Bruce Berg, an executive vice president with the Cappelli Organization and a member of 247 North Avenue Associates LLC said he anticipates The Standard, a 112-unit, mixed-use building at 251 North Ave. would be opening during the first quarter of 2020.

The planned building at 247 North Ave. would be on a site currently occupied by the Planned Parenthood New Rochelle Center operated by Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic Inc.

“They put it on the market a couple of months back and we started a dialogue with them,” Berg told the New Rochelle Planning Board.

“We have structured the deal with them to give them the appropriate amount of time to find and relocate to new headquarters space.”

The new building at 247 North Ave. would contain 244 apartments. There would be 28 studios, 144 one-bedroom and 72 two-bedroom units.

There would be four levels of parking, including two below grade and two above grade on the second and third floors. Ground-level retail space would front on North Avenue.

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

DEVELOPER MAIN & MEMORIAL ASSEMBLAGE LLC wants to build a

28-story, mixed-use structure at 525 Main St. in New Rochelle.

The structure also would have frontage on Memorial Highway. The developer has assembled five lots to create a 22,000-square-foot parcel for the project. The building would contain 351 residential units along with 6,000 square feet of retail space. There would be 274 parking spaces provided.

And 10% of the units would be affordable.

The city’s review process has begun, including an informal presentation to the planning board and

the city reportedly has offered several comments that the developer may be planning to accommodate in its plans. The developer’s environmental assessment form is under review by the city.

According to attorney Anthony Gioffre III of the White Plains-based law firm Cuddy & Feder, there would be 31 studios, 268 one-bedroom units, 46 two-bedroom units and six three-bedroom units.

He said because the project is adjacent to Memorial Plaza, which honors local veterans, the developer reached out to a local veterans group with an offer to redesign the plaza. The developer also recently met with the library board to seek feedback and lis» 525 MAIN ST.

We discussed how we could make sure that the patient had as clean and as smooth of a relationship between provider and payer as possible.

“The other track is legislative.

In 2019, Empire and a large coalition worked hard with the legislative body in Albany towards the first-of-its-kind hospital surprise billing law getting passed.”

or Alan Murray, president and CEO of Empire BlueCross BlueShield, the new year is being framed as a period of reinvention.

Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor Phil Hall spoke with Murray regarding the direction in which he is taking the company.

What were the company’s signi�icant accomplishments of the past year?

“I started in September 2018 (and) 2019 has been, for me, a foundational year, and the biggest accomplishment we’ve had is re-establishing ourselves in the New York area — and part of that is refocusing on our overall purpose as an organization.

“What I think was a very bold and important mission for the organization is to measurably and materially improve the health of all New Yorkers in the next five years. There is a host of other things — we’ve introduced new networks, had a very significant change to the culture and the leadership team in order to get there, and we’ve introduced a new set of technology and approaches to help with our customers and to look at the costs, disease management and care.”

Can you tell us more about your technology-related accomplishments?

“We introduced a new app called Sidney and it is going to be available for our whole population. It is designed to be your whole health care application. If you are one of our members you can download your ID cards and look at your benefits. But what is really great about it is that you can type in generic questions like you are talking to Alexa or Google Home and it has the capability to answer you and follow you from that native text.

“The whole point is to make it as simple as possible. It also has online directories and we are beginning to introduce the ability for consumers to make appointments with physicians from that app.”

Some presidential candidates wouldn’t mind seeing your company go out of business and you losing your job. How do you respond to the calls for Medicare for All? “Right now, there isn’t enough data for us to look into that deeply. I focus on New York specifically. There is 5% of the population that is uninsured right now. It’s come down from 10%. And many of them are eligible for Medicaid and Medicare Advantage.”

Let’s look ahead for this year.

What is at the top of your agenda?

“It will be about explaining to the market that we sell dental, vision, disability. We have, with Anthem, our own pharmacy benefit manager. We sell accident and supplemental benefits.

“And what’s really powerful is that we all work within the same platform. So, we are able to monitor your entire health and not just one piece of it. What is powerful about that is the way we can communicate with physicians, and we can actually make a difference in providing total health care.

“Let me give you an example.

Most people are unaware that 20% of all opioids are prescribed by dentists. But a dentist typically doesn’t know that you might have had orthopedic surgery and that you may be on opioids. We now have the technology that interacts with our system and understands your health care landscape.

“With our vision providers, we’ve helped diagnose in the

past year thousands of diabetics that might have otherwise gone undiagnosed.”

That sounds proactive for a health insurance company.

Are your peers doing anything like it?

“I think our peers are in various stages. Technology is expanding and our competitors are looking at it in different ways. For us, our mission is about improving health, so how do we harness that to make a difference? Some of our peers are doing likewise and some of them have subtle but different strategies.”

What will you be doing to bring down costs of premiums?

“There are a number of different paths we are going down.

Most important is our collaboration with hospitals and providers.

“We’ve long had some very deep relationships, and I will give you an example. Michael Dowling, the CEO of Northwell Health, and I held a first-of-itskind presidents’ forum on

In 2020 the �irst wave of millennials will turn 40 as baby boomers move further into senior citizenry. How is your company addressing the needs of aging populations?

“We have an aging population that is also very familiar with technology and with a lot of networks and integrations we’ve had over the last 10 years.

For us, it is about providing people with all of the data they need in order to understand their own health.

“As someone ages out of employer insurance and into Medicare Advantage or Medicare supplemental plans, how do we make sure we provide the continuity with their physicians?

“For millennials, we focus on how do they access care. We’ve launched LiveHealth Online, which is our telemedicine provider, and we’ve also done the same for behavioral health. The same occurs with urgent care. We are seeing less use of PCPs and more use of unscheduled and convenience care.”

amount to the 'high' and 'low' numbers. The employer then determines the required cash wage based on whether the tips are below the 'low' threshold, between the 'low' and 'high' thresholds, or above the 'high' threshold,” the report said.

The report noted, “In a past assessment of wage theft cases investigated by the Department of Labor, nearly two-thirds of all minimum wage-related cases were in the miscellaneous industries covering miscellaneous industry workers. In 80% of cases, underpayments were found. In the hearings, numerous workers in the miscellaneous industries reported having their wages stolen.”

The DOL's report recommended that the tip wage credit be eliminated with a one-year phase-in that would, in part, give businesses time to adjust to the changes.

mployees who work for businesses that fall into a category the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) terms “miscellaneous industries” will no longer be allowed to be paid what it calls a “subminimum wage” under a DOL order that was issued as 2019 was coming to a close.

The Dec. 31 order will phase out during 2020 the ability for employers in those miscellaneous industries to use tips their employees receive to reduce the amounts they have to pay the workers.

Among those affected by the new order are nail salon workers, hairdressers, aestheticians (skin care, makeup), car wash workers, valet parking attendants, door persons, tow truck drivers, dog groomers and tour guides.

The restaurant industry is not affected.

The practice has been for tipped employees in the miscellaneous industries to be paid below the state minimum hourly wage by the employer if they earned enough in tips to make up the difference. The state minimum wage for Westchester County is $13 an hour until Dec. 31, 2020, when it becomes $14 an hour.

In his 2018 State of the State message, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo directed the state labor commissioner to examine the impact of the state policy allowing employers to take tip credits against minimum wage payments they have to make.

The DOL analyzed data that showed about 70,000 employees in the miscellaneous industries in the state likely were affected by the ability of their employers to use tips as credits against the minimum wage. The DOL conducted seven public hearings and received more than 3,000 written comments.

The DOL found there was widespread confusion among the workers as to whether they were entitled to earn the state's minimum wage and that there had been rampant wage theft by employers.

The amount employers have to pay and the credits that can be applied from tips are calculated using, in part, “high tips” and “low tips” amounts set by the state. The system was characterized in the DOL report as being complex and confusing.

“Each individual employer may calculate the amount of tips typically given to that employer's employees and compare that

In MEMoRiAM Scarsdale’s Stern remembered as sports, business visionary

BY GLENN J. KALINOSKI gkalinoski@westfairinc.com

D

avid Stern was hailed as a great visionary from the world of sports in the days following his death on New Year’s Day. The Scarsdale resident, who died at the age of 77, was much more than that.

Educated as a lawyer, he took a National Basketball Association (NBA) teetering on the edge of irrelevance (with games broadcast on tape delay) and turned it into a worldwide entertainment powerhouse.

While talk radio shows covered such Stern moves

as helping to create a salary cap for players, becoming NBA commissioner (a job he held for 30 years), increasing TV revenues, creating a dress code for players and issuing harsh punishments for those athletes who broke the rules, his most memorable accomplishment may have been exporting the game of professional basketball to the world.

Team owners were not entirely convinced regarding the wisdom of sending players to the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. Stern knew that the U.S. “Dream Team” could accomplish much more than crushing

the competition on the way to a Gold medal. Superstars who remain household names among basketball fans to this day, including Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley, were the stars of Spain that summer.

The current 2019-2020 season has featured more than 100 international athletes from 38 countries and territories. League games are broadcast on television in more than 200 nations and are played overseas.

The NBA’s fan base in China has expanded as its footprint constitutes a colossal business. More than 300 million people in the world’s

most populous nation play basketball.

In the 1980s Stern met with CCTV, China’s staterun TV network, to have NBA games broadcast in the country. The NBA Finals were shown live in China starting in 1994.

Numerous reports mentioned that Stern had no problem displaying a prickly personality. But this is proof that the most wellliked person in the room is not always the right man for the job. Stern was the right man at the right time and because of him the NBA is one more part of American culture that is embraced around the globe.

2020 may be a buyer’s market in Westchester

T

he fourth-quarter report on Westchester’s housing market from Rye Brook-based brokerage firm Houlihan Lawrence describes a “paradigm shift” taking place with sellers accepting that sale prices have been softer than in the past and buyers finding improved values among the houses that have been brought to market.

Stephen Meyers, Houlihan Lawrence’s chairman, along with CEO Chris Meyers, predicted that there will be great opportunities coming to market in early spring for buyers who are ready to buy.

“The Federal Reserve has indicated that interest rates are expected to stay low, so 2020 presents optimism that many more deals will come together in the markets north of New York City,” they said.

Luxury home sales, classified as those $2 million and higher, were down by 25% in the first half of 2019, but up by 28.6% in the fourth quarter to close the year off by

In 2019, there were no sales over $10 million reported and price reductions resulted in typical sales in the ultra-luxury end of the market taking place at an average of 26% lower than the original listing price.

in the Westchester luxury market was $890.5 million, compared with $986.6 million in 2018. The median sale price was $2,667,500 in 2019 compared with $2.65 million in 2018.

In Putnam and Dutchess counties, luxury home sales are classified as those of $1 million and higher. Those counties showed a com-

bined 23.8% decline in luxury sales for 2019 compared with 2018. Luxury dollar volume was off by 39.3%.

The total was $53.1 million in 2019 compared with $87.4 million the year before. The median sale price was down to $1.4 million in 2019 from $1,478,105 in 2018.

Houlihan Lawrence’s report covering all

Westchester single-family home sales showed a drop from 5,883 houses sold in 2018 to 5,832 in 2019. The average sale price in Westchester was $849,512 in 2019 compared with $856,675 in 2018. The median sale price was up to $655,000 in 2019 from $650,000 in 2018.

A 10-year market histo-

ry for Westchester indicated that while the average sale price in 2010 was $827,687 by the end of 2019 it had risen to $849,512. During 2010, 4,020 houses had been sold. In 2019, the number of sales in Westchester was 5,832. In 2010, the average number of days a property was on the market was 176 while in 2019 it fell to 77.

“We’ll also have fresh sushi in the store every day.

We’ll have our pizza shop, our sandwich shop, made-to-go salad station and all of our perishable food, world-class seafoods, meats and an amazing cheese shop,” he said.

Wegmans bought the property for $26.5 million from Normandy Real Estate Partners. The Harrison store will be joining the new Wegmans at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which was opened last fall. It would be the chain’s 48th store in New York state.

Eleven regional Pier 1 Imports stores face the prospect of closing after the home furnishings retailer announced plans to shut down up to 450 of its 942 stores.

Pier 1 Imports did not announce which stores it planned to close or what timeline it would pursue in the shuttering of retail operations.

“The fourth floor of the building is what we will develop as our amenity floor so we’ll have an indoor pool, yoga studio, game room, a kitchen and community lounge and an outdoor terrace,” Berg said. “We have designed the building in such a way as to not block the views from 251 North so the people who live in 251 North will maintain the views of Long Island Sound.”

Berg said there will be 11 residential units per floor on the lower floors.

“When we get up to floors nine through 28, we go down to 10 units,” he said.

Berg explained that in designing the building they created a jagged look to add to the visual interest of the building’s profile with the edges of the floor plates not being in perfect vertical alignment.

“We have the floor plates going in and out, creating some interesting shapes and it will be very noticeable on the skyline,” Berg said.

He described the exterior as largely being a glass curtain wall but with a mix of colors and other materials.

Berg said there would be roll-up doors for the garage entrances.

stores in Danbury, Fairfield and Norwalk.

In the Westchester-Hudson Valley market, the retailer can be found in Bedford Hills, Middletown, Mohegan Lake, Newburgh, Port Chester, Poughkeepsie, White Plains and Yonkers.

The company has been experiencing financial tumult with sales declines recorded across the last nine fiscal quarters. For the fiscal quarter that ended Nov. 30, Pier 1 Imports announced a $59 million loss, compared with the loss of $50.4 million from a year ago, while net sales fell to $358.4 million from $413.2 million a year ago. Same-store sales fell 11.4% in the most recent fiscal quarter and the company’s stock plummeted by more than 40% over the past 12 months.

Jersey and Illinois experienced more residents moving out of state.

North American Moving Services’ 2019 Migration Report ranked Connecticut eighth and New York 10th among the states that recorded the greatest residential departures in the past year.

The surveys follow a U.S. Census Bureau analysis that found New York and Connecticut losing population in the period between July 2018 and July 2019. New York, the nation’s fourth-most populous state, recorded the greatest population decline during this 12-month period with a loss of 76,790 residents.

Connecticut ranked fifth among the states with a shrinking population, with 6,233 fewer people at the conclusion of the 12-month period. In contrast, 40 states and the District of Columbia saw population increases.

Berg was asked for details about the indoor swimming pool they’re proposing for the project and he noted that in one of their projects in Stamford with RXR Realty they built an indoor pool.

“It’s been very well received and a very popular amenity with the crowd that we’re typically attracting to the job because they get to use it 12 months of the year as opposed to the outdoor pools which tend to run from the Fourth of July through Labor Day weekend,” he said.

Luis Aragon, New Rochelle’s commissioner of development, praised Berg and Louis Cappelli for moving ahead with this development in the LeCount Place area after having proposed a $450 million LeCount Place/ Anderson Street project in the mid-2000s that would have been called LeCount Square. The financial crisis of 2007-2008 and problems in the housing market intervened. He suggested the construction of the new project outlined

by Berg would be a bit like replacing a missing tooth, saying it “is completely going to change the experience downtown and the experience along that street, so I just wanted to say kudos to you guys for not giving up on us and bringing us the missing tooth.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James and her Connecticut counterpart William Tong have joined other attorneys general in filing a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review last summer’s decision by an appeals court that ruled the individual mandate aspect of the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional.

The lawsuit, Texas v. United States, was filed in February 2018 by 20 Republican state attorneys general and governors and chal-

lenged the constitutionality of the individual mandate after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ended ACA’s individual mandate penalty beginning in 2019. The plaintiffs argued the mandate was unconstitutional without the penalty, adding that the ACA also needed to be struck down because the mandate was central to its existence.

The Trump administration backed the effort to strike down the mandate via the case.

Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans ruled 2-1 that the mandate was unconstitutional, but declined to go further on considering the ACA’s overall fate.

“The individual mandate is unconstitutional because it can no longer be read as a tax, and there is no other constitutional provision that justifies this exercise of congressional power,” the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling said. “On the severability question, we remand to the district court to provide additional analysis of the provisions of the ACA as they currently exist.”

ten to concerns. He said the library board indicated it would be redesigning its courtyard and the developer feels there would be an opportunity to work with the library on architectural elements.

According to the project’s architect, Susan Doban of Brooklyn-based Doban Architects, each side would be treated differently in terms of its finish.

“The side facing Main Street has more, richer brick detailing to relate to the context of Main Street and the side facing Memorial has a prominent base, which is permissible within the zoning because of the depth of the street there and it serves as more of a backdrop in a lot of ways and even a visual extension of the greenery of the plaza,” she said.

According to the project’s plans, the cellar of the building includes mechanical equipment and parking. The first floor has the lobby entrance and three retail spaces along with a garage entrance. Full valet parking will be offered along with car elevators. There would be some parking spots on the ground level. On the second floor is a single level of parking and car stackers would be placed on floors three and four.

Beer and a movie CUOMO PROPOSES EXPANDED ALCOHOL SALES AT NEW YORK’S THEATERS

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

W

hen Humphrey Bogart proposes a toast to Ingrid Bergman with “here’s looking at you, kid” during a screening of “Casablanca” at a New York movie theater, he no longer will have to do it alone if a proposal by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo finds enough support in Albany.

Cuomo wants to expand the licensing of movie theaters to serve alcoholic beverages as part of an effort to help the craft beverage industry and movie exhibitors and attract new investments in beverage manufacturing in New York.

Cuomo said the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) law needs modernization, including reforming Prohibition-era regulations that prohibit relationships between alcohol manufacturers/wholesalers and retailers.

Cuomo also wants a new license created to make it easier for institutions of higher education to train students to go into the craft beverage industry. Currently, licensing an educational institution for manufacturing alcoholic beverages, necessary to teach students how to do it, is complicated and time-consuming.

Cuomo said his plan “will remove Prohibition-era rules that hamper private-sector investment, ensure we’re training the next generation of workers in a critical industry and give more New Yorkers the opportunity to responsibly enjoy a drink at the movies.”

Cuomo’s proposal would allow the sale of beer, wine, cider, mead and spirits at movie theaters. Currently, only theaters that have full kitchens and are equipped with tables inside the auditoriums can get a license to serve alcohol to their customers. Cuomo is proposing that adults going to see movies with ratings of PG-13 or higher could purchase alcoholic beverages. They could only be sold one drink at a time.

Joe Masher, CEO of Bow Tie Cinemas, which has offices in Ridgefield, Connecticut, as well as Times Square in New York City, told the Business Journal that he was pleased by Cuomo’s proposal. Masher has been urging an updating of the law both in his capacity with Bow Tie and as president of the National Association of Theater Owners of New York State (NATO). Bow Tie operates theaters in Bronxville, Greenburgh and Mount Kisco in Westchester. The chain has about 400 screens in approximately 50 locations in several states.

“We have fought long and hard for movie theaters without full kitchens and permanent tables at every seat to have the ability to apply for a liquor license with the State Liquor Authority,” Masher said. “Theater chains (that) sell alcohol in other states have an impeccable record of safety and staff training for responsible service.”

“Theaters have always had a fight to survive over the years. First it was television that was threatening the life of movie theaters. Then it was cable television. Then the home video and then streaming,” Masher said. “ Our attendance is good as long as the product is good but unfortunately the way that the economics

Masher said that while contracts with studios for the films shown vary, it’s not unusual for studios to take 90% of ticket sales on hit pictures.

“Any incremental revenue that we can generate over the concession stand is very, very helpful to the operation of the business as compared with raising ticket prices. It’s better to offer an amenity that people actually want than to have people suffer through another price increase,” he said.

ThE nEXT Big Thing Anchor Shops will house more than 40 native digital retailers

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com Editor’s note: This is the premiere of a new Business Journal series that shines a spotlight on businesses, trends, products and services that are beginning to take root in other markets, but have yet to make their presence known in this region.

Could these intriguing endeavors be “the next big thing” in shaping the local business scene? Only time will tell. But, at the very least, you learned about them here �irst.

A

s the managing partner in the New York City investment management company Case Equity Partners LLC, Shlomo Chopp is in a constant struggle to locate commercial real estate that brings the proverbial biggest bang for the buck.

“We own a lot of properties and must satisfy the needs of my investors with good, quality investments,” he stated.

While Chopp was partial to retail properties, he acknowledged that current economic trends make it a “risky proposition to buy retail” — with the increased dominance of e-commerce chipping away dramatically at the traditional brick-and-mortar model. But people have not completely abandoned the in-store experience and more than a few digital-exclusive brands were eager to come off the internet and become part of the in-person shopping experience.

“We needed a new concept that changes

everything about retail,” theorized Chopp, who created the startup ShopFulfill with the goal of bringing digital natives into the brick-andmortar setting.

In the second quarter of 2020, Chopp will debut his new concept with the launch of Anchor Shops in Philadelphia’s downtown Fashion District. In its initial presentation, Anchor Shops will house more than 40 native digital retailers that will lease space at an average beginning at roughly $800 per month.

But unlike other retail complexes, Chopp’s ShopFulfill operation will enable these firsttime retailers to share staff, warehousing and transportation costs. ShopFulfill will also operate a fulfillment center at the Moorestown Mall in Moorestown, New Jersey, thus offering the retailer tenants inventory assistance with both their e-commerce orders and buy-online-pick-

up-in-store service options.

Chopp noted this would benefit digital natives trying to establish an offline presence by giving them the logistical support that longtime brick-and-mortar retailers enjoy.

“Our new tenants would otherwise not be positioned to be tenants,” he said. “We tell them, ‘Just produce your great products and we’ll help you increase sales.’ ” Both the Philadelphia retail complex and the New Jersey fulfillment center are owned

by Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT). Joseph F. Coradino, chairman and CEO of PREIT, issued a press release praising Chopp’s concept as the next evolutionary stage in the retail ecosystem.

“Shoppers who frequent our properties will be able to engage with new, exciting and emerging brands, making the merchandising mix at properties like Fashion District

Philadelphia even more compelling,” Coradino said. “Solving logistics and infrastructure challenges positions these brands for sustainable growth within our portfolio.”

Chopp envisions Anchor Shops as an alternative to the so-called “no-product stores” where consumers place their orders in a retail outlet and then go home to wait for the item to be shipped to them. Under his plan, ShopFulfill would manage the inventory needs of the Anchor Shops tenants, so they would never find themselves with too little or too much merchandise in their retail setting and in the New Jersey fulfillment center.

Chopp also believes Anchor Shops could be brought into the traditional mall setting to occupy large anchor store spaces, both as a means to fill a tenant void or as a strategy for allowing existing retail tenants to downsize into a more profitable and manageable space within the mall.

News of his venture spread quickly in the e-commerce world.

“We’ve heard from brands that we never knew existed,” he said. “They told us, ‘We want to participate.’ They don’t have the budget to spend $100,000 for opening costs on their own store.” Chopp’s goal for Anchor Shops is to establish a presence in 80 regions across the country. While there are no immediate plans to set up Anchor Shops outlets in Westchester or Fairfield counties, he offered an assurance that any local consumer visiting the Philadelphia flagship location will have an item at their home in 24 hours.

Larchmont condo proposal being downsized

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

G

ary Hirsch, chairman of Rye-based developer Elk Homes, has told the Larchmont Board of Trustees that the entity Elk Chatsworth LP is revising its plans for a mixed-use project in the village.

The original proposal was for a 5-story, 26-unit condo building to be known as Centro Larchmont. It was going to have 5,000 square feet of retail space. The plan called for it to be built on two parcels totaling about one-third of an acre. The parcels were at 108-114 Chatsworth Ave. and 65 Wendt Ave. “The project that we had been working hard with the village for nearly two years to bring to fruition is unfortunately not going to happen. We have lost the opportunity to acquire the Wendt Avenue property and so the project will be much smaller in scale than we had contemplated,” Hirsch told the Dec. 16 trustees’ meeting.

The project had drawn opposition from residents who said it was too large.

“We’ve come forward with a much simpler, smaller-scale project that we hope you will be able to move forward with expeditiously, recognizing that we have tried to be a good partner with the village,” Hirsch said.

He described the revised proposal as being confined to the Chatsworth Avenue property with about 2,500 feet of retail on the ground floor. The number of residential units would be cut back to 14, with one of them classified

as affordable. There would be three full floors of residential with additional residential on a smaller fourth floor. The fourth floor would be about half the area of the other floors. Hirsch described the fourth floor as being set back at least 35 feet from Chatsworth Avenue, “so it will be invisible to people walking along Chatsworth or in vehicles along Chatsworth, and it will be only 50 feet wide on the exposure facing Palmer Avenue as opposed to the 200foot length we had in the original building, so it will be 75% smaller in exposure than we had originally projected.”

Hirsch said the project would provide about 18 parking spaces. He said some of the spaces, perhaps 4 or 6, would incorporate automated car lifts.

“Think of them as tandem parking spaces,” he said, pointing to the success he had using car lifts at a building he constructed in Pelham.

Hirsch said there is a need to replace the existing building on the site.

“All the utilities of the building that we own on Chatsworth were removed over the

summer and the building, which was otherwise in terrible condition, will now only further deteriorate as we enter into the winter and become an even more derelict building,” he said. “We need a plan to take that building down and replace it.”

Hirsch said all of the issues that might come up regarding the new proposal were covered in reviewing the previous proposal.

“What I ask you to do is two things,” he said.

“First, consult among yourselves if need be, in whatever fashion you do that and give us guidance that this is a project that you can support subject to a review of whatever documents you need to see and we’ll go ahead and draft and prepare new elevations, new site plans … but I don’t want to invest any more money in a project unless I know overtly and clearly that we have your support, at least provisionally.”

His second request was that the board take whatever steps it can that are appropriate to expedite a review of a new zoning amendment “so we can move to site plan and hopefully construction.”

In CoURT | Bill Heltzel Judge won’t let Doral Arrowwood be ‘abandoned’ LABOR NOTICE STATES 275 WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS

“I will not allow this property to be abandoned,” Westchester Supreme Court Justice Gretchen Walsh told lawyers who gathered on Jan. 7 in the judge’s courtroom to discuss how to wind down the affairs of the Doral Arrowwood Conference Center and Hotel in Rye Brook.

There were two issues before the court: a motion by court-appointed receiver Kirby D. Payne’s attorney to relieve him of his duties, and a request by Anderson Hill Road Capital LLC to take U.S. Bank’s place as the mortgage holder and plaintiff in a foreclosure action.

As to discharging Payne, “not happening today,” Walsh said. She said she needs an accounting of the funds and a plan to pay creditors and secure the property.

Payne said Doral Arrowwood has about $1.5 million in cash, $1.4 million in projected collections and expenses of $6.6 million.

As to Anderson Hill Road Capital, Walsh told its attorney, Thomas Decea, that she needs more proof that the company actually owns the mortgage.

Decea said that his client should not be required to keep up the property. Actually, Walsh said, it does.

“Your client went into this with their eyes wide open,” she said. “If they didn’t want to take responsibility … they shouldn’t have purchased the note.”

Walsh adjourned the hearing for two days and urged all parties to work on a plan for the property.

The impending closing was disclosed last month in court documents.

“Due to the lack of funding,” Payne stated in a Dec. 24 affidavit, the property “is in dire financial condition. Jan. 12 is the date the last major profitable group checks out of the hotel before a period of slow business where additional losses and obligations are incurred.

“Based on the present financial condition … and in my professional judgment, the hotel operation must cease no later than Jan. 12.”

Benchmark Hospitality of Westchester, the Woodlands, Texas, company that manages the resort, filed a Department of Labor notice stating that 275 employees will lose their jobs.

U.S. Bank of Minneapolis filed the foreclosure in March, demanding $58.6 million.

The bank is the trustee for a loan held by Greenwich Capital Commercial Funding Corp.

Payne was appointed at an emergency hearing the following day and he immediately began fixing deferred maintenance problems to protect the value of the 114-acre, 393-room property. He told the Westchester County Business Journal that business would continue as normal and no one would notice any differences.

But Doral Arrowwood continued to run deficits, according to an affidavit by Payne’s attorney, James J. Veneruso.

Several times, Payne asked for, and received, more funds from the lender to keep the property operating.

By Dec. 11, Veneruso stated, Payne needed nearly $1 million to operate the resort and meet its expenses. Payne asked for more funds, but on Dec. 19, according to Payne’s affidavit, the lender advised him that, “effective immediately, it would not provide the requested funding.”

Payne had also forwarded his funding request to DCCA LLC, the family company that owns the resort, but he received no response.

“I cannot now properly, effectively and fully carry on my duties,” Payne stated, “and therefore it is imperative that I be immediately discharged as temporary receiver.”

When Doral Arrowwood opened in 1983, it was a conference center for Citibank. In 1986, the Kaskel, Blum and Schragis families bought the property, expanded the hotel and developed its reputation as a premier conference and recreation resort. » IN COURT

In Court—

The families managed Doral Arrowwood until 2015 when they hired Benchmark to run it. A year ago, DCCA sued Benchmark, claiming it had mismanaged the resort.

U.S. Bank was alerted to the lawsuit and filed the foreclosure action.

Payne has proposed a plan for an “orderly closing of business operations”

by Jan. 12. A skeleton staff would continue working for a month to notify groups, guests, vendors and to close the books.

“On the date of closing hotel operations,” he stated, “there will be sufficient funds to pay the hotel’s employees their current pay and some other obligations of the hotel. However, there will be insufficient funds to pay other obligations or to properly shut down systems and physically secure the mortgaged property.”

BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEE SAYS GORDOS NORTH IS NOT THE REAL GORDOS RESTAURANT

A U.S. trustee for the former Gordos restaurant in Hawthorne has sued the owners of a new restaurant for at least $500,000 for allegedly diverting assets.

Mark S. Tulis filed an adversary proceeding in federal bankruptcy court against Gordos North Restaurant Corp., the new entity, and Michael J. Schliman, Elizabeth (Lisa) Schliman and Joanne Piazza, accusing them of trademark infringement, corporate waste and other charges.

Gordos North misappropriated the “locally famous and iconic ‘Gordos’ trademark,” the complaint states, to cause former customers to believe that the new restaurant was Gordos’ successor.

Gordos in Hawthorne closed last February. Nine days later Gordos North was established about 1.3 miles away in Thornwood.

Michael Schliman was president and sole shareholder of the original

Gordos. His wife, Lisa, and Piazza are shareholders and officers of Gordos North.

But Tulis alleges that Michael Schliman dominated and controlled both restaurants and that he diverted assets from the original to defraud his former landlord and other creditors.

The restaurant’s provenance can be traced to the 1970s when Gordon Kreuger opened Gordo’s Colonial Tavern on Commerce Street in Hawthorne. Around 1980, he renamed it as Gordos.

Michael Schliman was employed as a bartender in 1998, according to the complaint, and he bought the business from Kreuger and Arthur D. Greason Jr. for $560,000 in 2006.

Kreuger and Greason still owned the property and leased the premises to Schliman.

Gordos defaulted on the rent and in 2018 Mount Pleasant Justice Court approved an eviction.

Gordos Restaurant Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy “on an emergency basis,” according to a court filing, “to avoid the imminent threat of eviction.”

Gordos declared assets of $32,500 and liabilities of $433,693. It claimed in a court filing that it had been trying to buy the property but was unable to perform its side of an agreement because Michael Schliman was hospitalized.

WCBJ

The bankruptcy court denied Gordos’ request to stop the eviction.

Last February Gordos asked the court to dismiss its bankruptcy case on the grounds that it had no assets for carrying out a reorganization plan.

Kreuger, the landlord, asked that the case be converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation so that a trustee could be appointed to investigate Gordos’ finances. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert D. Drain agreed.

Tulis argues in his complaint that the lack of assets resulted from diversion of the restaurant’s equipment, cash and goodwill. At least $48,000 had been withdrawn. Equipment, cutlery, china, glassware, blenders and seven large screen televisions were removed.

And no one had bought the Gordos trademark.

Tulis accuses Gordos North of several trademark violations, deceptive acts and practices, unfair competition, improper transfers of assets and unjust enrichment. He accuses Michael Schliman of breach of fiduciary duty and breach of duty to Gordos’ creditors, “by engaging in self-dealing and by utilizing his position … to obtain personal profit or advantage.”

The trustee is asking for an order restraining the defendants from using the Gordos trademark.

Tulis is represented by attorneys David A. Blansky and Salvatore LaMonica of Wantagh.

Gordos Restaurant Corp. is represented by Anne J. Penachio of Penachio Malara LLP of White Plains.

FELDMAN ESTATE SUES PSYCHOLOGIST TO ENFORCE RAPE VERDICT

A five-year legal battle over a rape lawsuit against William A. Knack seemed to be settled in April when a federal bankruptcy judge ruled for Noelle S. Feldman, who had sued to stop the Chappaqua psychologist from using bankruptcy court to avoid paying a $958,000 trial court judgment.

But Feldman did not live to see the victory. She died days before the ruling.

The attorneys who represented her filed a new proceeding Jan. 3 in bankruptcy court on behalf of her estate.

“William Knack inflicted willful and malicious injury on Ms. Feldman,” Justin M. Gardner and William P. Harrington state in their complaint, “which resulted in a judgment that is non-dischargeable.”

Feldman, who was a resident of Pound Ridge, had accused Knack of sexually assaulting her during a 2013 psychotherapy session at his home office.

She sued him in 2014.

After a 7-day trial in 2017, a Westchester Supreme Court jury found that Knack had committed first-degree rape and awarded Feldman a verdict of $950,000 plus interest.

Knack, who moved to Somers, has denied the allegations. He claimed Feldman had sexually assaulted him on a different occasion.

Judge Terry Jane Ruderman of Westchester Supreme Court rejected Knack’s request to overturn the verdict.

He appealed her decision and he petitioned the bankruptcy court for Chapter 11 reorganization, claiming $640,624 in assets and $1.7 million in liabilities.

Feldman filed an adversary proceeding in bankruptcy court to protect her verdict. Her complaint was put on hold during the appeal of the trial court decision.

“Dr. Knack has always disputed the allegations against him,” attorney Dawn Kirby stated in a February bankruptcy court filing.

She said an attorney for Feldman had sent a threatening letter to SUNY Old Westbury, where Knack was

employed as an associate professor of psychology, that cost him his job.

“Plaintiff and her counsel have gone above and beyond to retaliate against Dr. Knack,” she said.

“Plaintiff was looking for a sensational outcome, and she got one.”

Kirby asked the bankruptcy court to defer ruling on Feldman’s request for a summary judgment while the trial court appeal was pending.

Five weeks later, the appellate court upheld the trial court decision.

On April 19, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane granted Feldman summary judgment and declared that the $957,675 trial court judgment could not be discharged.

Feldman died on April 16 or April 18, according to court records. She was about 60 years old, Harrington said. The cause and circumstances are not disclosed in court records.

“It is utterly unclear why the plaintiff has filed a duplicate complaint asserting allegations and causes of action that have already been adjudicated,” Kirby said in an email.

Knack has asked the bankruptcy court to convert his Chapter 11 case to Chapter 7 liquidation.

Gardner said he had no objection to the conversion in an August letter to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert D. Drain. But justice, he said, “came too little, too late.”

He said Knack abused his position as a therapist to prey on Feldman and then tried to use her traumatic childhood and mental health treatment history to discredit her at trial.

Knack’s conduct “undoubtedly … contributed to the tragic circumstances that led to Noelle’s death,” Gardner claimed.

“While Dr. Knack may have successfully used this bankruptcy proceeding to delay justice during Noelle’s lifetime,” he stated, “those who knew and loved Noelle still pray that justice will ultimately prevail.”

NYMC helps businesses prepare for disasters

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

M

any businesses aren't properly prepared for dealing with a disaster, Dr. David S. Markenson, the director of the Center for Disaster Medicine (CDM) at New York Medical College (NYMC) in Valhalla, told the Business Journal.

“When a disaster occurs it puts at risk both businesses and their employees during the event. Those risks are to the employees, the leadership and the people they serve,” Markenson said, noting that the ability to maintain business operations can be an early casualty. “Without disaster preparedness you can't have continuity of operations.

You can have an event that really shuts them down for days, weeks, months. You can imagine the impact that will have on a business.”

While much of the training offered by the CDM is targeted at community leaders and hospital emergency managers, along with law enforcement, school administrators and personnel involved in EMS, public safety and public health, the private sector also is included in the target audience.

“New York Medical College has had for greater than 15 years a unique expertise in disaster and emergency planning,” Markenson said. “We have a cadre of people who do everything from the basic science research to education training and helping people plan. We have funding from New York state to help conduct this training.

We actually have simulated environments at our facilities, some of which you formerly could only find at military facilities.”

In mid-December, CDM offered a course on planning and responding to a

disaster incident involving children. Markenson pointed out that while many business leaders might at first dismiss the need for such preparedness because they don't have children working in their facilities, employees do have children.

“I tell every employer it is in their vast interest that every employee has a family disaster plan because that allows the employee to come to work, return to work, stay at work,” he said.

He said businesses need to examine their ability to provide space for children in the event of a weather disaster or other serious situation that closes schools and affects normal child care activities.

“Employees stay at home or, if there's a place in the building for children while the employees work, you actually maintain productivity of your business,” Markenson said.

He explained that some

Dr. David S. Markenson

of the training CDM provides deals with unique aspects of planning for children at a business or facility.

“The No. 1 thing is to just make the presumption that children will be in the plant,” he said. “You have to understand the proportion of children who are in your environment. Sometimes it may be one or two. But if you're a movie theater in the middle of the day or a day care center you could have a large

volume and so your firstaid and disaster supplies must have the numbers and equipment and sizes to take care of children. The staff at your facility that are trained to respond to an event can't have just adult first-aid training,” Markenson said.

Markenson co-founded CDM in 2005. In addition to his role there and as medical director and professor of public health at NYMC, he serves as chief medical

officer for training series and chair of the National Scientific Advisory Council for the American Red Cross.

“Fifty years ago people heard the word disaster and they thought something collapsed. Unfortunately, in recent times, people have added to that the effects of terrorism or mass casualty events and with things like pandemic flu people have added health emergencies,” Markenson said.

He said businesses need to assess what they have already done in the way of planning not just for disasters but for lesser incidents such as people slipping and falling or individual medical emergencies. He urged businesses to take advantage of preparedness resources that include NYMC's CDM, government emergency management offices and American Red Cross programs to help businesses plan and assess their readiness.

Tips to achieve a healthier you in 2020

N

ow is the time of year when we typically take inventory of our lives and set new goals. Relationships, finances, careers and health are all important aspects that impact our overall well-being. For 2020 consider making your health a top priority.

According to the recent America’s Health Rankings Annual Report, the nation’s obesity rate continues to rise with one in three adults now experiencing obesity.

In New York, more than 27% of adults have obesity.

This alarming statistic may have serious health consequences such as diabetes that impacts approximately 30 million adults and is the

No. 1 cause of kidney failure, lower-limb amputations and adult blindness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There are many factors that play a role in your health, but one that you can control is making a commitment to start living a healthier lifestyle. Sure, there will be some bumps during your journey, but your goal can be reached and you deserve to reap the benefits.

Consider the following tips.

STAY ACTIVE

Regular exercise may help you live longer and may reduce your risks for a host of diseases. Try to

aim for at least 2.5 hours of moderate aerobic activity a week, but if that’s too challenging then start off with 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there. Every little bit counts. To be successful, your fitness program should become a part of your daily life.

Also, check with your health plan and employer to see if they offer wellness incentives. For example, UnitedHealthcare’s Gym Check-In program enables participating employers to provide employees and their spouses the opportunity to each earn hundreds of dollars a year for visiting a fitness facility 12 days or more per month.

EAT HEALTHIER

It’s easier said than done, but good nutrition is a vital part of a healthier lifestyle. Experts say the healthiest diets are rich in fruits and vegetables because these foods are full of healthful nutrients and fiber. Here are three simple tips to eating healthier: Go for more fruits and veggies; choose less meat and fat; and keep an eye on the size of your food portions. Just saying “no” to the buffet can do wonders.

REDUCE YOUR STRESS

If you’re feeling stressed, it’s important to unwind and relax by doing something you enjoy. Maybe it’s

watching a movie, reading a book or volunteering to give you time to recharge.

Also, make time to connect with others. Maybe that’s friends, family, a faith group or a hobby club. It’s important that you don’t isolate yourself after a stressful event. Remember, if you cannot get a handle on your stress, talk to your doctor. She or he may recommend a counselor who could help you find other ways to help reduce or manage the unhealthy stress in your life.

TEAM UP WITH YOUR DOCTOR

Take time to make an appointment with your

WCBJ

doctor for your annual wellness visit and be sure to ask about preventive services such as health screenings and vaccines.

Check with your health plan, as many preventive services have no additional cost as long as they are delivered by care providers in your plan’s network.

Your doctor will help you create a treatment plan to help manage any chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Plot A Course For Your Children’s Success

cial matters. For example, most clients should consider maxing out their 401(k) contributions before putting money into a college savings account. It is a lot easier to get a loan from the government or from a private bank when you are working to help fund your child’s college education than to help fund your retirement.

admission, parents should incorporate this thinking regarding school tuition costs. Parents should have their child apply to at least one school they know they can afford, as well as a couple that will be a little harder to afford but possible. It is counterproductive to have your child apply to a lot of schools you simply can’t afford to send them to. You would not pre-order a Rolls Royce when you can only afford a Volvo. Parents should work with a financial adviser/ college planner to come up with a “safe number” which takes into consideration how much they can spend and how much debt is safe to incur.

COMMIT TO SAVINGS Start saving early and often. This will allow you to compound interest and you will start to see your assets grow over time. Once you have your savings plan set up, it is important to stick with it throughout the years — automatic contributions are a great way to ensure you stick to your plan. As your financial picture improves revisit your savings plan and earmark more for college. Make sure to keep in mind that financial aid offices will look at how much money you made in the years leading up to your child’s freshman year.

Consider using tax-friendly accounts like a 529 College Savings Account, which is a plan operated by a state or an educational institution that offers tax advantages and potentially other incentives to make it easier to save for college and other post-secondary training for a designated beneficiary, such as

NEVER SETTLE ON THE FIRST OFFER When schools begin sending offer letters, don’t settle. Be thoughtful around how you communicate to schools — sometimes something as easy as a call to the financial aid office to explain your financial situation can help get you more aid. Create a selection criteria for your evaluation process, and make sure that your financial plan is included.

Paying for college is going to be one of the biggest expenses a family will face and it is crucial that families start saving and planning early. With college often being the second largest investment, after buying a home, it’s critical to be thoughtful and understand that your plan will change over time. Having the strong foundation of a plan will ensure that you are able to fulfill your dreams, not just that of your child.

BY SEAN FLYNN, ESSEX FINANCIAL, THE SOUTHPORT GROUP Parenthood doesn’t come with a manual.

The journey itself has many twists and turns, yet how you choose to navigate the course will determine your success.

As a financial planner for almost 15 years, and a parent of two toddlers, I have seen and experienced the ups and downs of parenthood. Kids can suck the wind out of our financial sails, but it’s worth it!.

That’s why it’s imperative for parents to plot a journey to long-term financial success and start college funding as soon as possible to plan for their child’s success.

Every family is different and planning for the financial implications of sending your children to school is never a onesize-fits-all approach. A process-driven college plan that adheres to tailored guidelines will prevent you from making decisions that will ultimately hurt your chances of receiving financial aid and negatively impacting your longer-term financial goals.

START PLANNING NOW It’s never too soon, ideally when you’re expecting, to develop a college plan. Parents should be honest with themselves and evaluate their financial capabilities to create a realistic family budget.

A critical element in planning for college savings is to not forget about other finan-

a child or grandchild. The contributions to 529 accounts grow tax free and can be taken out tax free to pay for qualified educational expenses. Qualified expenses include tuition, fees, books and equipment for higher education.

Up to $10,000 can also be withdrawn tax free for K-12 tuition. In 2020, it gets even better. The new SECURE Act that was passed in December 2019 expands on the definition of qualified expenses to included student loan repayments for qualified student loans up to $10,000.

Certain expenses for apprenticeship programs also now are considered qualified expenses.
