of Italianate brick residential buildings with storefronts, namely 597-599-601 Vanderbilt Ave., that property owner John Doherty constructed around 1879.

Chef Liz Kwon’s nouvelle Korean restaurant, which is called White Tiger, is located on the ground floor of 601 Vanderbilt Ave. Non-landmarked Prospect Heights extends for another couple blocks on Bergen Street. The neighborhood’s boundary is Washington Avenue.

In a cluster of buildings at the corner of Washington Avenue, you’ll find a good spot for dessert at 740 Bergen St. It’s called the Bakery on Bergen. The shop got a makeover on an episode of the Bravo TV series “Get a Room with Carson & Thom.”

This is as far as I’m walking Low-rise buildings at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Bergen Street frame a view today. Next week, I’ll tell you about of Atlantic Yards high-rises. the rest of my Bergen Street stroll.

The eye-catching building on the corner is 638 Bergen St.

ON OCT. 23, 1960, the Brooklyn Eagle reported, “Sen. Jack Kennedy returns this week to pivotal Brooklyn in an attempt to clinch enough votes in the borough to swing New York State over to his column in the Electoral College. He will make six speeches here in strategic spots. Riding high, after what Brooklyn Democrats called a ‘tremendous visit,’ the presidential contender from Massachusetts will deliver an address at the Eastern Parkway Arena Thursday night. Kennedy spoke to an estimated 30,000 persons on a quick swing through Brooklyn.

Several times during the ride through the borough’s streets, he was almost pulled from the rear of his open convertible by well-wishers. In a new development, President [Dwight] Eisenhower announced yesterday that he and Vice President [Richard] Nixon would make major campaign speeches in New York Nov. 2. Nixon had previously canceled his single scheduled appearance in the boro. Kennedy, campaigning yesterday through Missouri and Kansas, called on Nixon to abide by Eisenhower’s code of ‘face to face’ settlement of differences by agreeing to a fifth ‘Great Debate.’ Vice President Nixon, on a campaign swing in Eastern Pennsylvania, broadened his attack on Kennedy on the Cuban issue.”  ON OCT. 23, 1962, the Eagle reported, “Washington (UPI) — President Kennedy last night clamped a Naval blockade on Cuba because Soviet intermediate range missiles and other arms had turned the island into an armed camp capable of hurling destruction into the heart of America. The blockade on shipment of offensive weapons to the Fidel Castro regime was part of a seven-step program ordered by the president to meet the ‘threat to hemispheric security’ posed by the Soviet arms buildup. The president said the Naval blockade would not deny Cubans the civilian necessities of life. The buildup, the president said in a nationwide radio and television report to the people, now includes medium range ballistic missiles capable of firing nuclear warheads for more than 1,000 miles …

The United States, the president said, was asking for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council where this country will introduce a resolution calling for prompt dismantling and withdrawal of all offensive weapons in Cuba under U.N. supervision. The president said the offensive weapons would have to be removed before the quarantine could be lifted. He called on Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev ‘to halt and eliminate this clandestine, reckless and provocative threat to world peace and to stable relations between our two nations.’”  ON OCT. 24, 1945, Eagle sportswriter Tommy Holmes wrote, “The thing about the Jackie Robinson story today that strikes right out and hits you between the eyes is that the first Negro ever to be signed to a contract in organized baseball may be blocked from a bona-fide test by members of his own race. The Kansas City Monarchs, for whom Robinson played this summer, are preparing a formal protest to Commissioner Happy Chandler. They do not like the fact that our Mr. Branch Rickey signed their star ball player to a contract with the Montreal Royals, No. 1 farm club of the Dodgers.

Whether the commissioner of baseball will deem it unfair practice to sign a player under contract to a club in an established Negro league remains to be seen. If he upholds the protest, it may be years before another opportunity opens up for a Negro in organized baseball again.”

Halloween is nigh: Here’s where you can see dogs in costumes

By Alex Williamson Bay Ridge Eagle

Halloween brings many beloved traditions, like trick-or-treating, wild parties, upstate apple picking and entertaining friends with spooky stories.

But objectively, the very best Halloween tradition is watching dogs prance around in costumes. Here are some spots where you can do that.

Fort Greene — Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest at Fort Greene Park, Oct. 26, 11:30 a.m.

This is your once-a-year chance to see what has been hailed as “the greatest dog costume contest in New York City,” where production value is high and competition is fierce.

Pre-registration for dogs entering the contest sold out in record time this year, but walk-up registration is open for the first 40 entrants on a first-come, firstserved basis, so arrive early to ensure your pup gets a spot.

The contest is held alongside the Fort Greene Park Halloween Festival, which will include face painting, a pumpkin patch, train rides and more.

Proceeds will go to local rescue org. Fort Greene PUPS. Can’t make it?

Watch the livestream on the nonprofit’s Facebook page.

Astoria — Halloween Harvest Festival at Socrates Sculpture Park, Oct 26, 12 p.m. – 4 p.m.

This event hosted by the Parks Department will not only have an adorable canine costume contest with great prizes, but also a Blessing of the Animals and a pet memorial altar.

The festival is inspired by Haitian Festival of the Ancestors, and will include a Gede song workshop, card readings, a costume-making workshop, face painting, a dance performance and a drum procession.

The “Survival of the Slowest” exhibit at Brooklyn Children’s Museum opens Oct. 26.

Coney Island — Dog-O-Ween at Coney Island Brewing Co., Oct. 27, 2 p.m. – 6 p.m.

For the second year running, Coney Island Brewing Co. will host “Dog-OWeen, Pups n Pints.” Bring your pup (in costume, obviously) and enter them in a contest for a shot at prizes. Dogs can also perform tricks for treats, and have their portraits taken in a puppy photo booth.

The Dog-O-Ween contest is a benefit for pet adoption service Rescue City.

The suggested donation is $10 at the door, and a dollar from every Mermaid Pilsner will go to benefit the animal org.

Rescue City will be on site with adoptable dogs, so don’t drink so much that you accidentally take someone home with you (a good rule of thumb in general).

Long Island City — Dog Costume Contest at Fifth Hammer Brewing, Oct. 28, 6 p.m. – 10 p.m.

Dolled-up dogs will square off for coveted prizes and parade through the brewery at the second annual costume competition.

Registration for the contest is encouraged.

The event is a “Halloween Party for People and Pups,” so come whether you have a dog or just wish you did.

Bay Ridge — Spooktacular Costume Contest at Vinny’s Pet Shop, Oct. 26, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

This family-owned pet shop has been in the neighborhood since 1978, and now they’re offering customers another way to celebrate their animals — by dressing them up in silly outfits.

Stop by Saturday with your costumed dog (or cat, or ferret) and enter to win a $100 Vinny’s gift card.

Mosey over to Brooklyn Children’s Museum for new slow animals exhibit

By Alex Williamson Bay Ridge Eagle

Tired of the breakneck pace of life in New York City? A new exhibit from the Brooklyn Children’s Museum could be just the escape you need. The museum is debuting a “Survival of the Slowest” exhibit, featuring a two-toed sloth, hedgehogs, a chameleon and other slow-moving animals to remind us all there’s value in chilling out and taking it easy.

The exhibit will feature 19 distinct habitats with incredible creatures who’s defining characteristic is their utter lack of hustle.

Through live presentations from expert handlers, kids will not only get to experience a face-to-face encounter with these slow pokes, they’ll learn some basics of evolutionary science and biology.

The leisurely pace of these critters can actually be a smart adaptation in environments where the biggest, strongest and quickest animals often dominate. After all, slower animals eat less, burn less energy and blend in with their surroundings more readily than their speedier peers.

One of the exhibit’s stars is Roger, a two-toed sloth who will be residing at the museum throughout the three-month project. Handlers will remove Roger from his cage three times daily to allow him to show off his extraordinary skills at dilly-dallying.

That’s more moving around than the average sloth will ever do, since the extremely slow animals are vulnerable on the ground and, in the wild, only leave a tree to find a mate or to poop.

An iguana, tarantulas, tortoises, a blood python, a monitor lizard and many other animals will also take up residence at the museum during the exhibit.

“Survival of the Slowest” is a collaboration between the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and Canadian animal education company Little Ray’s Nature Centres. The traveling exhibit made its debut at the Canadian Museum of Nature last year.

The exhibit opens at Brooklyn Children’s Museum Oct. 26 and will run through Feb. 2, and is included with general admission, which is $13.

Cleo Le-Tan has outlined a pilgrimage for New York bibliophiles
