From ‘basically bankrupt’ to booming SCHWARZ LOOKS BACK ON HIS TIME AS PRESIDENT OF SUNY PURCHASE BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
“W
e’re in business here,” Thomas J. Schwarz, president of SUNY Purchase, told the Business Journal as his July 31 retirement from the position he’s held since 2003 was rapidly approaching. He said the business is one of educating students, “and everything we do, whether it’s fiscal, physical, academic, is to educate our students.” In 2018, student enrollment at Purchase was 4,264. Positioning SUNY Purchase as an education business also happens to position the entire State University of New York system as a gigantic business because it has 64 campuses, serves more than 1.3 million students with more than 424,000 of them enrolled in degree programs, about 200,000 more taking credit courses and more than 700,000 in continuing education and community outreach programs. An analysis of state documents for the 2020 budget shows an estimated payroll of $3.8 billion, with SUNY having 46,092 employees, and a total recommended operating budget of $11.1 billion. Business at SUNY Purchase wasn’t good in January 2002 when Schwarz left his position as a partner in the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom where he was the national practice leader of the litigation department and assumed the role of acting president at SUNY Purchase. He was named the fifth president of the school in 2003. “We were basically bankrupt. When I got there, the state had stepped in. There were people up in Albany who were supposed to be overseeing what had been done down here and I don’t know what they were doing, but the music stopped. We were $5 million in the hole. The state lent us money, we repaid that money and now we’re one of the more solvent institutions in the system,” he said.
Schwarz’s attention to finances at Purchase College was highlighted on May 8 during a celebration of his tenure at a dinner held at the Performing Arts Center on campus, which was attended by 200. He was praised for increasing the college’s endowment from approximately $35 million to more than $90 million and creating new revenue streams to support the mission of the college. Of particular note was his leadership in creating Broadview, a senior living community being developed for the campus. Improving the physical plant and upgrading aesthetics on the 500-acre campus at 735 Anderson Hill Road was an important initiative for Schwarz. “The mall was falling apart. You couldn’t walk on it. The trees died in November and in December this looked like the environment that Dr. Kevorkian would like to operate in. Very depressing. Now we’ve rebuilt the mall. We have green all year around and physically that’s very uplifting to people.” Numerous renovation projects were undertaken and a new Center for Media, Film and Theatre is slated to open in the fall. Another project will create a new focal point for people entering the campus. “We’re finally going to have an entry to the campus, which will be off the major parking lot. People didn’t know where do you go, so that will make it clear where the Performing Arts Center is, where the Neuberger Museum is.” Schwarz said the precision required in law and litigation was helpful in making the transition to the responsibilities of college president. “Nobody ever calls a litigator when things are good. They call corporate lawyers or real estate lawyers and they want to plan an estate or something, but they call litigators when something bad has happened, so I was used to conflict and I’m not conflict-shy. I don’t like it, but I don’t run away from it,” he said.

”What helped me more was being mayor of a community for nine years because you know, you can be a mayor but if you don’t bring your board of legislators you don’t get anywhere and here, effectively, your board of legislators is your faculty and you need to figure out how to bring them along.” Schwarz had been mayor of the Suffolk County community of Ocean Beach. Schwarz said being politically knowledgeable has been fundamental to the job of Purchase College president. “You have to get along with the legislators in Albany and the governor’s office and you also have to represent your campus. There have been items where there have been tremendous tensions between elected officials and what I see as my role to protect the college and protect the staff of the college, not in a personal way, but in a professional way. Lawyers are well-trained to disagree and not personalize it,” he said. Schwarz said one thing he has missed seeing on campus during his tenure was
political activism of the kind he experienced during the Vietnam War. “I’m dismayed that there isn’t more political activism on this and other campuses,” he said. “I think the disconnect with what goes on in Washington, the turmoil that this president has created, is not good. And it went on before (Donald) Trump was president.” He said changes to the primary educational system could do something about it. “I think the lack of civic education in (grades) K through 12 is very damaging to democracy,” he said. “Leave aside that people just end up teaching for the test. There are no arts. There’s nothing in there particularly inspiring with respect to responsibility in a democracy.” Purchase College wasn’t touched by the national scandal concerning bribery in college admissions. “It wasn’t unnoticed, but at the same time it wasn’t surprising. There are all sorts of ways that the wealthy have advantages and this one was a criminal way,” Schwarz said. Promoting science education also has been important for Schwarz. “One of the things I did was to start a science award with the Westchester County Association, Bill Mooney, because I wanted people to know we had a great liberal arts college,” he said. “We send a lot of kids to graduate school in the sciences and I want people to know we’re not just an arts school.” Schwarz expressed pride in the students who attend SUNY Purchase and are graduating in greater numbers than before. “I think our greatest accomplishment in my time was to almost double our graduation rates.” His immediate plans after leaving office include spending a couple of months relaxing at his house on Fire Island and, perhaps, “I’d like to help an institution that has a good purpose and needs some help and direction, something similar to what I did here, although I don’t want to go through another 17- or 18-year stint.”
Attorneys general seek to block T-Mobile and Sprint merger BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

less networks. The complaint by the attorneys general, which was filed in New York federal court, insisted that the union of the mobile network providers would result in increased prices on cell phone services while diminishing the competition in that sector. “When it comes to corporate power, bigger isn’t always better,” said James, who is leading the lawsuit in conjunction with California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. “The T-Mobile and Sprint merger
WCBJ
would not only cause irreparable harm to mobile subscribers nationwide by cutting access to affordable, reliable wireless service for millions of Americans, but would particularly affect lower-income and minority communities here in New York and in urban areas across the country. That’s why we are going to court to stop this merger and protect our consumers, because this is exactly the sort of consumer-harming, job-killing megamerger our
antitrust laws were designed to prevent.” Tong added that “the average American household still spends over $1,000 a year on wireless service — way too much. Cell phones are not a luxury or convenience. They are a necessity of modern life for every Connecticut family. We need more competition in the market, not less. Federal antitrust law prohibits mergers that substantially lessen competition. This proposed merger should be blocked.”
Trustee wants do-over in photocopier schemer’s bankruptcy BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
T
he U.S. Trustee’s Office is asking the federal bankruptcy court to revoke the discharge from a Chapter 7 liquidation case by Eastchester photocopier salesman Joseph Holzberg. Holzberg had testified that his petition was “true and correct,” but he had omitted a key creditor, Executex Inc., a Hawthorne company that had paid him $435,518 in commissions on $1 million in photocopy leases. The omission was significant because customers had not actually ordered the machines and Holzberg, according to court records, had forged contracts, stashed the machines in a warehouse and hoped that customers didn’t notice they were making payments on equipment they didn’t possess. “In failing to disclose significant liabilities and assets in his Chapter 7 case,” attorney Greg M. Zipes stated on behalf of U.S. Trustee William Harrington in a June 3 complaint filed in bankruptcy court in White Plains, “the defendant received his discharge through fraud.” Holzberg worked for Executex as an independent contractor from 2012 to 2017. His scheme worked until USIS, a technology company in Pearl River, noticed $250,000 in charges for 20 photocopiers it never ordered. Executex discovered 60 bogus leases. It had to pay $1 million to buy back copiers from the companies that financed the phony transactions. Holzberg had declared assets of $738,293 and liabilities of $923,310 in the 2017 Chapter 7 case. Tarrytown lawyer Mark S. Tulis was assigned as the trustee in the case, and he reviewed the documents and questioned Holzberg. Tulis concluded, according to court records, “that there is no property available for distribution from the estate, over and above that exempted by law.” The court granted Holzberg a discharge from his debts. Less than two months later, in August 2018, Holzberg filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition to protect his home from foreclosure. He declared $732,080 in assets and $836,400 in liabilities. Again, Executex was not listed as a creditor. This time, Executex sued Holzberg in bankruptcy court for fraud, embezzlement and larceny. Holzberg did not respond to the charges, and in December Judge Robert D. Drain issued a default judgment in favor of Executex for nearly $1.7 million. The Chapter 13 petition was dismissed for failure by Holzberg to make payments to creditors. Now the trustee’s office wants to undo the Chapter 7 discharge. Holzberg had not accounted for the $435,518 in commissions he had received, the trustee argues, thus possibly depriving creditors of assets.
Democrats ask Lamont to back down on tolls BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com
G
ov. Ned Lamont predicted a legislative compromise on the question of bringing electronic tolling to Connecticut’s highways, but he acknowledged no compromise was in sight on expanding the state’s gaming industry to nontribal entities. Speaking on June 12 before the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, Lamont observed that “investment in transportation is the elephant in the room. I admit that’s incredibly controversial.” He also said that some members of the Democratic majority in the Legislature have privately asked him to back down on his efforts to re-establish tolls in Connecticut.
“The folks in the caucus say, “I know it’s the right thing to do, but do I have to do it now? Can’t I study it a little bit more? Can you get me one more election under my belt?’ ” he said, noting his response to their requests was “No, we’re here to do a job.” Lamont criticized the Republican plan dubbed Prioritize Progress, which he categorized as an effort to “borrow $700 million a year on the backs of Connecticut taxpayers with interest.” Yet in noting his lack of enthusiasm for that plan, he pointed out that “a lot of people aren’t very sympathetic to my point of view, either.” He predicted that a compromise agreement will be reached. “We’ll make a deal where no one will be happy,” he said. On another issue, the governor looked at the impasse between MGM Resorts
International and the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes regarding the state’s gaming industry, glumly stating that “I haven’t been able to solve that nut yet.” Lamont insisted that a failure to reach an equitable solution would negatively impact Connecticut. “Resorts and gaming and internet gambling and sports betting are out there,” he said. “It’s going to be a piece of our country’s future and I don’t want to see Connecticut left behind. I’m still trying to sort out an agreement between MGM, which wants to come in and put in $750 million into Bridgeport and not asking for a dime from the state, and the tribes who say, ‘You can’t do that — we have the exclusive compact.’ I thought we moved that negotiation to the 5-yard line, with that final five yards to come.”

Funding still flat, but Connecticut tourism efforts on the rise BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com
D
oing more with less has been something of a mantra for Connecticut’s tourism industry for nearly a decade. But if an apparently renewed interest in the sector by state lawmakers is anything to go by, that could soon change. “We are an industry that is one of the few in the state that consistently puts money back into the state's checkbook,” said Connecticut Office of Tourism Director Randy Fiveash. “We’re always talking with legislators about that, but this has been a very good year from the standpoint of getting their attention.” Last fall, Speaker of the House Joe Aresimowicz convened a panel on tourism which in March recommended increasing the hotel occupancy tax revenue that is diverted to the Arts, Culture and Tourism Fund from 10 percent to 25 percent, with 60 percent of that total going toward supporting tourism and the remainder supporting arts and culture. The panel also endorsed appointing a commissioner of arts, culture and tourism, who would report to the governor and would work closely with a tourism council consisting of 27 members appointed by the governor, members of the Senate and House leadership and local organizations. It also advocated opening and staffing the state’s five highway welcome centers on a 24/7 basis, something Fiveash said he believed “everyone, without exception, wants to happen.” Work on implementing the panel’s other recommendations, and the formation of the new tourism council, has just begun, Fiveash said. “We’re aware of the budget deficit,” Fiveash said. “What we’re saying is, ‘Let us help you pay it off.’ It’s a new way of thinking for some of them, where they say, ‘Hmm, that’s a pretty interesting concept.’ But these things can take a while.” Tourism’s impact on the state’s fortunes is self-evident, he said. According to the department’s latest report, for 2017, the sector produced $15.5 billion in total business sales, up 5.5 percent from 2015. Total tax

revenue in 2017 was $2.2 billion, including $960 million in state and local taxes, compared with 2015’s $1.7 billion/$910 million in state and local taxes. The sector directly supported 84,254 jobs in ’17 — 5.3% of all jobs in the state -- compared with 82,688 in ’15. As for the COT’s budget, it will remain basically flat this fiscal year: $4.3 million vs. $4.1 million last fiscal year. Fiveash said that about 75% of the department’s marketing efforts will be targeted at visitors from out of state, particularly in New York City, Boston, Rhode Island and Springfield, Massachusetts. The COT is doubling down on technology this year, by tracking the inter-

ests of travelers through their cell phones in an effort to target them on more of an individual basis, adding Snapchat to its social media outreach and implementing “weather-responsive” electronic billboards. “If it’s sunny and bright, the billboards show outdoor activities, and if it’s overcast or rainy it switches to images promoting indoor activities,” he said. Email newsletters will go out to some 100,000 consumers this year, while the ever-expanding ctvisit. com website features over 4,000 tourist attractions, accommodations, restaurants and information about towns and cities — reflecting a general shift in travelers’ interests, Fiveash said.
“It used to be you’d drive around and see things and take pictures,” he said. “That’s still true, but more and more people are looking to have ‘experiences,’ which they want to share on social media to let their friends know what they did and what they experienced — which is great for us.” Absent from the website and the sector’s literature is the “Connecticut: Still Revolutionary” tagline, phased out after seven years as it was “becoming a distraction,” Fiveash said. The COT director said the slogan was never meant to be a part of the state’s branding, and that feedback from stakeholders indicated it was of little value. While Gov. Ned Lamont has toyed with the idea of holding a contest to come up with a new tagline, “There are no direct plans to find a new one,” Fiveash said. And while its budget is a far cry from the $15 million high in 2011 during then-Gov. Dannel Malloy’s first year in office — it’s still better than the $1 it was slashed to in 2010 by Malloy’s predecessor, M. Jodi Rell. “Until recently, a lot of legislators didn’t know how important tourism is as a revenue-driver,” Fiveash said. “Now it looks like that could be changing.”

ioInc@NYMC, the biotechnolog y incubator at New York Medical College in Valhalla, has announced plans to add 9,500 square feet to its facilities so it can handle more startup companies. The expansion at BioInc’s 7 Dana Road location on the NYMC campus is expected to be completed in the fall. “We are filled to capacity and want to meet the growing demand from startups looking for space. That’s what’s driving this expansion,” said Deborah Novick, director of the incubator. “We are actively seeking new clients now who can move in by early fall when the renovation will be complete.” In operation for five years, it is the mid-Hudson Valley’s only fully equipped biotechnology incubator on a health sciences college campus. There are nine biomedical startups operating in the center. They employ more than 50 people. The construction project is going to create eight to 10 offices of varying sizes, a conference room, new shared-space desks for virtual clients who are not at the biotech site full time, a space for seminars and a kitchen area. The startups working within BioInc include: Retia Medical, whose Argos Cardiac Output Monitor received 501(k) approval from the FDA in December 2018; Sapience Therapeutics, which is focused on discovering and developing peptide-based therapeutics to previously ‘undruggable’ targets for major unmet medical needs, particularly high mortality cancers; MediSprout, which has developed a virtual video product, V2MD, a secure, reliable way for a multitude of practitioners to better connect with their existing patients to build relationships and provide ongoing care; Sweet Defeat, which has developed the only clinically proven natural lozenge that stops sugar cravings in seconds; Philips Intellispace Genomics, featuring collaborative computational genomics research activities between Philips Healthcare, NYMC scientists and Westchester Medical Center; Af�ina Biotech, developing a first-in-class treatment for late-stage ovarian cancer using small hyper-interaction modulators (SHIMs) designed to repair function of mutant p53; Akeso Therapeutics, developing a curative therapy for metastatic or refractory/ recurrent hematological cancers utilizing T-cells; DigiTouch Health, a digital

Luxury Cars —
places in the U.S. for the ultra-rich to take their luxury vehicles for special treatments and upgrades. “I find that super-affluent people tend to be fastidious,” Figiola told the Business Journal. “They’re used to customizing their lives. They’re used to customizing their bathroom, their pool house, their vacation home, their clothing. They’re very exacting about it and I share that. I understand that. I embrace it.” Figiola also has customers who are not among the ultra-rich. Figiola set up operations in Tuckahoe in the fall of 1998. He and a group of partners had been operating in south Yonkers, primarily focused on audio installations but he decided to go off on his own. As a young child, he had developed a curiosity about things electronic and mechanical. In high school, he helped a friend install a stereo in his car, rewired his clock radio to accept extra loudspeakers and hauled home a washing machine he found on the street to find out what made it tick, much to his mother’s chagrin. “It’s mechanics, electronics, a deep interest in how all that engineering went together. The mystery of what this little component was and taking apart capacitors and finding wads of what looked like paper with oil on them,” Figiola said. After high school, he took jobs in Westchester as a car stereo installer until his entrepreneurial spirit took over. “What we do is very wide ranging,” he said.

“There’s what I would call the sort of ‘normal work,’ the work that’s going on every day, things like applying paint protection film, which is a clear plastic protection that goes over the paint-
ed surfaces.” The plastic protects a vehicle’s surface from pebbles and dirt and errant valets. “We do ceramic waxes, which are incredibly resilient and shiny. We do radar detector installations and do some general service work for our clients. We don’t promote service work but we wind up doing some of it.” Figiola noted that paint jobs coming out of the factory on exquisite cars can be full of imperfections and part of their job in Tuckahoe is to find the imperfections and fix them for clients who insist on perfection with little regard for extra cost. Ai Design also takes on project vehicles, where a car or van may be stripped down and completely reworked in a process, which can
Stamford —
not far from Vela. The building, across from Stamford City Hall, is replacing one of the three cylindrical towers of the St. John affordable housing project, which was demolished earlier this year. LMC is also providing $4.3 million to St. John Urban Development Corp. to renovate the remaining two towers, rather than including affordable units in The Smyth. “We believe that Stamford has emerged as a legitimate urban residential mecca,” said LMC Divisional President, New York/Tristate Area Greg Belew. “Between all of the new institutional-quality, high-end residential buildings that have risen in the downtown area, plus all of the new activity in the South End, there is now a meaningful density of in-town residents. “There are plenty of people living in these new high-end rental buildings who don’t even work in Stamford, but who want to live here to be part of the social scene. They commute to other parts of Fairfield or Westchester County, or get on the train and commute into Grand Central every day. It is no secret that a lot of people have been priced out of New York City and are finding the easily commutable urban/suburban areas such as Stamford a great alternative with a lower cost of living and a great lifestyle.” There has also been a steady stream of good news regarding new jobs due to companies growing or moving to the area, he noted. The Smyth will provide 19,330 square feet

take months or even years. During the Business Journal’s visit, a stainless-steel CJ-3A Jeep body from the Philippines was being built up for a client who wanted to turn it into an electric vehicle. In another part of the shop, a GMC motor home from the 1970s was being converted into luxury quarters for a music promoter to use on concert tours. The shop has 3-D printing capability to create custom parts as well as a high-tech router and tools for upholstery, leather work and various mechanical operations. Figiola has 11 on his staff at Ai Design. “The culture here is that we’re really craftsmen. The majority of them have been with me for 10 years. There’s little turnover. I’m willing to put up with all sorts of idiosyncrasies, but at the end of the day you need to be able to do the work,” he said. Figiola’s customers tend to value their privacy, although he did acknowledge that some are household names. “Some of them explicitly tell me not to say anything. Some of them require that we hide license plates and registration stickers,” he said. He said the reputation of Ai Design has been built largely by word of mouth, although the company does have a website. “News travels far when you do really good work, even if you’re the most expensive option. That seems to matter less to people who really want to have what they want to have. They want an experience that doesn’t have to entail them coming back for repairs, fixes. They want it right the first time. They want to be impressed by how right it actually was done.”

of retail space and three stories of garage parking in addition to high-end homes. The apartments will range from 574 to 2,065 square feet, with an average size of 854 square feet, and will come in layouts ranging from studios to three bedrooms. Den layouts and two-story penthouses will also be offered. Belew said LMC first learned about 885 Washington three years ago. “We were initially attracted because it was apparent to us that it is the best location in Stamford due to its proximity to both the train station and the core dining and entertainment destinations in downtown Stamford,” he said. “We also recognized that, given the size of the property, it presented an

opportunity for a development of significant scale. It took quite a bit of time to work through the purchase, design, approvals, demolition of the existing building on the site, etc., but the wait was worth it.” That wait is scheduled to end in the summer of 2021, when the first units are due to be completed. The ground-floor retail space, which will include restaurants on the endcaps, should be ready for build out starting in the late fall of that same year. Although LMC has no additional deals pending in the state at the moment, “We are still bullish on southern Fairfield and also are looking at New Haven,” Belew said.
he New York State Public Service Commission will be holding public hearings on the gas and electric delivery rate increase request that Con Edison filed on Jan. 31. The utility is asking for an average 8.6% increase in its charges for delivering electricity to customers and an average 14.5% increase in gas delivery rates. Con Ed estimates customers would pay an extra $485 million for electricity delivery and $210 million more for gas delivery. Con Edison has continued to come under criticism because of the moratorium on new natural gas hookups in most of Westchester County and its sluggish response to past storm-related electric outages. The hearings are set for: • June 25 — An informational session will be followed by a public hearing at the Grinton I. Will Branch of the Yonkers Public Library at 1500 Central Park Ave. in Yonkers. The first session begins at 1 p.m. and a second session begins at 6 p.m. • June 26 — Informational sessions begin at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the New York State Department of Public Service at 90 Church St. in Manhattan with public hearings to follow.

nder a $1.29 billion budget endorsed June 13 by the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Board of Regents’ Finance Committee, the state’s 12 community colleges will be forced to cut their budgets by a collective $12.5 million next year. Although the budget, which is 4 percent higher than last year’s, includes an additional $11.5 million in state funding, it still falls short of what is needed for the schools to at least break even, according to CSCU officials. With no further aid apparently coming from the state Legislature — something that CSCU President Mark Ojakian had been hoping for — the regents projected a budget deficit of $19.6 million for the 12 colleges this year, up significantly from the $7.9 million shortfall it incurred last year. Meanwhile, the four state universities overseen by CSCU — including Danburybased Western Connecticut State — face a $7.5 million shortage this year, compared with $906,396 last year. The system’s community colleges include Norwalk Community College and Bridgeport’s Housatonic Community College. Also, Ojakian’s controversial Students First plan to reorganize the 12 community colleges into one statewide community college by the fall of 2023 — which the system estimates would save some $23 million per year — is still very much in play. Although it failed to gain approval from accrediting agency the New England Association of Schools and Colleges — now called the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) — in 2018, the General Assembly’s nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis has verified its calculations, an important factor when the plan is resubmitted to NECHE, possibly this year.

IN COURT Lawyer suspended 2 years for stealing $400K in sales taxes BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
C
onvicted White Plains lawyer Peter V. Spagnuolo was suspended June 5 from practicing law for two years for stealing state sales tax payments from two restaurants. A state appellate court had suspended him in January 2018 for the same crimes and then given him a chance to show why he should not receive a final order of suspension, censure or disbarment. Spagnuolo “failed to meet his burden of establishing why this court should not issue a final order of public discipline,” five justices of the Second Appellate Division in Brooklyn ruled. Spagnuolo owned the Desert Moon Café and a Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs eatery at The Westchester mall in White Plains. He maintained a law office in Mount Kisco. For six years, from 2009 to 2015, according to court documents, he collected sales taxes from customers but pocketed the money and
failed to file tax returns. The Westchester County district attorney charged Spagnuolo and his companies in 2017 with felony charges of grand larceny and tax fraud. He was permitted to enter a guilty plea to a misdemeanor after he paid restitution of $403,719 for the sales taxes and personal taxes. Westchester Supreme Court sentenced him to probation for one year and his companies to three years. Last summer, the Ninth Judicial District Attorney Grievance Committee held a hearing on the circumstances of the crimes. Spagnuolo admitted that his conduct was illegal and morally wrong, according to the appellate ruling summarizing his testimony, “and if he was confronted with the same circumstances he would act differently and close the businesses and figure out a way to pay what he owes.” He stated that his actions crippled him financially and he felt remorse for disgracing his family and the legal profession. He still owed $1.2 million in interest and penalties
for the tax infractions and “he intends to start paying these obligations when he is able to do so.” He also owes $115,062 for unpaid federal income taxes in 2016, according to a tax lien filed in October. His attorney, Hal R. Lieberman, argued for a censure, or for a suspension of no more than six months, retroactive to the original interim suspension. Spagnuolo had cooperated with investigators and apologized for his misconduct, Lieberman contended. He had harmed no clients — though Spagnuolo admitted that he did harm the public — and that his restitution evidenced good character. Justices Alan Scheinkman, Ruth Balkin, Mark Dillon, William Mastro and Reinaldo Rivera agreed with the grievance committee recommendation for discipline. He had knowingly stolen tax revenues for a protracted period, the justices ruled. And his disciplinary record “is not unblemished, as he has received two admonitions and a letter of caution.”
Danone accused of mislabeling vanilla yogurt brands in $5M class-action lawsuit BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
D
anone North America uses synthetic ingredients in its vanilla yogurts, according to a class-action lawsuit, and misleads consumers about the nature of the products. Theresa Andriulli of West Haven, Connecticut, sued Danone June 2 in federal court in White Plains, seeking at least $5 million on behalf of customers who bought Danone’s whole milk, lowfat and Oikos Triple Zero vanilla yogurts. “The products are misleading,” the complaint states, “because despite being labeled as ‘vanilla,’ they have less vanilla flavor derived from vanilla beans than their name suggests.” Michael Neuwirth, a spokesman for the French corporation’s White Plainsbased operations, said the company declines to comment on pending litigation. Vanilla is the third-most-
popular flavoring, the complaint states, prized by consumers for its flavor and aroma, but it is expensive. “There is a strong incentive for bad actors to pass off inferior, cheaper and non-vanilla substitutes in the place of real vanilla,” the complaint states. Vanilla mimics include: vanillin, derived from tree bark and wood pulp; coumarin, a toxic substance that has medical applications; and Tonka beans that are banned in the U.S. The complaint claims that Danone used misleading labeling to deceive customers into paying a premium price of $2.99 per 5.3 ounces. The complaint does not identify Danone’s vanilla substitute or offer specific evidence of Danone’s use of substitutes. The clue that something is amiss, according to the complaint, can be detected in the labels and ingredient lists. All three product lines are labeled “vanilla with
other natural flavors.” Ingredients include “natural flavors” or “natural vanilla flavor.” The phrase “with other natural flavors” means that something is being used to simulate, resemble or reinforce the vanilla flavor. The best-known imitator is vanillin, an artificial flavor. Thus, according to the complaint, vanilla with other natural flavors is vanilla “adulterated by a new name.” The label should say, according to the complaint, “contains vanillin, an artificial flavor.” If Andriulli had assurances that the yogurts were represented correctly, the complaint states, she “would consider purchasing the products again.” The complaint accuses Danone of violating state unfair trade practices laws, negligent misrepresentation, breach of warranty, fraud and unjust enrichment. She is represented by attorney Spencer Sheehan of Great Neck, Long Island.
Pension scheme costs Newburgh lawyer his livelihood BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
A
wire fraud conviction cost Michael J. Vatter his position as Newburgh fire chief, ended his ability to practice law and thwarted his attempt to reunite with his wife in Florida. A state appeals court has disbarred Vatter over a federal wire fraud conviction for taking $95,000 in pension benefits. “By virtue of his felony conviction,” five Second Appellate Division justices concurred on June 12, Vatter “is automatically disbarred.” Last month, U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel blocked his
10
JUNE 24, 2019
request for early release from probation to move to Florida. Vatter, 60, grew up in a tumultuous home in Brooklyn, then Central Valley in Orange County, with two alcoholic parents, according to a sentencing memorandum in the wire fraud case. But when he joined the Woodbury Fire Department as a junior member, at age 16, he found a sense of normalcy in the camaraderie of the firehouse and in the role of helping others. He became a Newburgh firefighter in 1980 and over a 20-year career worked his way up the ranks to deputy fire chief. He retired from the fire service in 2000 and began collecting a pension. Vatter got a law degree

from Pace University and was admitted to the bar in 2004. In 2009, after practicing law in Manhattan, Newburgh hired him as fire chief. He continued collecting the pension through 2014, despite a state law that requires benefits to be suspended when retirees earn more than $30,000 a year. Vatter knew of the limitation, had not applied for a waiver, had not reported the extra earnings and had collected an extra $95,106. Vatter pleaded guilty in 2016 to wire fraud and he was sentenced to time served, three years of supervised release and 200 hours of community service. He was ordered to pay back the pen-
sion fund and he was fined $50,000. “After his arrest, living in New York became financially disastrous for him and his wife as he remained unemployed,” his attorney, William J. Harrington, stated last month in a letter to judge Seibel. The couple decided to sell their home and move to south Florida, where they figured the cost of living and lower taxes “might allow them to live within their means.” Mrs. Vatter moved in March, and Mr. Vatter, still on probation until September, has been staying with friends in New York. Harrington asked Seibel to cut Vatter’s probation short by three months so he
could move in with his wife in Florida, assist her with health issues and stabilize their finances. He has paid back the pension fund and part of the $50,000 fine and he has found work writing public safety manuals for about $66,000 a year. But Harrington acknowledged that when Vatter helped move his wife to Florida in March, he had overstayed the approved visit by 10 days, and his probation officer had imposed a penalty of 60 days of home confinement in New York. Ending his probation on June 16, Harrington argued last month, would serve the primary purpose of super-
vised release: facilitating the integration of offenders back into the community rather than punishing them. Seibel rejected Vatter’s request. The circumstances are in large part of Vatter’s own making, she ruled on May 15. He has not earned leniency by good behavior. He has not paid the fine and has resisted doing so. His failure to comply with a court order suggests that without the threat of a probation violation, he will continue to ignore the court. “It is unfortunate that Mr. Vatter’s poor decisions will redound to his wife’s detriment,” Seibel stated, “but that surely cannot be a surprise to him.”
FACES & PLACES Blythedale starts suicide prevention program Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla on May 8 welcomed dozens of staff, clinicians and community members to the inaugural presentation of a new series of educational initiatives aimed at identifying the warning signs and risk factors of suicide and how to prevent it. The first program, “Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention,” was organized by Suzanne Bartlett of Thornwood, Blythedale’s director of employee health, in association with Maria Idoni, director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Westchester/Hudson Valley chapter. Bartlett began the presentation with a discussion on how suicide touched her family through the loss of her 25-year-old son, Peter, to suicide. Bartlett introduced her daughter, Christine, who gave a speech about her brother and his life before turning the stage over to Idoni for the featured presentation. Idoni spoke about ways to take the stigma off mental health issues and making mental health a priority in the community. Bartlett presented her daughter with a blanket covered in family photos of Peter as the crowd applauded and wiped away tears.

t is not uncommon for a person to spin a hobby into a successful business. However, it is highly uncommon for a person to take that route and then go further by creating and simultaneously running three retail businesses. But for Susan Hickey, it’s just another day at work at Captain’s Cove in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport. Hickey’s unlikely odyssey began in a decidedly nonbusiness setting. “About eight years ago I was part of a volunteer program at my daughter’s school with the Audubon Society,” she recalled. “The program was called CANE — Connecticut Audubon Nature Explorers — and it was designed to learn about the salt marsh. So, we set up a tank in class with salt water from Long Island Sound and went about catching creatures for the tank.” Hickey’s travels along the Fairfield County shoreline clicked on an artistic inspiration and she began to collect shells, bones and rocks and arrange them into word signs. She also used similar materials to create miniature tiaras for the girls in her daughter’s class. “From there, it just branched out,” she added. In 2012, Hickey and a friend partnered in opening A Shore Thing as a small retail shop on the Captain’s Cove boardwalk that offered her handmade signs and other products with a maritime theme. After four years, Hickey’s partner bowed out and she took over the business, branching out into offering pirate-inspired merchandise and aquatic-inspired games, apparel and gifts ranging from jewelry to dried Philippine porcupine fishes. “My oldest daughter is into aquaculture and created Santa Claus ornaments made from oyster clams and original paintings inside clam shells,” she said, referring to 17-year-old Charlotte Hickey, who also creates and sells original tiedyed T-shirts with designs celebrating the aquatic life of the world’s oceans and seas. Earlier this year, A Shore Thing expanded into catering, with raw bar delicacies to be served at weddings, corporate events and holiday parties. “We took an old Optimist sailboat and converted it into a raw bar,” Hickey said. “It can be set up either inside or outside.” In 2014, as Hickey was taking solo ownership of A Shore Thing, she also took over the vacant retail space next door and opened Candy by A Shore Thing, which offers snacks that are rarely seen in traditional grocery or candy retailers. “We have candy cigarettes, bubble gum cigars, gummy noodles that look like Chinese

food,” she said. “There is also edible paper and ink. You can write whatever you want and eat your words — literally.” Also prominent at Candy by A Shore Thing is a Ms. Pac Man machine. This 1980s entertainment is mostly ignored today by younger visitors who were not born when game arcades were ruled by oversized machinery. “Not that many people play it,” Hickey said, adding with a frown, “Everyone plays on their phone now.” Earlier this year Hickey learned that the owner of Tabitha’s Ice Cream Classics, the food retail business next to Candy by A Shore Thing, was planning to retire. Recognizing the outlet’s popularity with the Captain’s Cove visitors, Hickey made an offer and acquired the business. “My friend Jack Van Sant and I completely gutted, renovated, fixed and took over,” she said, offering both traditional flavors and pop-culture-inspired novelties, including the Bye Bye Miss America Pie Shake, the Baby Shark Kids’ Sundae and Game of Cones. As Hickey’s operations have expanded, she has ingratiated herself with the Captain’s Cove retailers and the site’s restaurant with a marketing tool designed to inspire the youngest visitors. “My oldest daughter created a pirate treasure map,” she said. “She drew every building with dotted lines and handed it out in the kids’ meals.” Retailing at Captain’s Cove is mostly seasonal and waves of customers ebb and flow according to various times of the day — the after-dinner crowd is often vibrant and the students from the neighboring Sailaway Sailing School also stop by when classes have anchored. Hickey found the Captain’s Cove experience to be “very fun, but very challenging also, mainly because of the weather. Last year was so rainy.” As for taking over additional outlets, Hickey made it clear that was not happening. “This is enough,” she said. “Three shops, two kids — I think I’m all set.”
Florida business district seeks migrating New Yorkers via ‘lighthearted poke’

T
he developer of Covered Bridge Apartments, the six-building, 180-unit apartment complex under construction in Newtown, is seeking to add more units. Contingent upon approval by the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission, developer Covered Bridge Newtown LLC wants to add a seventh building consisting of 30 units at 9 Covered Bridge Road, near Exit 9 of Interstate 84. The developer, which has completed one building — already occupied by renters — a clubhouse/office and in-ground swimming pool, initially received P&Z clearance for the project in 2015. That approval was given under Incentive Housing-10 (IH-10) zoning stat-

A
real estate developer in south Florida is seeking to lure New Yorkers to the Sunshine State with a facetious website that highlights the economic woes of the Empire State. The new UnhappyNewYorkers.com was created on behalf of Downtown Doral, a business development district within Miami-Dade County’s city of Doral. It promotes itself as offering “a playful poke at the high taxes, rotten winters and outrageous cost of living that are the constant complaints of New Yorkers.” The website snarkily allows New Yorkers to use an interactive chart to determine their annual savings by taking up a Florida residency, along with a user-ready “resignation letter” that announces their departure for Florida with the pronouncement that “I’m ready to welcome the warm climate, diverse culture and engaging lifestyle of Doral without feeling like all my money is going to taxes!” The website also has a social media-ready meme designed to denigrate New York with such catchy phrases as “I $ NY” and “Why Do You Think the Dodgers Left?” (Of course, Los Angeles is not part of Miami-Dade County, but the point is taken.) “No state income tax, no city income tax, no estate tax, a 15 to 20 percent lower cost of living than New York City and sunshine year-round — what’s not to like?” said Armando Codina, executive chairman of Codina Partners, the real estate investment and development firm behind Downtown Doral. “We heard Governor Cuomo’s frustration over the tax situation and are simply taking a lighthearted poke at the serious tax problem in New York — and other high-taxed states like New Jersey and Connecticut, while pointing out that there is an attractive alternative.”

Monroe ramps up economic development efforts BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com
T
he town of Monroe has been overshadowed over the past few years by neighboring Trumbull, where construction is booming to its south, and Danbury, making strides at redeveloping its downtown a few miles to the northwest. But Monroe First Selectman Ken Kellogg, who took office last year, says that is beginning to change. “We’re sending the message that we’re open for business, we’re easy to work with and we’re willing to change some things to build a better community,” he said. With a population of roughly 20,000, Monroe is in some ways still a rural community. “Our residential districts are all still called ‘residential and farming districts,’ ” Kellogg noted. “We have a lot of land zoned for business and industry,” he said. “And we’re starting to get interest in some of those long-vacant properties.” Kellogg said he believed he has been able to bring “a fresh look at things.” This includes working with the Connecticut Metropolitan Council of Governments (MetroCOG), a cooperative partnership between Monroe, Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Stratford and Trumbull, to modernize interacting with the town by shifting much of the workflow online, to relaxing requirements for developers looking to make minor adjustments to plans “like moving an AC unit from here to there,” Kellogg said. Monroe will also allow restaurants of 50 seats or fewer to apply for liquor licenses, something that had not been permitted before. “That’s one of those laws that had been there forever, probably a holdover from old blue laws,”
Kellogg remarked. There have also been key hires: Rick Schultz, who last year resigned from his post as Shelton Planning and Zoning Administrator after 22 years to become Monroe’s town planner; and Ray Giovanni, head of the Chamber of Commerce, who last year was appointed chair of the Economic Development Commission. Schultz said he was drawn to Monroe by the opportunity to work with another small, more agricultural-based community. “I’ve always enjoyed working with small businesses,” he said, noting that he had not met Kellogg before applying for the job. Giovanni said he knew Kellogg only slightly before being invited to head the Economic Development Commission. “We all agree that we want to make progress,” he said, “but in a way that’s respectful to our residents. We’re not going to be ‘go, go, go’ and bust everything open. We do not want to interfere with what people know and expect while developing our strategic process.” Last year saw Kellogg form the First Selectman’s Business & Industry Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from various sectors of the business community alongside relevant government officials. Schultz said the group convenes roughly every six weeks or so “as we have so many balls in the air now.” One of the first major developments is The Shoppes at Victoria Place, a “village-style shopping center” proposed for about 15 acres on the corner of Main Street and Victoria Drive. The project will include six buildings totaling 115,000 square feet, each with a unique façade, and offer a mix of restaurants and retail stores featuring national brands. Kellogg credited Monroe

resident and developer Robert Dunbar, who will submit a comprehensive plan and formal application to the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission “in the near future,” with “raising the bar on development in a way that Monroe hasn’t experienced in the past.” Still at issue is the future of the old Stevenson Lumber property at 1585 Monroe Turnpike, a 43-acre site that has been vacant since 2008. Various projects have been floated for all or part of that space over the years, and while Kellogg said there has been some interest expressed by developers he declined to name, no announcements are expected soon. Stevenson accounted for $24,000 in annual property taxes and 300 jobs before its exit. Schultz noted that the town is working with Trumbull to develop certain properties that straddle their common border. Monroe’s reliance on septic tanks could be a detriment to drawing larger companies to the town. Kellogg is including in Monroe’s next budget a RFP to have some funds set aside for a sewer-system feasibility study. While any sewer installations would likely be limited to
Routes 111 and 25, and possibly along Pepper Street — where Town Hall is located — Kellogg said the costs, including a sewer tax for residents, would decide the
long-debated issue. “We’ve been talking about it for decades,” he said. “What I want to do is explore the possibilities and put it before the town.
We don’t know what we’re looking at until we ask the right questions.” It is unknown if Walmart’s plan to open a Supercenter on three and a half acres on the southeast corner of Victoria Drive and Main Street was dealt a death blow by the sewer question. The company announced in 2017 that it would not proceed after several years of wrangling with the town’s approval and permitting processes. Walmart is in Monroe’s rear-view mirror, Kellogg said. The town remains hopeful that it could be home to an indoor ice-skating rink, the dearth of which in the area has led to skaters traveling to Shelton or Danbury. “Some of our high schoolers are going to Shelton at 5:30 in the morning to get ice time,” Giovanni said.

ASK ANDI Get new salespeople off the ground KNOW THAT IT TAKES A YEAR TO GET SOMEONE STARTED IN SALES WITHOUT A PIPELINE. WE CAN’T AFFORD TO TAKE THAT MUCH OF A HIT ON GETTING A SALESPERSON STARTING UP FROM SCRATCH. COULD PAY MORE FOR THE SALESPERSON THE FIRST YEAR THAN WHAT THEY CAN BRING IN IF THEY DON’T COME IN WITH A BOOK OF BUSINESS. AND FRANKLY, THE FOLKS WHO SAY THEY HAVE A BOOK OF BUSINESS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE AND EVEN MORE RISKY. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Define exactly who you do, and don’t, want to connect with. Use social media, email and events to connect, engage and build up relationships with the right opportunities for new salespeople to mine. Plan out trade shows that draw in a target-rich pool of attendees that match your ideal clients. Assign new salespeople to existing clients to shadow. Line up networking events to attend where your clients and prospects are likely to be present. Keep an eye on activity levels. Focus on buyers. Go for decision-makers. In the beginning, de-emphasize the indirect contacts through people who might know people who know people. Those can come later, but the first job is to fill up the pipeline with people who buy. Connect, connect, connect. Use social media to spread the word about who is on your team. Build familiarity with your company, your company’s products or services and the people who will be calling. It’s so much easier to break through to people who already have a connection with the person who is reaching out. Targeting specific hot prospect groups is a great way to plow and seed the field for incoming salespeople. Get new salespeople on LinkedIn right away and link them into any discussion groups that help them to get visibility. Give them support in creating blogs that prospective accounts might be interested in reading. Trade shows are a great opportunity to introduce salespeople to clients and prospects. It is also a good way

to watch how salespeople perform. Look for energy, focus on gathering lots of contacts, good note taking and quick follow-up. Match trade shows to their areas of expertise and interest to get the most out of connections. Ask current clients to speak up about what you’ve done for them. Have a list of existing clients that salespeople must get to know. Assign salespeople customer support duties and let them take credit for being heroes and heroines when customers’ problems get solved. Those connections will be invaluable when the salesperson circles back to ask for referrals to other prospects. And you can find out how well the salesperson is doing by connecting with your customers to follow-up. Line up a list of functions where your prospects gather. That might be Rotary, Chamber meetings, interna-
tional clubs. Find out where your customers hang out and that’s probably where prospects are as well. Tell salespeople to attend regularly. Set up routine follow-up tools, including emails, call scripts to request appointments and methods to document opportunities and progress. Build a way to oversee activity. Watch that your salespeople don’t get bogged down with a few key prospects and ignore the potential to build depth into their pipeline as they start to make contacts. Set goals for daily, weekly and monthly connections. One thing to add to the mix is two phone calls per day — anyone on a suspect list. Just make the calls and leave a message. Have a script to use and test for results.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER | By Paul Garza

f you own a vacation rental property or are considering purchasing a second home to earn supplemental short-term rental income, you may not realize that things will be more complicated when it comes to taxes. There are some critical steps you should take throughout the year. If you don’t plan ahead, you could be left scrambling and without important information necessary to file. If that makes you feel overwhelmed, you’re not alone. A recent survey conducted in conjunction with the release of a vacation rental tax guide found 44% of vacation homeowners have felt so overwhelmed preparing taxes they’ve requested an extension. There are answers to some commonly asked questions and tips you can follow to ensure you are taking the right steps all year long.
Three things to know about your vacation rental property taxes UNDERSTAND THE 14-DAY RULE
The amount you use your property will have an impact on how much you are able to write off. In the simplest terms, the 14-day rental rule means you don’t pay taxes on the income you receive from your shortterm rental if BOTH of the following are true: you rent out the property for less than 14 days; and you use the property for 14 days or more. If you rent the property out for more than 14 days and use it yourself for less than 14 days, taxes can become more complex, but you may be able to write off a good portion of your expenses. In this case, vacation home tax deductions vary by state, so make sure you are familiar with the rules and keep detailed records. You should keep a log of each day the property was in use and include a breakdown of vacation rental days, per-
sonal use days and days used for repairs and property maintenance. This will help the IRS determine whether the property is rented for more than 14 days per year, and thus, how much you are able to write off. It’s also important to know that donated stays are deemed as personal-use days, so they are not eligible for deduction nor can you receive a tax deduction for the value of the stay. However, if you rent your vacation home at market rate and donate the generated income to charity, you can deduct the business expenses and the charitable deduction. Tax deductions vary by state, but in all cases require a receipt for each expense deducted, so make sure you have a file, preferably digital, to keep track.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS
You must understand
what is and what is not eligible for deduction when it comes to home repairs. It’s not always clear, since all the work you do on your home is not weighed equally. While depreciation deductions can be intimidating and typically result in a tax loss on paper for vacation rental properties — even on properties that are generating income — they do lead to taxfree income. Don’t overlook them as you’re preparing your returns. According to the IRS, improvement expenses contribute to the restoration, adaptation or betterment of your property and are deducted over their useful lifetime rather than written off in full in the year of the expense. If you’re adding an extra room, upgrading a bathroom, installing a water feature, or improving the quality of the property with a new
security system, you’re making improvements. Contrast those improvements with fixing a broken staircase or replacing a broken window, which are considered repairs.
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHICH FORM TO USE
There are two forms that could be applicable to your rental: an IRS Schedule E and an IRS Schedule C. When considering which is the correct form, it’s easiest to think about the income being generated by the property. If the property is generating supplemental income, but isn’t necessarily a full-time gig, a Schedule E is likely the way to go. If it’s a primary business activity, Schedule C should be used to file vacation rental taxes. For either document, you’ll need to have a list of documented expenses, all 1099s filed reporting contractor payments, property usage schedule and gross

rental income. Following these tips can help alleviate major headaches when it comes to your taxes and possibly even help you determine your strategy for renting and maintaining your property. If it still seems like too much, consider a property management company. Having a property management company care for your vacation home has a multitude of benefits. A full-service vacation rental property manager won’t just clean and maintain your property. They’ll also handle the paperwork and logistics for the state sales and hotel taxes and give you the information you need for state income taxes on your rental.

ence room at the company’s 100 Clearbrook Road headquarters in Elmsford’s Cross Westchester Executive Park. Founded in 1957 by Robert F. Weinberg and Martin S. Berger, Greg’s father, the company grew to become a significant name in Westchester residential and commercial real estate. Martin (Marty) Berger passed away in 2011. Weinberg, who is president of the company, remains active and development-focused at age 90. “Bob’s supportive of everything, the partners and everything we do, and he’s still a visionary and we give him all the respect in the world,” Greg Berger said. Although focusing on single-family residential development early on, it soon moved into commercial real estate, sometimes in cooperation with other developers. For example, the Crossroads Shopping Plaza on Route 119 in Greenburgh was built in the late ’70s with the Heyman Organization, a shopping center operator in Connecticut. The company played a major role in urban renewal in White Plains, and Weinberg and Berger were publicly praised by the late White Plains Mayor Alfred Del Vecchio with helping to revitalize the city, not only by building their buildings but also contributing improvements to the city’s infrastructure. Not so welcome, however, was a $500 million development proposed in 1984 in conjunction with New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center for part of the hospital’s 234acre White Plains property, which would have included three 20-story office buildings, 2,300 apartments, a 500-room hotel, stores and more. Amid loud community opposition, the city’s Common Council rejected the idea. The Westchester Financial Center, which was completed by Robert Martin in 1986, to this day is praised for having injected new life into the city’s downtown. It now is owned by Ginsburg Development Companies and is being repositioned as "City Square." The company made headlines recently when it bought a portfolio of 56 buildings in Westchester, totaling 3.1 million square feet, from Mack-Cali. The $487.5 million transaction was said to represent the largest suburban real estate portfolio sale in the New York City area in more than 15 years. And if the properties seemed familiar to everyone at Robert Martin, that is because they were part of the package in 1997 when Robert Martin Company was acquired by Cali Realty Corporation in a $450 million transaction. “When we sold all those years ago, it was the right thing for us to do at the time and when we did so, most of us went to work for Mack-Cali,” Jones said. “In fact, Greg and I both went to work there and Greg was there for about three years and I was there for

about seven years.” Jones said that it was a period when there were questions about what the Robert Martin Company would continue to do. “Bob and Marty stayed here along with a much smaller staff and we focused more on the land portfolio than the existing assets, even though we still had investments in a couple of million square feet and were not the active managers at that point,” he said. “This portfolio that we just acquired is over half the market of the industrial space in the county, so for us it was a great opportunity,” Berger said. “It always stayed occupied. It’s probably never been below 90% occupied.”
The purchase included the Cross Westchester Executive Park in Elmsford, the Mid-Westchester Executive Park in Hawthorne and the South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers, along with the Stamford Executive Park in Connecticut. RMC Acquisition Entity LLC was the vehicle used and mortgage banking firm Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. worked on placing a floating-rate loan with Bank of America. “We coveted these properties. We would have been happy to buy them back almost at any time, particularly the parks,” Jones said. “Even though they were built in the ’70s and ’80s, most of the buildings are single-story industrial and flex buildings. That single-story space in this land-constrained market just doesn’t become obsolete, and there’s a real demand for it today.” Jones said that while most people associate the company with Westchester, it also is active in Connecticut. He said that there are about 300,000 square feet spread among five buildings in the Stamford park. “We actually also have an investment in another flex park in Stratford and land in Stratford as well. In Connecticut, we have about a million square feet that we’re involved with, not only in Fairfield » ROBERT MARTIN

County, but also up the line in Hartford County as well. The buildings in Stamford probably have the most repositioning or development potential of any buildings in the portfolio today,” Jones said. Berger explained that building the company’s portfolio and activities has coincided with increasing the company’s staff. “We’ve doubled the size of our company so we have a good, strong platform,” he said. “We do everything here, sort of a one-stop-shop approach, and that’s the way Robert Martin was built, so if a tenant or a deal came in we could take it in from ‘A’ to ‘Z.’ ” Berger explained that as company leaders, “I oversee the operations,

management. We both get involved in construction. Tim is more involved in the finance and we both get very involved in the acquisition process as well and both take an equal role in overseeing our accounting department, but there are a lot of assets and a lot of people to oversee and we complement each other pretty well, I think.” “Bob and Marty ran the company with a very high standard of ethics and that’s continued,” Jones added. “We continue to try to treat our handshake as a contract.” “I think Bob and Marty’s reputations are really impeccable. Philanthropic, civic, community,” Berger said. “I think that’s transitioned to Tim and myself overseeing the company.” He said that as they went through the list of tenants at the executive parks acquired from Mack-Cali, they discovered that about 25% were holdovers from the time Robert Martin originally owned the properties. When asked how he defined the company today, Jones said that while it’s still primarily a real estate investment and development company, “We also make investments in other businesses. We are involved in about 6 million square feet of buildings, mostly in New York suburban markets, but in other markets as well: Florida and some other places in the Southeast. We’re the biggest Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees in the Carolinas.” They have 53 franchises with 12 under contract. Jones said they had been involved in the electricity marketing business with a company which would buy power wholesale and sell it retail. ”Ultimately, the company was in 14 states and had revenues of about $300 million,” he said. “It was a very competitive niche business that started because of deregulation.” Jones said they built up the business and sold it to a competitor. “We’re still predominantly a real estate company,” he said. “We have what we call full-service, in-house construction, planning, architectural planning,

REAL ESTATE development approval, then property management and leasing.” Jones pointed out that with the Dunkin’ Donuts franchises, “We do own some of the real estate and there are complementary skills with Dunkin’ Donuts for site selection and development of the buildings, but we really did it because it’s a cash flow business as opposed to a capital business, so it balances well for us.” He explained that the returns that you get from a fastfood business can be higher, but you don’t have the long-term asset creation you do

tle more tender loving care than they’ve received. We’ll have eight figures of capital improvements we’ll make to the buildings, most of which you won’t see from the street: roofs, some HVAC, parking lots and things like that,” Jones said. “We’re still looking for other acquisitions that we hope to make,” Berger said. “Nothing is imminent, but we’re going to continue to be active.” He said they have

We can do more industrial and we’re talking to a couple of industrial and operating-type users. We have on White Plains Road a site. It’s an office building today. Our expectation is to reposition it into a mixed-use health club/self-storage
building. We have a site in downtown White Plains which could accommodate a motel at some point, on Bank Street, just about a block from the train station.” Even though the company owns about 6 million square feet, Berger and Jones see it as a family business that happens to have a powerhouse portfolio. “We’ll be disappointed if they didn’t say ‘they kept it going the way they should have,’’’ Jones said.

Westmed Medical Group recently held a Summer Safety “MedTalk” open to patients, parents and their children. At the event, Westmed pediatric physicians Drs. Sara Kopple and Daniel Mohrer educated patients on best practices for water safety and drowning prevention as well as bicycle and firework safety. Dr. Peter Acker joined the families to introduce the new AAP guidelines for sunscreen, bug repel-
lent and ticks. Westmed also welcomed special guests, the Pfeffer family, who shared their experience with childhood drowning. The Pfeffer family mom Dr. Heather Landau and dad, Daniel Pfeffer, lost their daughter, Saige, to drowning in September 2015. This Westchester family’s 11-year-old twins, Samantha and Harley, are taking the lead to educate at-risk families (fami-
lies with children under the age of 5) and spread awareness about the importance of water safety. Their goal is to distribute 2,000 Water Guardian Lanyards to Westchester families, in the hope that this initiative will remind adults that drowning does not only happen during “swim time” and that any time young children have access to water, multiple layers of safety are required.
PACE UNIVERSITY MEDIA CLASS PREMIERES DOCUMENTARY Students in Pace University’s media, communications and visual arts (MCVA) department in Pleasantville premiered their latest documentary on the aftermath of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano earlier this month at the Jacob Burns Film Center. “Living on the Edge in Paradise” was the result of work by a team of 20 students and two professors who traveled to Hilo, Hawaii, March 17-23 to conduct interviews and capture footage for the documentary. The film highlights the stories of those affected by the eruptions of Kilauea and the Hawaiian culture’s relationship with volcanoes. Pace University President Marvin Krislov said, “This is Pace University at its finest, doing what we do best: giving students a real-world, hands-on education with the tools they need to jump into the careers of their choice.’’
