Woodhaven Eyesore Scheduled to be Demolished: Holden

By Michael V. Cusenza Good news for Woodhaven residents: A long-standing Jamaica Avenue eyesore is set to be demolished, Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village) announced Friday.

Holden noted that he has been informed by the City Department of Housing Preservation & Development “that a contract to demolish the derelict building at 78-19 Jamaica Ave. in Woodhaven has been reg-

istered by the comptroller. This eyesore has plagued my neighbors in Woodhaven too long. I’m proud my office played a role in getting rid of it.”

Indeed, The Forum has chronicled for years the negative impact the zombie edifice has had on the surrounding community. The building partially collapsed back on April 12, 2013, when the second-story façade caved in and spilled rubble all over 79th street, destroying a parked car nearby.

No one was injured, but some properties

around the building were severely damaged. Next door, the Woodhaven-Richmond Hill Volunteer Ambulance Corps suffered severe damages as a consequence of the collapse. That group, along with the Catholic Charities Woodhaven-Richmond Hill Senior Center, was forced to relocate to the nearby American Legion Post 118 building in the midst of intense financial battles with insurance companies.

Back in 2014, the City Buildings Department declared the building hazardous

and in need of demolition.

That same year, The Forum called on the City to demolish the derelict property.

“Please, DOB, do not let the owner win.

Do not let laziness or the apathy of city employees sitting in their Manhattan office win.

Let the people of Woodhaven win.

Tear down this building,” the paper’s editorial board wrote.

Woodhaven Father Indicted in Death of Infant Son

Baby Mason was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, but he died three days later.

By Forum Staff A Woodhaven father has been indicted by a borough grand jury in the death of his infant son inside the family’s 88th Street residence in August 2019, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Thursday.

Luis Sanchez, 30, has been arraigned on a two-count indictment charging him with manslaughter in the first degree and

endangering the welfare of a child. He was ordered to return to court on Aug. 2.

According to the charges, on Aug. 16, 2019, at approximately 12:20 p.m., after receiving a 911 call, emergency responders arrived at the family’s home and discovered the unresponsive body of a 7-week-old baby boy named Mason. The infant’s lips were blue and he was not breathing.

Katz said the medical technicians rushed the baby to Jamaica Hospital Medi-

cal Center, but he died three days later.

An autopsy performed on the boy showed he had sustained extensive retinal and subdural hemorrhages in addition to having several rib fractures that were at various stages of healing.

According to the charges, doctors determined that the infant’s injuries were consistent with abusive head trauma, including violent shaking. The medical examiner further confirmed these findings in the au-

topsy which indicated that the baby’s cause of death was abusive head trauma.

“A baby was left in his father’s care, where he should have been safe from harm.

Instead, the baby died of injuries consistent with abusive head trauma caused by violent repetitive shaking, and the defendant is in custody facing serious criminal charges,” Katz said.

If convicted, Sanchez faces up to 15 years in prison.

A bill that would increase the standard of materials placed into Jamaica Bay’s borrow pits has passed both the Assembly and the Senate.

By Michael V. Cusenza A bill that would increase the standard of materials placed into Jamaica Bay’s borrow pits has passed both the Assembly and the Senate, Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato and State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (both D-Howard Beach), who sponsored the piece of legislation in the Assembly and Senate, announced Tuesday.

The bill would alter the criteria for filling the Jamaica Bay borrow pits in order to comply with criteria set by the federal government for ocean dumping, Pheffer Amato noted.

“The priority and necessity of this bill is clear—my colleagues in the Assembly and the Senate see the value of this bill, and the importance of protecting our environment.

Both houses have passed this bill for three sessions in a row, only for Gov. Cuomo to veto it. It’s more important than ever to invest in Jamaica Bay and ensure that our standards are up to the highest standards, and we can never turn back. I want to thank

Sen. Addabbo for his partnership on this legislation, and to the Jamaica Bay Ecowatchers and numerous civic leaders and organizations for their advocacy,” Pheffer Amato said.

“In recent years, Jamaica Bay has seen a resurgence of marine wildlife due to cleaner and healthier waters. However, our efforts to protect the bay is not over,” Addabbo said. “Bill S.2205/A.453 seeks to further protect Jamaica Bay by strengthening the protections of the bay’s waters with stricter restrictions on what kind of materials are allowed to be used to fill the borrow pits.

We hope to see this bill pass so future generations can benefit from this vital waterway. I want to thank the Jamaica Bay Ecowatchers and community leaders for working on this issue and Assemblywoman Pheffer Amato for sponsoring this bill successfully in the Assembly. We hope Gov. Cuomo will sign this important bill into law.”

It is worth noting that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has vetoed this same bill in the past three consecutive legislative sessions.

THE FORUM NEWSGROUP • VOL. 21 • Number 23 • JUNE 17, 2021 | 3

EDITORIAL Unbelievable It is difficult to find benefit from the ongoing pandemic we face, but one undeniable advantage is that we now have heightened awareness on a number of fronts. One of the most important of those fronts is how much worse a frightening and horrible situation can become under poor leadership.

On Tuesday, June 22, voters will head out to their respective polling sites to choose the candidates they want to represent them in the general election in November. This year it is easy to view the slates for the mayoral, City Council, and comptroller races as more of a cast of characters than as potential leaders. The reason for this view, we feel, lies in the fact that so many of the “candidates” are so ill-suited for the positions they are seeking, or for any public office at all, for that matter.

The Forum has always held fast to the opinion that local politics is the most important building block in a fundamentally successful community. That is our focus here.

Communities involved in the race for the 32nd Council District have a distinct advantage over voters in many other districts. They have a clear-cut choice: Joann Ariola.

She is a candidate that has proven not to draw detrimental party lines around issues which concern voters of mixed political party affiliations in her capacity as leader of the Howard Beach Lindenwood Civic, a community activist, and as chairwoman of the Queens GOP. With more than three decades of profes-

sional, governmental and administrative experience, and an indisputable track record of accomplishments, Ariola checks every qualification box.

What she’s done isn’t the only important factor when considering her as your choice to lead South Queens in the City Council; who she is perhaps weighs more heavily. A tireless advocate for community causes. A masterful negotiator and a peacemaking ambassador. She picks her battles expertly and navigates with commitment and caution. Very simply, Ariola will do the job—whatever it takes.

We’ve always believed it was better to express our opinion on why someone is a good fit instead of letting you know why we think someone is no fit at all. But relying on the old adage that “there are exceptions to every rule” and avoiding the one that advises “if you have nothing good to say…” there is a glaring exception in this case that must be stated.

Ariola’s challenger in the Republican primary is Steve Sirgiovanni. The reason we mention him is not because he represents a challenge, but because it’s important to recognize what in fact he does represent.

In the opinion of this newspaper, Mr. Sirgiovanni insulted the voters in the 32nd when he took his notion of candidacy beyond an initial and fleeting consideration over morning coffee alone in his kitchen.

If it’s not obvious that we don’t believe in Steve, please let us look closer at the tip

of this iceberg. The prime responsibility of a seated councilmember is to aid constituents in their interactions with City agencies. One of the most crucial services a councilmember can deliver to their constituency, homeowners and business owners alike, is their ability to help navigate effectively through the complex, often torturous agency requirements, red tape and archaic guidelines that illustrate most encounters with the Buildings Department, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Transportation, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and others—in order to solve problems that seriously interfere with quality of life as well as economic sustainability.

Mr. Sirgiovanni is one of the owners of record of a building located at 161-49 Cross Bay Blvd. which formerly housed the Empire Buffet. Recently, the back of the building collapsed and crumbled into the canal. Sirgiovanni erected insufficient construction fencing undoubtedly in violation of proper codes and continues to operate without all necessary permitting. An unsupervised child would not be at all challenged were they to attempt gaining entrance to the derelict site.

We hope that it has become abundantly clear as to the magnitude of insult to which we are referring. Why would a guy who obviously can’t keep his own “house” in order try to convince thousands of voters in the district to trust him with theirs?

Whenever we have to take someone to task it seems we never have to use our own words to bring the message home. So we’ll regale you with a little tidbit from the past where Steve Sirgiovanni reveals, in his own words, why he does not belong in this race or any part of the political arena that is truly for the people.

Years ago, when Sirgiovanni was leasing the building to the Empire Buffet, The Forum received many complaints about the restaurant staff throwing raw food garbage into the parking area after closing. It created a severe problem by bringing a plentiful supply of food for rats. When the newspaper spoke with management at the restaurant and could not get them to agree to stop the practice, we reached out for Sirgiovanni to speak with his tenants; his reply doesn’t speak for itself, it speaks for him: “I don’t want to rock the boat ’ya know. They pay their rent on time.”

This district, every district in this city, needs to be aware that their voice in the council is the one that will be their first responder and virtually the only line of defense if City Hall or Borough Hall imposes constraints on our communities with which we do not wish to live.

The City Council is not an “every man for himself” job, Mr. Sirgiovanni. This time it’s a job for a woman who has never put herself before the good of the community. And we are certain she never will.

Vote in your best interest folks. Vote Joann Ariola next Tuesday and again in November.

Presented by Frank Pantina, R.Ph

MEDS FOR YOUR PET: DON’T JUST HAND THEM OUT...

People always come into the pharmacy asking questions about giving animals over the counter (OTC) people meds.

No one wants to see their beloved pet suffer, but we need know that giving them NSAIDs or acetaminophen (Tylenol and other brands, which are not NSAIDs) out of our medicine cabinets may not be safe for dogs or cats, and doses vary widely.

Some OTC human pain relievers can be toxic–even deadly–in pets. Never give your animal something you take unless speaking with your vet first.

Similarly, pet owners shouldn’t assume that a medicine good for one animal is necessarily safe for another.

Rule number 1 - Communicate with your vet.

Before giving your animal an NSAID: – Make sure you know what the medication is being prescribed for, how much to give and how long to give it.

– Discuss possible side effects and symptoms, especially those that require an immediate call to the vet.

– Tell your veterinarian if the pet has a history of gastrointestinal problems, such as stomach ulcers, or surgery on the stomach or

intestines.

– Tell your veterinarian if your pet is on any other medications or supplements.

If your pet is on medication, make sure you ask your vet these questions: – Why is my pet on this medication and how long do I need to give it?

– How do I give the medication to my pet?

Should it be given with food?

– How often should the medication be given and how much should I give each time?

If it is a liquid, should I shake it first?

– How do I store the medication?

– What should I do if my pet vomits or spits out the medication?

– If I forget to give the medication, should I give it as soon as I remember?

– What if I accidently give too much?

– Should I finish all of the medication?

– Could this medication interact with others?

– What reactions should I watch for?

– When do we comeback?

– Will you be calling me to check on my pet’s progress, or should I call you?

If you follow these simple rules, you and you best friend should enjoy a long healthy life together.

For your family’s prescription needs, please call

Two new exit ramps at the ever-congested Kew Gardens Interchange have been completed.

By Forum Staff Two new exit ramps at the Kew Gardens Interchange that will enhance safety and reduce congestion along the heavily traveled commuter corridor have been completed, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday.

The new ramps were constructed as part of the State Department of Transportation’s ongoing $365 million Kew Gardens Interchange Phase 4 project.

The new eastbound Grand Central Parkway Exit 13W ramp creates a new, easier-tonavigate traffic pattern for motorists wanting to access westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway and reduces back-ups for motorists heading to the John F. Kennedy International Airport and other destinations. The new southbound Van Wyck Expressway Exit 7 ramp provides access to westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway, westbound Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard.

The new Exit 13W ramp removed a notorious bottleneck that had existed because motorists on the eastbound Grand Central Parkway had to access the westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway via a ramp that was in close proximity to the ramp connecting the Grand Central Parkway to JFK Airport and the southbound Van Wyck Expressway. Under the new traffic pattern, the Exit 13W ramp has been relocated from the right side of the parkway to the left and moved approximately a quarter mile east of its previous location. Motorists wanting to access westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway from eastbound Grand Central Parkway will now remain in the left lane as the old Exit 13W ramp is closed. The relocation of the Exit 13W ramp and the elimination of a stop sign where eastbound Grand Central Parkway

merged with westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway will significantly enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion.

The new Exit 7 ramp on the southbound Van Wyck Expressway creates a new traffic pattern by providing access to westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway via Exit 7A, westbound Union Turnpike via Exit 7B, and Queens Boulevard via Exit 7C. Exit 6 will no longer be the detour for westbound Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard, and the former Exit 8 for westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway will be closed. The new exit 7 Ramp improves access to major roadways and also allows motorists to more safely access local roadways, including Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard. The new exit provides standard lane widths and shoulders.

“We are not only rebuilding our infrastructure across New York, but building it back better and creating a twenty-first-century transportation network that will allow our economy to flourish,” Cuomo said. “These new ramps along with other improvements we are making as part of the Kew Gardens Interchange project will enhance safety and ease travel through one of the most complex and heavily traveled corridors in New York City, keeping people and goods on the move for many years to come.”

The Kew Gardens Interchange is the complex intersection of the Grand Central Parkway, the Van Wyck Expressway, the Jackie Robinson Parkway and Union Turnpike, serving over 200,000 vehicles daily.

“The strength of our economy and the well-being of our neighborhoods depend in no small measure on a safe and reliable transportation network,” State DOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez added.

Stars and Stripes and Howard Beach

Prima Pasta & Café last Saturday hosted a special Flag Day event. During the momentous gathering, Howard Beach Lindenwood Civic President Joann Ariola formally named Eddie Earl the new “Flagman of Howard Beach.”

The title was formerly held by long-time Howard Beach resident Dominick Papa who would replace torn and tattered flags throughout the community with Stars and Stripes that he would collect from families of fallen veterans. As Papa grew older and unable to continue his efforts, his one wish was that his family find someone in Howard Beach who loved Old Glory as much as he

did. After Papa’s passing, his family chose Eddie Earl.

Earl has been beautifying the South Queens community from Memorial Day through Labor Day for the past two summers by hanging flags on the poles of the side streets and thoroughfares of Howard Beach. “Most of us remember Dominick Papa, who was the Flagman, but Eddie you have filled his shoes. He is in heaven looking down, very proud of you,” Ariola (from l., with Eddie Earl and State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr.) proclaimed as she awarded Earl with a flag memento on behalf of Papa’s family.

Child Water Safety Bill Heads to Cuomo’s Desk for Final Consideration

Photo Courtesy of Sen. Addabbo’s Office

“One drowning death is one too many, particularly when research shows swimming lessons help to significantly reduce the likelihood of drowning,” Sen. Addabbo said.

By Forum Staff Legislation to create a temporary “Commission to Prevent Childhood Drowning” and improve water safety has passed both houses of the State Legislature, State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach), one of the bill’s co-sponsors, announced Thursday.

“One drowning death is one too many, particularly when research shows swim-

ming lessons help to significantly reduce the likelihood of drowning,” said Addabbo.

“This legislation would increase access to swim training programs to help alleviate unnecessary tragedies due to drowning in our communities, especially in areas where water is most accessible, such as our popular Rockaway beaches.”

Approximately one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger. For every child who dies from

Rockaway Beach

drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries. More than 50 percent of drowning victims treated in emergency departments require hospitalization or transfer for further care. These nonfatal drowning injuries can cause severe brain damage that may result in long-term disabilities such as memory problems, learning disabilities, and permanent loss of basic functioning.

“Living in Queens, we are all familiar

with how dangerous water, whether it is the beach or swimming pools, can be especially if one isn’t taught basic swim safety skills,” Addabbo added. “As we approach the summer season, making instruction accessible to all residents needs to be a priority so that individuals and families can safely cool off while enjoying much-needed time outdoors.”

The next stop for the bill is Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk for final consideration.

State’s COVID-19 Restrictions Lifted Across Commercial Settings

By Forum Staff COVID-19 restrictions are lifted immediately as 70 percent of New Yorkers aged 18 or older have received the first dose of their vaccination series, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday.

The State’s health guidance and New York Forward industry specific guidelines—including social gathering limits, capacity restrictions, social distancing, cleaning and disinfection, health screening, and contact information for tracing—are now optional for retail, food services, offices, gyms and fitness centers, amusement and family entertainment, hair salons, barber shops and personal care services, among other commercial settings.

Unvaccinated individuals continue to be responsible for wearing masks, in accordance with federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. Consistent with the State’s implementation of the recent CDC guidance, masks are still required for unvaccinated individuals. Further, the State’s health guidelines continue to be in effect for large-scale indoor event venues, pre-K to grade 12 schools, public transit, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, nursing homes, and health care settings per CDC guidelines.

The State’s COVID restrictions remain in effect for large-scale indoor event ven-

“What New York has done is extraordinary. Not only do we have the lowest COVID positivity rate in the United States of America, we have hit 70 percent vaccination ahead of schedule. We successfully deployed the weapon that will win the war, and New York led the nation,” Gov. Cuomo said.

ues—now defined as indoor venues that hold more than 5,000 attendees. Consistent with the State’s implementation of the CDC guidelines, proof of vaccination can be used to eliminate social distancing and remove masks for fully vaccinated individuals. Unvaccinated or unknown vaccination status individuals who are over the age of four must continue to present proof of a recent negative diagnostic COVID-19 test

result and wear masks within the venue.

However, social distancing can be reduced or eliminated between tested attendees, allowing venues to reach 100 percent capacity in all sections.

As of today, over 70 percent of adult New Yorkers have received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and the rate of new COVID-19 cases has plummeted to the lowest levels in the nation. Given New York’s

progress and the diminished risk of COVID-19 within the community, the State is lifting COVID-19 restrictions effective immediately, except for the mask requirement for unvaccinated individuals and in certain settings (e.g., large-scale indoor event venues, pre-K to grade 12 schools, public transit, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, nursing homes and health care settings per CDC guidance). While New York Forward industry reopening guidance is no longer mandatory for most industries, these documents will be archived and made available as a public reference.

“What New York has done is extraordinary. Not only do we have the lowest COVID positivity rate in the United States of America, we have hit 70 percent vaccination ahead of schedule. We successfully deployed the weapon that will win the war, and New York led the nation,” Cuomo said. “We led with Nurse Sandra Lindsay, who was the first at Northwell to take that vaccine and to assure people it was safe.

We’ve gone on to do more than 20 million vaccines, more per capita than any big state in the United States of America. Congratulations to New Yorkers because they are the ones who did it. We’re no longer just surviving—we’re thriving. The State mandates that have proven right and brought us through this pandemic are relaxed as of today, effective immediately.”

Borough Transportation and Infrastructure Projects Tied to INVEST in America Act

By Forum Staff Congresswoman Grace Meng (DFlushing) has helped secure nearly $20 million in a key transportation and infrastructure bill to upgrade the Forest Hills Long Island Rail Road station, create vehicle charging stations in Flushing and Bayside, and replace medians in Oakland Gardens that are in need of repair.

The funding was included in the INVEST in America Act, a five-year, $547 billion surface transportation reauthorization bill. The measure has been passed by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. It is then expected to soon be passed by the full House of Representatives.

Under the project for the Forest Hills LIRR station, $16,910,000 would be used to address repair needs including the replacement of deteriorated platforms. The project would also provide those with disabilities full access to the station, making it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. These accessibility improvements include new elevators and an extension of the platform length to 12 cars, along with other station upgrades. The Forest Hills LIRR station is located at 71st Avenue and Austin Street.

Funding for the vehicle charging sta-

tions includes $734,400 for a Level 2 Electric Charging Network in New York City Department of Transportation Municipal Parking Facilities. Specifically, the money would be used to install electric vehicle charging stations in three municipal parking lots: Flushing #2 Parking field at 135-23 39th Avenue in Flushing Flushing #4 Parking field at 134 North-

ern Boulevard in Flushing Bayside Parking field at 214-32 41st Avenue in Bayside The level 2 chargers provide about 7kW of power per hour. This would add about 25 miles of range to a typical sedan for each hour it is plugged in.

Under the median restoration initiative in Oakland Gardens, $2,355,200 would be provided to restore the center medians on

Union Turnpike from Hollis Court Boulevard to 226th Street to a state of good repair. The current medians are in disrepair and need to be reconstructed. The project will also make accessibility and geometric improvements where needed.

“Queens must not be forgotten about as we invest in our infrastructure,” Meng said. “Restoring and expanding our borough’s transportation system is critical to meeting the growing needs of Queens, and these projects would improve the safety of local residents while making it easier and more convenient to travel. They would also strengthen economic growth, save money, and enhance quality of life for many constituents. I’m thrilled that I was able to secure funding for these crucial initiatives in the INVEST in America Act, and I look forward to the legislation being approved by the House in the coming weeks.”

This spring, the T&I Committee provided the opportunity for members of Congress to submit highway or transit project requests for their districts in the surface transportation reauthorization bill. This process allowed those members of Congress to work with local governments, transit agencies, or state departments of transportation to identify and put forward high-impact local infrastructure projects.

Erik Chimborazo, 22, was arraigned Monday morning on a complaint charging him with manslaughter in the second degree, assault in the second degree, vehicular manslaughter in the second degree, criminally negligent homicide, operating a motor

vehicle while under influence of alcohol or drugs, operation motor vehicle while under influence of alcohol, registration of motor vehicles; fees; renewals, issuance, number, location and condition of vehicle plates, driving by unlicensed operator. Bail was set at $10,000 cash or bond. Bail was posted and Chimborazo was released from Rikers Island on Tuesday.

Chimborazo has been ordered to return to court on Thursday, June 17.

According to the charges, on June 13, between 3:45 a.m. and 4:15 a.m., Chimborazo, who was driving a Black Ford Explorer at a high rate of speed eastbound on Eliot Av-

enue. Chimborazo ran a steady red light and slammed into a Toyota Rav 4, driven by Hossain Mohammed, 47. Mohammed was travelling south on Fresh Pond Road and had the green light.

The victim, an immigrant from Bangladesh, was immediately transported to Wyckoff Hospital where he was later pronounced dead as a result of his injuries. A passenger, seated in the rear of the victim’s vehicle, was removed to a local Queens hospital where he underwent treatment for a broken femur as a result of the collision.

According to the charges, Chimborazo was also taken to a local Queens hospital where a portable breath test was administered and later indicated that his blood-alcohol contact was .16 – which is above the legal limit of .08 in New York City.

A search of the motor vehicles database indicated that Chimborazo does not possess

a New York State Drivers’ License and that the plate number of the Black Ford SUV does not have a valid registration. The plate number does not belong to the SUV and has a different VIN number that does not match the aforementioned vehicle.

“The rules of the road exist to save lives.

As alleged, this defendant ignored them and made selfish, illegal decisions from the moment he got behind the wheel of the car, with tragic results,” Katz said.

“The defendant allegedly drove without a license and without registration, at an unlawfully high speed and twice the legal blood alcohol limit, through a red light. Now, a hardworking family man is dead, his widow, children and community are in mourning and the defendant faces justice in the courts.”

If convicted, Chimborazo faces up to 15 years in prison.

Five Charged in Massive COVID Fraud Scheme

By Forum Staff Five people, including current and former employees of JetBlue, have been charged with stealing emergency relief funds earmarked for small businesses suffering economic effects of the pandemic, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.

Orlando Sanay, 39; Keimi Nunez and his twin brother Keily Nunez, 41; Michael Pimentel Veloz, 40; and Fanny Plasencia, 20, have been charged with wire fraud in connection with false statements they allegedly made to obtain loans pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, which provides qualifying small businesses with low-interest loans. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act expanded EIDL to provide economic support to help offset the temporary loss of revenue experienced by businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As alleged in the complaint, between April 2020 and August 2020, the defendants applied for EIDL loans for eight separate entities. In those applications, the defendants falsely represented the number of employees associated with the entities and misstated the gross revenues for the entities

Keimi Nunez’s Woodhaven residence.

for the 12 months prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, Sanay submitted a loan application to the Small Business Association in July 2020 claiming that he was the owner and chief executive officer of Sanay Venture Capital LLC. In the application, Sanay falsely claimed that SVC had 26 employees, gross revenues of $839,000 and cost of goods sold of $560,000 for the relevant period. Sanay and Keimi Nunez, who lives in Woodhaven, submitted the application from the IP address of their employer,

JetBlue Airways, to the SBA’s online portal. The SBA approved SVC’s application and on August 4, 2020 wired $139,400 to Sanay’s personal bank account. In contrast to the claims made in the application, New York Department of Labor records showed that SVC has never reported having any employees. Internal Revenue Service records further reveal that SVC has never filed a tax return since its formation in 2014. There is no evidence to date that the EIDL funds provided to SVC were used for

business purposes. Keily Nunez, a Jamaica resident, is no longer employed by JetBlue.

Based on these false representations, the Small Business Administration approved more than $1 million in loans that were deposited into the defendants’ bank accounts.

In addition to making false statements to obtain the loans, the defendants did not use the relief funding for ongoing business expenses as the EIDL program requires.

Instead, they withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash from bank accounts that had received EIDL loan funds.

“As alleged, the defendants brazenly lied and stole more than $1 million in taxpayer funds from a program designed to help small businesses and their employees who were struggling to stay afloat and make ends meet during the pandemic,” said Acting Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Mark Lesko.

“This is a team of fraudsters who didn’t just skim from a government agency, but stole much needed relief from the hands of those who depended on it most,” added Homeland Security Investigations NY Special Agent-in-Charge Peter Fitzhugh.

If convicted, the defendants each face up to 20 years’ imprisonment.
