READY FOR A FIGHT Development controversy in Scarsdale

NEW YORK STATE SEN. HARCKHAM PROPOSES TOLLS TARGETING CONNECTICUT DRIVERS

AVALONBAY, LCOR PICKED AS FINALISTS FOR FREIGHTWAY PROJECT

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

valonBay Communities and a combined venture of LCOR, East End Capital and 3D Properties LLC have been selected by the village of Scarsdale as the two finalists in the effort to pick a developer for the downtown Freightway area near the Metro-North train station.

Freightway is a site of

about 2.43 acres principally occupied by a five-story parking garage and at-grade parking, an additional onetenth acre in the town of Eastchester, a 0.51-acre parcel along Scarsdale Avenue and 0.84 acres of air rights over the Metro-North tracks.

The finalists were selected from the six developers that responded to the village’s request for proposals (RFP) covering “a redevelopment project that creates a mixed-use Transit-Oriented

Development (TOD), including at a minimum: residential uses, commercial uses, commuter parking, community uses/open space and connectivity to Scarsdale Avenue and the Village Center.” A motivating factor for the village in exploring development possibilities has been the need for the Freightway parking structure to be repaired or replaced.

AvalonBay and LCOR were invited to each give a 40-minute presentation of their ideas at a public work session of the Scarsdale Board of Trustees on Dec. 11. A timeline calls for selection of a developer in the next few months, to be followed by a period of fine tuning development details. The timeline also » SCARSDALE

“NOBODY WANTS A TOLL WAR,” NEW YORK STATE SEN. PETER HARCKHAM SAID at a press conference

announcing a plan to install tolls targeted at Connecticut drivers.

Harckham, whose 40th District includes northern Westchester County as well as parts of Putnam and Dutchess counties, used the Dec. 16 event to lay out a plan that would impose tolls along the New York/ Connecticut border with the revenue going toward infrastructure repairs.

Harckham’s plan would install gantries on six state and county roads that cross the state line in the towns of Pound Ridge, Lewisboro and North Salem. He said he would also support placing a toll on the Hutchinson

River Parkway just before it becomes the Merritt Parkway upon entering Connecticut.

License plate readers would charge only out-ofstate drivers, allowing New York residents to continue driving on those roads free of charge.

“We don’t want it to come to this, but if so, I am willing to and prepared to submit legislation that would put tolls all along the Connecticut border so that we can pay for infrastructure repairs,” he said. “The revenue would be shared, after debt service, with these local municipalities.”

The senator’s move is in response to Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont’s controversial proposal to add 12 trucks-only toll gantries. A gantry would be placed on a 1.4-mile stretch of I-684 » TOLLS

LETTER To ThE EdiToR Riverkeeper opposes using Holtec to decommission Indian Point

BY VICTORIA LEUNG

E

ntering 2020, Riverkeeper remains dedicated to protecting the Hudson River and the health and safety of the surrounding communities. We are building on our decades of advocacy around Indian Point to ensure that the decommissioning of this dangerous and antiquated facility is completed with the best interests of the local communities and environment in mind. Riverkeeper supports the prompt completion of the decommissioning of Indian Point. However, not at the expense of our safety.

Now that advances in technology provide for safer, cheaper and cleaner energy alternatives, nuclear power is no longer needed and communities should no longer have to bear the risk of living near these volatile and dangerous sites.

While Indian Point made economic contributions to the Hudson Valley and New York, it is time to embrace the new opportunities at the site.

This is why we’ve been fighting to stop Entergy from transferring Indian Point’s ownership — and the $2 billion decommissioning trust fund — to Holtec, a company with a scandalous corporate past, little experience in decommissioning nuclear power plants and dubious experience in their core business, spent fuel management. Holtec’s culture of prioritizing its own profits over the law throws into doubt its willingness to decommission the site properly and prudently manage $2 billion of the public’s funds.

Holtec was caught bribing workers at the Tennessee Valley Authority, suspended from contracting with the TVA and then lied about its corrupt past to get tax breaks from New Jersey. In addition, Holtec partnered with SNCLavalin, a company embroiled in a bribery scandal in Canada. Holtec has also repeatedly failed to fulfill its promises of job creation, and already faces criticism from unions at Oyster Creek (a plant acquired only six months ago) for using nonunion labor.

Holtec has never decommissioned a nuclear facility before and its entire nuclear “fleet” was acquired less than a year ago.

Decommissioning is far more com-

Holtec’s illegal and unethical business practices in combination with its lack of experience in nuclear plant decommissioning places an unacceptable risk on the nearby communities that will reside next to this dangerous and volatile site for generations.

— Victoria Leung, Riverkeeper

in California is proven to have serious design flaws, and Holtec has a history of risk-taking with spent nuclear fuel canisters, brought to light by whistleblower actions.

Holtec’s illegal and unethical business practices in combination with its lack of experience in nuclear plant decommissioning places an unacceptable risk on the nearby communities that will reside next to this dangerous and volatile site for generations.

Riverkeeper is not alone in our skepticism of Holtec. More than 1,300 individuals have signed on to our demand that Gov. Cuomo stop Holtec from taking over and that Entergy select a qualified company to take on the arduous tasks of decommissioning, site cleanup and management of spent radioactive fuel while keeping 20 million New Yorkers safe. To support the concerns of our members and the community, we are preparing to challenge the license transfer to Holtec in both state and federal proceedings.

Meanwhile, those most impacted by the activities at Indian Point must have the ability to be fully informed and provide input on the process. We’re pushing for the establishment of community advisory boards on both the state and federal level to give community members

a real voice regarding site cleanup, use of the decommissioning fund and the eventual site reuse. We urge state and federal regulators that any such board must be independent from industry and have real power and access to experts to ensure that the license holder is completing the process correctly.

Riverkeeper is fully vested in a quick and safe decommissioning of Indian Point once it closes. We’re demanding that Entergy select a qualified and reputable company — with a long track record of experience — for this critical undertaking. We are also counting on Gov. Cuomo to assert the state’s jurisdiction to supervise the license transfer, reject Holtec and ensure that there is robust and transparent oversight of the decommissioning process. New York must do everything in its power to ensure that the reactor site is decommissioned in a safe, effective and prompt manner.

Victoria Leung is the associate staff attorney at Riverkeeper, a 53-year-old nonprofit with a mission to protect the environmental, recreational and commercial integrity of the Hudson River and its tributaries, and to safeguard the drinking water of more than 9 million New Yorkers.

Lionsgate Movie Studio plan gets its close-up approved. “What would be put onto the roof of Kawasaki is more spaces than what is being removed for the construction.”

Meyer said there would be no public parking permitted on the rooftop deck.

“It will be signed that way and the plan that we submitted showed no trucks,” he said. “There will be a height-limiter bar on it, well in compliance with the building code of New York state so that it’s, as the code calls it, pleasure vehicles only.”

When asked for a likely timetable for construction, Meyer said the parking deck would take six to nine months and the movie studio 12 to 18 months.

Lee Ellman, director of the city’s Planning Bureau, said he hoped to have the environmental quality review requirements completed by the end of December.

Kozicky said he talked to some of the neighbors and they were anxious for the project to proceed.

ollywood lights and cameras might have been missing, but there was action on Dec. 11 when the developer of the proposed Lionsgate Movie Studio on Wells Avenue near the Metro-North train station in downtown Yonkers appeared before the city’s Planning Board to set the scene for moving the project closer to approval.

Lynne M. Ward, executive vice president of Greenwich-based National Resources, spoke on behalf of the applicant, Hudson View Associates LLC and iPark.

“Our application is in, our plans are in, we’ve made amendments to our plans, we’ve made responses to the comments that we’ve had from the city and we have a number of meetings set up,” she said.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Our application is in, our plans are in, we’ve made amendments to our plans, we’ve made responses to the comments that we’ve had from the city and we have a number of meetings set up.

Best Holiday Wishes & Happy 2020!

— Lynne M. Ward

Planning Board Chairman Roman Kozicky said his understanding was that the applicant was continuing to work with city staff on some traffic and fire department issues. Ward responded that he was correct.

Along with a site plan application for the movie studio there is a separate application to build a 363-car parking deck on top of the nearby Kawasaki Rail Car plant.

Construction of the movie studio building would wipe out current grade-level parking and the intent is to build the new parking structure first.

John Meyer, director of development for National Resources, said the parking deck “was something we hoped could have been moved along rather than waiting to go with the movie studio. The parking area on the roof of Kawasaki was approved by this board back in 2011, Feb. 9 of 2011, and was extended for a two-year term,” he said, adding that the current parking deck proposal is the exact same setup as had been previously

Westhab developing 63 units of affordable housing in Yonkers

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

W

esthab, the Yonkers-based nonprofit founded in 1981 to help deal with the lack of affordable housing in Westchester, held a groundbreaking ceremony Dec. 11 for Dayspring Commons, a 63-unit apartment building, part of its Dayspring Campus project. The building's site is at 227 Elm St. in Yonkers.

Westhab reports that it has developed more than 900 units of housing in Westchester and New York City, representing investments totaling more than $134 million. It is involved in all aspects of its projects, from site selection, financing, construction supervision and property management to providing needed social services for its low-income, moderate-income and special-needs tenants.

Dayspring Campus is estimated by Westhab to be a $45 million project. The building will have 63 affordable apartments, 37 of which are to be reserved for formerly homeless people who will receive on-site support services. As part of the Dayspring Campus, the former Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church is being transformed into a state-of-the-art, 27,400-square-foot community center. The former church building is located at 320 Walnut St. Westhab has been providing services in the Nodine Hill section of Yonkers since the mid-1990s when it purchased five buildings on Elm Street that were in need of repair and better management.

It began an initiative to help small business owners in the neighborhood and in 2006 opened the Elm Street Youth Center in part of the church. In 2008, it developed the Elm Street Community Resource Center. In 2015, when the church was being forced to shutter the building due to a financial crisis, it offered to sell the building to Westhab for a nominal fee and support an effort to turn it into a full-ser-

vice community center.

Fundraising efforts by Westhab along with government funding have combined to bring about the financing needed for the project. State financing includes $7.1 million in permanent tax-exempt bonds in addition to federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits that will generate $15.2 million

in equity and a $13.5 million subsidy from New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR).

The city of Yonkers has provided $1 million for the project. It’s expected there will be ongoing subsidies and other funding from the state to help support services for residents.

The six-story Dayspring Commons building will include a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. Amenities will include a community room, exercise room, laundry room, outdoor landscaped seating area, covered garage and security office.

Fifteen of the apartments will be reserved for households earning at or below 30% of the area median income (AMI). Most of the others will be available to those at or below 50% of the AMI. Young parents with children who have special needs will be among those accepted for the 37 apartments reserved for homeless families. They will receive supportive services funded by the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance through the Governor’s Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative. Westhab will provide case management along with mental health services and employment services.

rights to Kevzara and sole ex-U.S. rights to Praluent, while Tarrytown’s Regeneron would gain sole U.S. rights to Praluent.

Each party will be solely responsible for funding development and commercialization expenses in their respective territories.

The existing collaboration relating to Dupixent (dupilumab) will remain unchanged following the restructuring.

Completion of the proposed arrangement is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2020.

Westchester IDA supports BioMed Realty’s Ardsley Park project

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he Westchester County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has voted final approval of a $905,373 sales tax exemption for BioMed Realty, an operator of real estate in the U.S. and U.K. that is largely targeted at life sciences companies.

BioMed Realty is a Blackstone portfolio company. It counts approximately 11 million square feet of space in its inventory. The Business Journal reported in August that Blackstone valued its assets at approximately $545 billion, including the 43-acre Ardsley Park life sciences campus in the Town of Greenburgh. Ardsley Park features 258,754 square feet of office and lab space in four buildings. Acorda Therapeutics occupies 165,000 square feet of space on the campus.

The other cities where BioMed Realty has properties in the U.S. are: Boston, Cambridge and Watertown in Massachusetts; Princeton, New Jersey; San Diego; the San Francisco Bay Area; and Seattle.

The IDA’s board voted at its Dec. 12 meeting to support a renovation project for 97,000 square feet of vacant space at Ardsley Park. BioMed Realty conducted market research which revealed that smaller and startup biotech companies cannot afford the expense of outfitting their own lab space, so it created a plan to provide ready-to-occupy lab and office spaces.

BioMed estimates that the renovation project will cost $38 million. It plans to begin renovations in the first quarter of 2020 on Building 440 at Ardsley Park, which has 22,000 square feet that BioMed said could be ready to accommodate up to four life sciences companies by the third quarter of the year.

The plan calls for Building 430, which has 75,000 square feet of space, to be renovated to house up to six life sciences companies.

The work on Building 430 would be completed in the second quarter of 2021.

BioMed told the IDA that the rents for the renovated spaces would be from one-half to two-thirds of rents for comparable space in New York City, but did not provide figures.

BioMed told the IDA that the project could create 354 jobs in the county with an annual payroll of approximately $35 million.

It also said that 20% of the biotech employees in New York state live in Westchester County.

Other statistics cited by BioMed showed that from 2011 to 2017, employment in the biotech industry dropped by 14.3% because of a lack of proper space. Some of the new jobs would be related to construction, janitorial and building services.

Colleen O’Connor, BioMed Realty’s senior director for East Coast and U.K. markets, said the company will be delivering modern turnkey flexible lab and office suites.

“These companies need move-in ready lab space quickly with flexible term lengths,” O’Connor said.

Scarsdale—

mentions a possibility that the village will decide not to proceed with redevelopment.

John Vogel, senior vice president of development for AvalonBay Communities, commented on the fact that the meeting room was full.

“I have been in a lot of crowded rooms but this is one of the most well-attended events,” Vogel said. “I recognize this is a very important project for your town. It’s also very important to my mom because she lives with my father 1/2-mile from the site.”

Stuart Lachs, principal and board director of AvalonBay’s architect Perkins Eastman, reviewed the proposal submitted in response to the RFP, which outlined a project with 220 dwelling units in six buildings. There would be 27 studios, 89 one-bedroom units, 75 two-bedroom units, 19 three-bedroom units and 10 three-bedroom condominiums. There would be 720 public parking spaces, 2,300 square feet of retail space, 68,500 square feet of public open space and 16,000 square feet of private open space. Townhouses would be in two structures on the southwest section of the site, the condominiums would be in two buildings across the Metro-North tracks on the east side along Scarsdale Avenue and the rest of the dwelling units would be in two buildings on the west side of the train tracks.

After meetings with village officials, AvalonBay prepared two other layouts.

Option A cut back the number of dwelling units to 197 with 24 studios, 79 one-bedrooms, 67 two-bedrooms, 17 three-bedrooms and 10 three-bedroom condos, 520 public parking spaces, 200 public valet spaces, 7,247 square feet of retail, a 7,454-square-foot community theater space and no change in the amount of open space.

Option B offered 4,050 square feet of retail and eliminated the theater while still offering 7,500 square feet of public amenity space in the project.

Christoper Reynolds, director of development for AvalonBay Communities, said, “We came up with a couple of options based

on the sort of minimal initial feedback that we got but every bit of feedback that the chosen developer gets in this process will allow for more options, more scenarios to be discovered and analyzed from both an economic standpoint and the standpoint of the preferences.”

David Peretz, founder and managing principal of East End Capital, was a speaker on behalf of the East End, 3D Properties and LCOR team. Their project has been dubbed VillageMews. Peretz told the meeting that he’s also a Scarsdale resident.

“I’m also speaking in front of you as a neighbor,” he said. “I also live here in Scarsdale so I’d like everyone to know that while there have been a bunch of concerns and things you guys are concerned about, I also am concerned about the same things and your interests are similar to my interests

that passes through Greenwich. Calling that part of Lamont’s tolls package “particularly galling,” Harckham said the Empire State has been responsible for maintaining that portion of I-684 since Gov. Nelson Rockefeller was in office some 50 years ago.

“It strikes me and many others as particularly galling that Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and other Connecticut officials are going ahead with putting a toll in place on the small 1.4-mile stretch of I-684 that crosses into Connecticut to pay for roadway infrastructure repairs in Connecticut,” Harckham stated.

Even with Lamont’s trucks-only proposal, instead of his original plan to toll all vehicles, the cost to New York would be some $6

in that I want to see an amazing project for our community.”

He served on the village’s downtown revitalization committee.

Peretz said his company, along with its partners, bought two properties that they could incorporate into the project, 2-20 Garth Road and 54-56 Garth Road, to significantly improve ingress and egress options in a site plan.

Their project includes three buildings.

Building A would have 68 residential units in 144,000 square feet, 3,500 square feet of retail space and 25,0000 square feet of community-use space.

Building B would have 217 residential units in 231,000 square feet.

Building C would have 2,500 square feet of retail space with five parking spaces.

The below-grade parking podium would have 900 spaces, 720 of them public. The residential units would be a mix of studios,

one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three or more bedrooms. Less than 10% would be three bedrooms or larger.

The developer would like to see the 25,000 square feet of community-use space anchored by the Hoff Barthelson Music School. It would include a black box theater.

“In our early discussions with Hoff, we believe that most weekend nights it (the theater) would be available for the public so this would be a great amenity for … Scarsdale,” Peretz said. Perkins Eastman also is the architect for VillageMews.

The meeting lasted three hours and 46 minutes and included comments from the public. Some residents expressed concern that the proposals would attract families with children who would overburden the local school system and village services.

Robert Berg, an 18-year resident who sits on the Scarsdale Board of Assessment Review, said, “Freightway is an undeniable eyesore, but the two proposals we’ve seen for the first time tonight are nonstarters for existing Scarsdale residents. We are a fully builtout community. We’re not in the hinterlands of Montana looking for another 500-plus new residents to move into non-age-restricted apartments. The only reason to go forward with this project is to lower our crazy property tax burden. If you can’t guarantee that the project will substantially lower our existing residents’ property tax burden, stop now and let’s figure out another plan.”

Resident Deborah McCarthy said, “I have a great number of concerns about what’s being proposed and how it may even detract rather than enhance the village center. Both these proposals failed to show ability to access the site and to depart the site in ways that would enhance the traffic flow.”

Resident Kenneth Clay said, “It feels like a remedy for an illness I’m not sure we have.

We have a parking lot that’s in decay. It can be repaired.”

Scarsdale Mayor Mark Samwick, who presided at the session, said, “We’ve already approached both of the finalist groups to figure out how we can potentially bring size and scale back and we’re going to continue to do that.”

million, the senator said.

Harckham expressed hope that his gambit would encourage Lamont and other Connecticut officials to meet with their New York counterparts to discuss a mutually acceptable solution to regional transportation issues.

There was no immediate response from Lamont or fellow Connecticut Democrats.

Connecticut Republicans have consistently rejected tolling of any kind.

Lewisboro Supervisor Peter Parsons and Pound Ridge Supervisor Kevin Hansan showed their support for Harckham at the press conference, while U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, a Harrison Democrat, has previously asked Connecticut to drop the I-684 toll plan.

Connecticut legislators are discussing holding a special legislative session next month to take up the tolls issue.

In CoURT | Bill Heltzel Hudson Valley men arrested in money laundering scheme

Two Hudson Valley men who were arrested believed they had been handling money from a health insurance fraud, according to a grand jury indictment.

Arnold Klein and Leon Klein, both of Monroe, were charged in White Plains federal court with money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

“The party from whom they agreed to launder these funds was a confidential source, who approached Arnold Klein and Leon Klein at the direction of law enforcement, seeking their assistance in laundering the proceeds of

a purported health care fraud scheme,” the indictment states.

Both men pleaded not guilty in their initial appearances Dec. 11 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison. They were released from custody on $250,000 personal recognizance bonds.

Their attorneys, Susan Rose Necheles and Steven Y. Yurowitz, did not respond to an email message asking for their clients’ side of the story.

From July 2016 to August 2017, according to the indictment, the confidential source gave four checks to Arnold Klein, ranging from $50,000 to $130,000, and described them as proceeds of a health care fraud.

Arnold Klein had allegedly directed the source to write the checks on the source’s business account and make them payable to a nonprofit organization whose bank account Klein controlled. The nonprofit organization is not identified.

Arnold and Leon Klein allegedly agreed to launder $255,000 and then deposited the checks in the nonprofit’s account.

The Hudson Valley residents returned the

money in a series of installment payments, in cash or checks from the nonprofit’s account, the indictment states, minus a commission fee. In some instances, Arnold Klein gave the source charitable donation receipts on behalf of the nonprofit organization.

The government contends that the Kleins acted “with the intent to conceal and disguise the nature, the location, the source, the ownership and the control of property believed to be the proceeds of … unlawful activity.”

The indictment includes a forfeiture clause, seeking the return of $255,000 or any property traceable to the money.

Assistant prosecutor Shiva H. Logarajah is handling the case.

HUDSON VALLEY INVESTMENT MANAGER GETS 22 MONTHS IN PRISON FOR SECURITIES FRAUD

The founder and general manager of Savant Capital Management LLC in Middletown has been sentenced to 22 months in prison for securities fraud.

U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel on Nov. 27 also ordered Brian Roberson, 43, to pay back $205,000 to his victim and submit to supervision for five years after his release.

Roberson’s attorneys had recommended 10 months in prison.

“Unfortunately, his desire to provide

for his family, coupled with his unique background and characteristics, led Mr. Roberson to engage in fraudulent behavior,” Manhattan attorneys Michael D. Bradley and Margaret M. Shalley said in a sentencing memorandum. “While his background in no way excuses his involvement, nor in any way diminishes its seriousness, it does render his actions all the more understandable and provides substantial mitigation in determining an appropriate sentence.”

The circumstances include growing up in a Bronx neighborhood riddled with crime and poverty; living with an alcoholic mother who beat him with a wire hanger and whose affair with another man devastated his father; a brother who sold drugs and skipped town to avoid a murder charge; sexual molestation by a family friend; and being sent to Ohio to live with an aunt and five cousins in a cramped apartment with no working bathroom where a stranger stabbed him twice and threw him out a window.

When he returned to New York, his family relocated to Middletown. But when he was 15, his mother moved out to live with the man with whom she had an affair.

“Brian once again felt abandoned, unloved and rejected by his own mother,” the sentencing memo states. » IN COURT

In Court—

Fifteen years later, he was running Savant, and in 2010, according to the indictment, his scheme began.

Roberson persuaded Kevin Wedwaldt to invest $255,000, and later another $15,000, to put into a clearinghouse account while they developed a high-frequency trading algorithm.

But Roberson, according to the indictment, took $48,000 for himself and put $233,000 in the clearinghouse account.

By early 2011, work on the algorithm halted, according to the indictment, because Roberson had stopped making payments to the vendor writing the program.

Wedwaldt demanded the return of his investment but got back only $50,000.

Roberson had used the rest of the money to cover trading losses and to put into family bank accounts.

“Roberson ultimately used the investor’s funds for his and his family members’ personal benefit,” the indictment states, “including the purchase of expensive jewelry.”

While Roberson is apologetic and regrets the pain he caused Wedwaldt, his lawyers state in the memo, his “mistakes and poor decisions” have also caused him and his family financial difficulties and cost him his marriage.

Roberson had a strong relationship with his father, who died in 2016, according to his lawyers. He has “always been a loving and attentive father” and he wants to have the same type of relationship with his children as he had with his father.

He hopes to develop a relationship with his first daughter who he gave up to adoption. He is trying to support his second daughter who struggles with drug addiction. His third wife has filed for divorce and sole custody of their two girls and a boy, all under age 10.

Assistant federal prosecutors Jeffrey C.

Coffman and James F. McMahon recommended a tougher sentence: 27 to 33 months in prison, restitution and a fine of up to $100,000.

“The defendant’s fraud … resulted in real harm to a real person,” they state in their sentencing memorandum.

Wedwaldt had invested half of his retirement savings. Now 66, he has moved to another state where the cost of living is lower, and taken a job as an airplane mechanic.

The prosecutors noted that Roberson had failed to file a financial affidavit with the probation office, and after his arrest in 2018 he cashed four checks totaling $68,356.

“His conduct suggests that he is attempting to conceal assets,” according to the prosecutors, “perhaps in an effort to avoid being made to pay restitution to his victim who has suffered substantial financial harm.

“This conduct also reflects on the defendant’s potential for rehabilitation and foretells how he will not adjust well to supervision.”

NEW YORK GRANITE FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY ON HEELS OF FOUNDER’S LIQUIDATION

New York Granite Corp. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on the heels of a personal bankruptcy case that exposed the owner’s highly leveraged finances.

The New Windsor stone countertop fabrication and installation business was founded in 2009 by Wieslaw Piasecki of Campbell Hall in Orange County.

New York Granite estimated assets of up to $50,000 and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million in a petition filed Dec. 5 in federal bankruptcy court in Poughkeepsie.

The petition listed nearly $1.8 million owed to the top 20 unsecured creditors, including $765,887 to New York Business Development Corp. and $497,399 to Empire State Certified Development Corp. New York Granite also owes $523,414 to TD Bank for two 2015 loans secured by all assets.

Piasecki filed a Chapter 7 liquidation petition in March.

Besides New York Granite, he listed his businesses as Piasecki Realty LLC, owner of New York Granite’s property at 857 Union Ave., and FAMP, a Polish company that distributed Bebe women’s clothing.

He declared assets of $441,000 and liabilities of more than $4.7 million.

His house, valued at $430,000, was used to secure loans totaling $970,000 from New York Business Development Corp. and the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union.

He had personally guaranteed 26 business loans totaling $2.8 million and had loaned $661,738 to New York Granite.

His income from New York Granite, including his wife’s salary as a bookkeeper, was about $182,000 a year.

New York Granite had to sell future assets to fund working capital. In February the company received $24,000 from Mantis Funding in exchange for $35,520 in future receipts, personally guaranteed by Piasecki. The company defaulted on payments in March and Mantis won a court judgment for $41,000.

The Bebe women’s clothing business was the deal that crushed Piasecki’s personal finances.

He established FAMP in 2016 and made a five-year deal the following summer to pay $2.43 million in royalties to Bebe parent BB Brand Holding Inc. In October 2018 FAMP failed to make an $81,000 payment.

BB Brand sued for breach of contract and demanded all of the remaining payments.

On March 12, a week before Piasecki filed for Chapter 7 liquidation, a judge awarded BB Brand nearly $2.3 million.

A bankruptcy trustee found that Piasecki had no property available for distribution to creditors and bankruptcy Judge Cecelia Morris discharged Piasecki from his debts.

Some creditors could get another chance to recover some of their claims in the New York Granite reorganization.

Piasecki was represented by Michelle L. Trier of Genova & Malin of Wappingers Falls, who also represents New York Granite.

In CoURT | Bill Heltzel PELHAM MANOR COUPLE SUES OVER SUPERSTORM SANDY DEBT

A Pelham Manor couple is trying to stop a Thornwood contractor from avoiding a $343,215 Superstorm Sandy debt.

Gregory J. Blasi and Anne Kossowan Blasi sued Roy A. Howard in federal bankruptcy court Dec. 9 to stop the court from discharging a 2013 judgment over work by his RH Contracting Enterprises Inc. The debt may not be dismissed, the Blasis argue, because it was “obtained by false pretenses, a false representation or actual fraud.”

Howard did not respond to an email asking for his side of the story.

He filed for Chapter 13 protection in September, declaring $972,106 in assets, consisting mostly of his house in Thornwood, and $1,569,396 in liabilities.

He listed an 83% interest in RH Contracting Enterprises of Hawthorne, but shows the company as ceasing to operate in 2017. He owns all of RH Property Management & Consulting Inc., still active and operating at the same Hawthorne address.

Debts include $315,841 to the Blasis, $586,036 to a mortgage company, $217,419 to the IRS that he disputes and $132,947 to TD Bank, about half of which he disputes.

Chapter 13 allows debtors to eliminate some debts while making monthly payments through a trustee to approved creditors.

Howard has proposed paying $2,500 a month for five years, totaling $150,000, as well as making monthly payments to the mortgage company and TD Bank for unspecified periods. The Blasis’ debt is not scheduled for payments.

The couple objected to the plan last month and filed an adversary proceeding.

They had hired RH Contracting in 2013 to repair their property on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, that was damaged by Superstorm Sandy.

RH Contracting sued the couple for breach of contract in New Jersey Superior Court, Ocean County, for allegedly not paying $23,481 for $88,481 in repairs.

The Blasis filed a counterclaim alleging consumer fraud, negligence and breach of contract and demanded $750,000. They alleged that Howard was not licensed or registered in New Jersey and that the work was poorly done.

The couple won a default judgment for $315,126 plus interest in 2015, against RH Contracting and Howard individually.

The judgment was filed in Westchester Supreme Court. Howard tried to stop the award, according to the Blasis, but judges in both states ruled that it could be enforced.

The Blasis argue the debt may not be discharged in bankruptcy court because it was allegedly obtained by fraud or embezzlement or larceny, willful and malicious injury and false pretenses or false representation.

Gregory Blasi, a lawyer, is representing the couple. Howard’s bankruptcy attorney is Dana P. Brescia of Alter & Brescia LLP of Harrison.

Former HR worker at FujiFilm pleads guilty to $400K larceny

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A FORMER HUMAN RESOURCES WORKER AT FUJIFILM who is a resident of

Greenwich, Connecticut, has pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the second degree for stealing more than $400,000 from the company. The plea was announced by Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. Maria Mecca entered the guilty plea

in Westchester County Court. The judge hearing the case was Michael Martinelli, who ordered Mecca to be freed on bail and to make restitution. She is due back in court for sentencing on March 18, 2020.

The Mount Pleasant police department made the arrest.

Scarpino said Mecca was working for FujiFilm at its headquarters in Valhalla when she committed the larceny. The company offered its employees a benefit program called FujiFilm Achiever’s Points. The incentive program rewarded employees who demonstrated outstanding performance with points, which could be accumulated and eventually redeemed for gift cards.

Programs such as the one used by

FujiFilm operate in a similar manner to frequent-flyer programs used by airlines and bonus-point programs by credit card companies in that accumulated points can be redeemed for items of value.

According to Scarpino, Mecca had clearance to issue the benefit points to company employees. Over a two-and-a-half-month period, she issued 41,784,000 points to herself. The points she issued to herself had a value of $417,840 that she used to purchase gift cards for herself.

Mecca’s theft was discovered when monitors noticed something suspicious was going on with her account.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Gwen Galef, chief of the Economic Crimes Bureau in Scarpino’s office.

Truth in advertising: Where is it?

A

re we being told the truth by some of our most trusted retailers? The answer is no.

In the Bible you will find many business ethics. “The requirement of accurate weights and measures” is one of the first and the “prohibition of monetary deception” is another.

Consider the requirement of accurate weights and measures according to the Book of Leviticus (19:35-36) that states you shall not falsify measures of length, weight or capacity. You shall have an honest balance, an honest weight.

The prohibition of monetary deception (Leviticus 25:14) teaches that when you sell anything to your neighbor or buy anything

from your neighbor, you shall not deceive one another.

The prohibition of monetary deception (Leviticus 25:14) teaches that when you sell anything to your neighbor or buy anything from your neighbor, you shall not deceive one another.

LUMBER

I went to buy some wood for a project I am working on.

I went to a lumber store and asked for a 1”x10”x 8’ of cherry wood. The proprietor wrote my ticket 1”x10”x8’. I paid for it and then went down to pick up the wood. The man in the yard pulls out a piece of cherry and it looks thin to me. So I measured it. It measured exactly ¾”. I had been familiar with 2’x4’s being sold at less than their stated dimensions, but not hard wood. The 2’x 4’ is now 1¾’x3½’. I began to feel cheated. With the cherry I was paying for a 1” piece and I got ¾” and it wasn’t 10” wide. It was 9.5”.

Why do they do this? It’s simple. They make more money. It is being sold as 1” but they’re delivering ¾”.

As an example, let’s assume that you are buying four sheets of wood. If they are all cut back by a quarter-inch, in essence you should get the fifth board free. But they don’t do this. They’ll sell you the fifth board. This goes against both codes of ethics.

BANKING

You’re looking for a mortgage or a loan and you read in the newspaper 5% interest.

I think we have all learned that to determine the interest payment, you multiply the interest rate by the amount you have borrowed: $1 million at 5% and it equals $50,000 per year.

Right?

Wrong!

The banks, virtually all of them, are very clever. How many days are there in a year? We all know it’s 365. So why does a bank charge 5% over 360 days. The answer is because they are getting the $50,000 over a shorter period of time. So who is paying interest on the other five days? You are. This means they are charging more than 5%. It’s misleading, it’s wrong and it goes against the second code of ethics of “prohibition of monetary deception.”

LEASING A CAR

You are interested in leasing a car. You pick up the paper and see that one car is leasing at $299 per month and the same car at another dealership is leasing at $350 per month.

Where do you go? The answer is obvious.

Same car for less money.

If it were me, I would take my wife and my children and make an activity of it. Let’s go get a car!

So what’s the problem?

When we get there we find that we have to put down $3,900 in cash and then make these monthly payments. I don’t have that kind of money so my wife and my children and I go home having been misled.

They could have said, “come to our dealership, we will lease you a car at $1 per month and all you have to do is put down $20,000 in cash.”

There is a saying: Truth in advertising, where is it?

Who is protecting us?

I hate it when I am misled or deceived and waste my time, effort and money only to find out that I have been duped.

IT security is crucial for disaster preparedness in the hospitality industry

f you’re in the hospitality industry, you’re aware of the challenges you face when it comes to handling disasters.

Most of the hoteliers we’ve spoken to have some sort of disaster recovery plan in place to protect guests, but they lack the detailed plans to secure systems critical to daily operations — such as IT. The following five tips will help you stay on top of your technology.

CREATE A GUEST COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY

Disasters cause more than just physical chaos.

You’ll need to ensure your guests and staff understand the plan for changing weather conditions, hotel evacuations and other conditions that may impact operations.

You can utilize services such as Kipsu to quickly

reach out to guests via text and other real-time alerts.

Kipsu enables you to set up group messaging that transforms emails into text messages (and vice versa) for flexible communication.

Everyone on staff can reach guests while adapting to changing disaster conditions.

PROACTIVELY ADDRESS PHONE LINES

It’s a good idea to re-route the phone lines before a disaster strikes. That way, guests who reach out via phone can be helped by the corporate office or your other hotels in the area.

Have your phone provider set up call forwarding that’s directed to a different phone number before the lines go down. Typically, we recommend re-routing to the main corporate line so they can assist with new accommodations or refunds.

ANTICIPATE POWER AND INTERNET OUTAGES

Losing power to your IT systems can cause chaos. In environments with on-premise servers, it’s common to lose internet before losing power. Internet connections are especially critical to credit card transactions.

Nearly all hotels have backup generators on standby to keep the building going in the event of a disaster. However, we recommend having a separate generator dedicated to the server room and its IT equipment. Because credit card transactions can be stored locally (and fully completed later once internet service is restored), it’s vital to keep your on-prem storage up and running.

Your backup power should keep the on-prem server going, as well as a minimum of one front desk

computer so you can process guest credit cards.

Alternatively, you can use mobile devices to keep things running. We’ve utilized Square readers so hotel GMs could take credit card information from cellphones. It’s also possible to use a laptop with a wireless adapter and a hot spot connection for card processing via a USB credit card reader. Once all the systems are restored, you can systematically process the cards on the main system.

ENSURE PHYSICAL ACCESS TO GUEST ROOMS

Since disasters often cause power outages, it’s common for guests to lose access to rooms that rely on electronic key readers.

As a result, you must rely on emergency keys to save the day.

Emergency keys can

open any guest room, but they have a dedicated shelf life of two years before expiration. Ensure these keys are functional ahead of time so you’re not caught without a way to access rooms.

HAVE A DATA BACKUP AND RECOVERY PROCESS

Your data is one of your most valuable assets.

To ensure it stays protected during a disaster, it’s essential to have a backup and recovery process in place. This means you regularly duplicate your data and have systems in place so that, in case of a data loss event, you can retrieve the duplicate set.

This involves both copying and archiving your data on a regular basis so up-todate information can be retrieved. Data from an earlier time may only be

WCBJ

recovered if it has been backed up.

These backups should be stored off-site in a compliant facility, ideally one that has been verified as such by an independent third party. SSAE16 is an auditing procedure that ensures your or your IT partner’s data center and procedures meet industry benchmarks for data protection.

We can’t control if or when a disaster strikes, but putting some time and effort into preparation helps ensure your business stays up and running and your guests and staff stay as safe and comfortable as possible, no matter what the weather brings.

Traveling the rail trail for more tourism

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

I

t used to be that railroad lines in the Hudson Valley could be counted on for bringing tourists and other travelers into the region, as well as carrying freight that was vital for the economy.

While changing times have seen many of those lines vanish, others have had their rights-of-way repurposed so that once again they are attractive for tourists and travelers and even local residents.

Scenic Hudson, the Poughkeepsie-based nonprofit that preserves land and farms and creates parks in the Hudson Valley, recently negotiated and funded the acquisition of 2.7 miles of a former rail corridor. It announced that the new rail trail was a reality on Dec. 11. Some of the money came from Scenic Hudson’s Lila Acheson and DeWitt Wallace Hudson Valley Land Preservation Endowment.

The Dutchess County Legislature had previously, on a unanimous vote, decided to assume ownership of the corridor and develop and maintain the rail trail. Scenic Hudson

Last summer local officials walked the new rail trail in Poughkeepsie.

had worked with the county in conducting an assessment of the environmental and physical conditions of the corridor.

It had been a freight train spur and had gone unused since the early 1980s. Shaped like a V, the rail corridor, now devoid of tracks and ties, extends north from Clinton Street in Poughkeepsie past the Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital to the site of the former Hudson River Psychiatric Hospital, past Marist College and ends near Kittredge Place. It will help provide

direct access to the Poughkeepsie waterfront as well as the Dutchess Rail Trail and Walkway Over the Hudson, the 1.28 mile former rail bridge over the Hudson River that was converted into a state park and is billed as the world’s longest elevated pedestrian bridge.

Plans call for the new Poughkeepsie rail trail to become part of the Empire State Trail, expected by the end of 2020 to be a 750-mile route from New York City to Canada and Buffalo. About 400 miles of the trail exist, although not all segments are connected. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced the trail plan in January 2017, positioning it as a key effort for tourism development, outdoor recreation and community vitality.

Ned Sullivan, president of Scenic Hudson, said the new rail trail at Poughkeepsie presents “great potential for expanding tourism and much-needed jobs.”

Steve Rosenberg, executive director of the Scenic Hudson Land Trust, told the Business Journal, “We’ve seen time after time that projects like this that run through communities where there are vacant or under-utilized buildings or parcels of land all of a sudden help create new economic opportunities. You literally have thousands of people traveling

who might be interested in stopping to take advantage of a new café, a microbrewery, some other shop or store, or a residential opportunity that they frankly hadn’t thought about before.”

While likening the Walkway Over the Hudson to being a Central Park for the MidHudson region, Rosenberg noted that rail trails such as the new one in Poughkeepsie as well as the existing RiverWalk in Westchester, Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, Hudson Valley Rail Trail and Greenline Trail in Kingston help develop a regional identity.

“The rail trail system in the Hudson Valley as a whole is growing by leaps and bounds,” he said. “Increasingly that is going to make the region more attractive for people who will want to move businesses here, who will want to live here and who will want to start new businesses and other projects because of their relationships to the trails.”

He said rail trails and similar features can help support property values.

“We’ve actually found over time that project after project results in houses actually becoming more attractive, actually garnering a premium on resale because of accessibility to a rail trail,” Rosenberg said.

AsK Andi Finding out about SBA lending LOOKING TO BUY A BUILDING. OUR BANK IS RECOMMENDING WE GO THROUGH THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. I’VE BEEN WARNED THAT THE SBA LENDING APPLICATION CAN BE AN ANNOYING PROCESS. WHAT’S YOUR RECOMMENDATION? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: The loan is actually coming from your bank. The SBA operates in the background. There are a bunch of requirements you’ll need to meet, whether it’s for an SBA loan, or for a loan held only by your bank. Applying for an SBA loan can increase the time it takes to get approved. SBA loans definitely have a use. Make sure it’s right for your business.

You’ll actually go through your bank’s lending process with a special application required by the SBA. The bank will be the lender. The SBA will guarantee the loan. Should you default on the loan, the SBA guarantees your bank will recover a significant portion of the loan outstanding. The SBA guarantee makes it easier for your bank to get your loan request approved.

Be prepared to meet lending requirements, whether you go strictly through your bank, or you agree to add on an SBA application. You’ll need to be a U.S-based company, doing business as a for-profit, typically an S-Corp, C-Corp or LLC/LLP. And you’ll need a down payment: 10% to 20% down is typical.

A personal guarantee is required, so you’ll want good personal credit as well as good business credit. You’ll also need to prove that the business can afford to make the loan payments.

And you’ll want to show a history of paying off expenses and debts on time.

The SBA and the bank will want to see that the owners have personally invested in the business. That’s the case for every business owner I know. Just make sure your balance sheet demonstrates that reality.

You and all other 20%-plus shareholders will be required to sign personal guarantees.

Why a personal guarantee? Since owners of privately held businesses answer only to themselves, they decide whether or not to ensure there’s enough to take care of loan obligations.

If the business gets into trouble, it’s assumed that’s a result of the owner’s management and decision-making. The bank wants the ability to “follow the money” by pursing the owner(s) personally if loans go south. That’s the long answer. The short one is, if you want to get money from a bank, be prepared to sign a personal guarantee that the loan will be paid back in full.

Since the SBA will be guaranteeing 75% to 85% of the bank loan, it will be actively involved in the loan application approval process. Expect that it can take several extra weeks to get their approval. That’s in addition to the time it will take for your local bank’s lending process. If you’re in a hurry, you may want to ask your bank what else you need to do to

be creditworthy on this loan without going through the SBA. But there may be a trade-off.

By avoiding the SBA lending program, you may pay a higher interest rate to your bank to cover their additional risk of going it alone with you.

The most common uses for SBA loans include purchasing equipment, buying a building, getting a credit line to back up accounts receivable and other working capital needs.

There are some special programs to help export-

ers. Ask your local banker for advice. And check out the volume of work your bank does with the SBA. The more volume, the more experienced they’ll be at knowing how to ensure the application process works well for you.
