NEW REQUEST UNDER THE
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW (“FOIL”)
VIA U.S. MAIL and E-MAIL:
bkenney@orangetown.com
Monday, April 29, 2024
Brian Kenney, Town Assessor
Town of Orangetown
Orangetown Town Hall
26 West Orangeburg Road
Orangeburg, NY 10962 USA
Re:
FOIL Request - Regarding “447-477 Piermont Avenue, Piermont, New York, 10968 USA”
Dear Mr. Kenney:
As you are already aware, I
am an attorney in New York, and a citizen and resident of the Town of
Orangetown and the County of Rockland. Under the New York State Freedom of
Information Law:
http://www.dos.ny.gov/coog/foil2.html
and, as may be applicable, its state, federal, and other counterparts, including without limitation New York Public Officers Law, Article 6, Sections 84-90, and Title 5 of the United States Code, Section 552 (collectively herein referred to as “FOIL”), request is hereby made that provide to this, my law office, full and complete copies of each and every document and other item of material (collectively, “Records”) which may be at all responsive to the following requests:
1. 447-477 Piermont
Avenue, Piermont, New York, 10968 USA. All Records relating to that
certain real property located at 447-477 Piermont Avenue, Piermont, New York,
10968 USA [Tax Assessment Map of the Village of Piermont Section 75.55, Block
1, Lots 14.1 and 14.2, and Lot 13, apparently “in the CB §61.6 C zone”], and without
limitation to the foregoing, any tax issue or tax matter which may be
related thereto. My understanding is that the reason for the hyphenated “447-477”
address, is the fact that this location is comprised of three or four smaller
plots which were deliberately-combined fairly recently and as I understand it, may
be intended to be re-mapped and re-zoned for the purpose of development
activity by the below-described “LLC”.
Therefore, your search and
response should cover, at minimum, each of the following addresses or
sub-addresses:
- 447-477
Piermont Avenue, Piermont, New York, 10968 USA.
- 447 Piermont Avenue, Piermont, New York, 10968 USA.
- 475 Piermont Avenue, Piermont, New York, 10968 USA.
- 477 Piermont Avenue, Piermont, New York, 10968 USA.
The subject location and each
and all of the above addresses are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Site”.
3. Tax Matters.
Without limitation to the foregoing, I am seeking any and all Records which could
possibly indicate any of the following, if and to the extent at all occurring:
-Any assessments.
-Any appraisals.
-Any analyses.
-Any payments.
-Any collections.
-Any demands.
-Any deficiencies.
-Any defaults.
-Any arrears or arrearages.
-Any warrants.
-Any foreclosures.
-Any forbearances.
-Any proceedings.
-Any notices or notifications.
-Any correspondence.
-Any documents or materials of any other kind relating to the Site.
3. Health And
Environmental Matters. Without limitation to the foregoing, I am in
addition seeking any and all Records which could possibly indicate any past or
present health or environmental problem, issue, or other matter as relating to
the Site, such as sewage, emissions, run-off, drainage, stormwater, gasoline,
petroleum, BTX, carcinogens, underground tanks, “phantom tanks”, remediations, spills,
clean-ups, permitting, soil testing, test results, soil contamination, air
quality, water quality, water table, radioactivity, flooding, threats to
protected watersheds, and threats to endangered species – in addition to any
matter that could possibly end up in Tax Assessor jurisdiction.
4. “Piermont Developers
Limited Liability Company”, and “Piermont Developers, LLC”. Additionally
and without limitation to the foregoing, I am seeking all Records relating to any
developer and developer entity threatening to build over and on top of this
potentially-toxic Site:
https://cms9files1.revize.com/piermont/document_center/Department/Planning%20&%20Zoning%20Board/Planning%20Board/Plan_Board_Documents/2022/5-9-22/Piermont%20Developers%20LLC%20Package.pdf
The developer entity as identified to the people of the Village of Piermont is known as “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company” alias “Piermont Developers, LLC”, a New Jersey LLC whose status was revoked for seven (7) years or more by the State of New Jersey for failing to file and pay its Annual Reports (the “LLC”).
5. Gerard M. (Jerry)
Polidoro. Additionally and without limitation to the foregoing, I am
seeking all Records relating to the last-known Manager, Member, and Managing
Member of “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company” of which I am
currently aware, and who was the only individual on-record with the New Jersey
Secretary of State as owning the LLC at the time that the LLC filed its
November 9, 2021 Zoning Petition with Piermont Village government relating to
the proposed development – that is, one Gerard M. (Jerry) Polidoro, an
individual who was slammed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP) about a decade ago for failing to remediate a (different)
toxic gasoline station site in Bergenfield, New Jersey:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2024/04/flashback-to-2015-polidoro-properties.html
Mr. Polidoro is also apparently referred to by the following alternate names, according to public-record sources including the Internet:
- Gerard
M. Polidoro.
- “Gerard Polidoro”.
- “Jerry Polidoro”.
- “Gerald Pollidoro”[sic].
- “Gerard D[sic] Polidoro”.
- “Gerard M Polido[sic]”.
While a recent communication
from a representative of Village of Piermont government indicates that there may
be a second owner of the LLC, to date the Village of Piermont government appears
to be trying to conceal the identities of any LLC owner or owners.
Additionally, while a “Frank
DeCarlo” of Cresskill, New Jersey has been suggested by some to be a developer
bearing a connection to the subject project, Mr. DeCarlo actually appears to be
primarily a general contractor or other form of contractor:

6. Other Jerry Polidoro
Addresses. For your convenience of reference while searching, other
public-record information indicates that Gerard M. Polidoro, the last-known
record owner of the LLC of which I am aware, has been associated with the
following eighteen (18) different addresses over the past several decades:

has been associated in public-record documents. Approximate year-dates in which
these entities were created or otherwise existed are indicated in parentheses

8. The Deed, And A Map.
For your convenience of reference while searching, according to a Deed for a
component portion of the 447-477 Piermont Avenue property, the recent buyers
and current owners of that portion of the property identified as “475 Piermont
Avenue” appear to be the same “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company” alias
“Piermont Developers, LLC”, and Gerard M. (Jerry) Polidoro:

A map of 475 Piermont Avenue can be found here:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/475-Piermont-Ave-Piermont-NY-10968/102074354_zpid/
9. Time-Frame. I
am researching this property back to a time-frame pre-dating the 1940s. I am therefore
requesting the production of any and all Records from Year 1940 forward. At
least a portion of the Site was a Sunoco Gasoline Station in the 1940s:

Piermont, New York Government: You Can't Tell The Players Without A Scorecard. (Act I, Scene 1).
Today let's talk about those individual local and public official figures including Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeal members and staff that purport to run your Village of Piermont, New York government. You will notice that comparatively few photos of these Piermont public officials are actually posted to the Village of Piermont public governmental Internet website page:
https://piermont-ny.gov/
Sure, you will find a few photos of these Piermont NY public officials here:
https://piermont-ny.gov/services/directory.php
But good luck finding photos of most of the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeal members on the Village of Piermont governmental website, for example.
So, why does the government of the Village of Piermont elect to refrain from posting the photos of so many of these public officials to the Village's Internet website? Why do the individuals tolerate the Village government's purposeful decision to try to suppress these public officials into a state of collective anonymity? After all, a few of those same individual public officials nevertheless post over a hundred photos of themselves, publicly, on social media - and there's a word for that.
But seriously - why do these phantom
public officials fail to identify themselves recognizably through the aegis and
imprimatur of the Piermont governmental website – you know, the website bearing the Village of Piermont government seal that
Piermont residents actually pay for?
Hmmm...
In this regard, give some credit to Mayor Bruce Tucker. He unabashedly puts his photo out front, just as I would expect any ambitious politician to do. Or a front-man for a band, for that matter.
Yet your problem in the Village of Piermont, New York, is that your Village government, and especially its lugubrious "Boards", have to date been run like secret societies of the likes of the The Knights Templar or Yale University’s Skull and Bones.
And then it dawned on me. Why does that make even less sense here, in the context of the once-proud Village of Piermont? Well, it doesn't make sense here because your Village of Piermont is a relatively tiny little Village comprised of about 2,500 people. There should be nowhere for these small-minded Illuminati wannabes to hide.
Sayeth the people of Piermont - “Everybody knows each other here!”.
Or... DO they?
The fact is, virtually none of the homeowner residents of the Village whom I have thusfar canvassed have any clue who these Village of Piermont public officials are, with the possible exception of knowing that the Mayor's first name is Bruce and that he plays guitar.
Hmmm...
In this regard, give some credit to Mayor Bruce Tucker. He unabashedly puts his photo out front, just as I would expect any ambitious politician to do. Or a front-man for a band, for that matter.
Yet your problem in the Village of Piermont, New York, is that your Village government, and especially its lugubrious "Boards", have to date been run like secret societies of the likes of the The Knights Templar or Yale University’s Skull and Bones.
And then it dawned on me. Why does that make even less sense here, in the context of the once-proud Village of Piermont? Well, it doesn't make sense here because your Village of Piermont is a relatively tiny little Village comprised of about 2,500 people. There should be nowhere for these small-minded Illuminati wannabes to hide.
Sayeth the people of Piermont - “Everybody knows each other here!”.
Or... DO they?
The fact is, virtually none of the homeowner residents of the Village whom I have thusfar canvassed have any clue who these Village of Piermont public officials are, with the possible exception of knowing that the Mayor's first name is Bruce and that he plays guitar.
And that’s just crazy...
And that’s exactly your problem...
That’s
precisely why this disgraceful initiative to permanently install The Ugliest
Real Estate Development In The World at 447-477 Piermont Avenue ever happened to the Village of Piermont,
New York.
This proverbial train-wreck occurred for one main reason. The "public officials" of
Village of Piermont government studiously enabled Jersey-Boy “Piermont Developers
Limited Liability Company” to come in to trash your Village, while first making sure to cloak themselves in the process. While your Village is now being defiled and overrun, as we speak, these "public officials" hide like vampire bats in the darkness, save for a few encounters here and there with a few residents who make it to a few Village meetings.
Because of all that, it’s now Next Stop, Paramus.
Yet amazingly, you have probably walked by these same public officials in the Village of Piermont on numerous occasions. You probably did so even today. On the Pier. Around the Flywheel. Buying an ice cream cone. Grabbing a table at Otto's. Having no idea that these individual public officials, concealing themselves in the relative anonymity of an oft-faceless Village of Piermont Internet website, were the same exact people responsible for spreading their arms of welcome to “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company”. To build a 14-unit residential fetid abscess right smack in the middle of your picturesque and historic downtown. They hustled you. They walked right by you while they did it. And you didn’t even know who they were, even though most if not all of these public officials live in the Village of Piermont too.
Well that changes now.

How incongruous. Public figures trying not to be seen. SMH. Yet just because a public figure tries to hide out of the shame of their own individual actions and inactions, does not mean that they are anything other than a public figure. Ask Paris Hilton.
Additionally, the Village of Piermont has been having a really difficult week this past week. A lawsuit. A few media broadsides. Regulatory attention. A fomenting posse of residents. The individuals comprising Piermont Village “government” probably don’t have the bandwidth right now to rebuild the Village website to function more like a comprehensive corporate photo-directory – you know, a directory of the kind that a company might use if it was actually sophisticated, and a company wherein its employees actually took pride in their work and their work-product without hosing its customers in the process.
So here.
Meet the public officials who comprise your Village of Piermont Government – the "government" that is threatening to destroy your once-quaint Village forever. All photos and contact-information were gleaned by me, earlier today, from public-record sources. If you want to update me on their better contact-information as you discover it, then by all means update me. A few of these public figures are still trying to hide, notwithstanding their extremely public function.
I will be regularly updating this Blog entry with contact-information as the work coordinates for these public officials are further revealed, or else if they just skip town. For example, maybe some of the Planning Board and Zoning Board officials thusfar afraid to actually list their own work e-mail addresses on the Village of Piermont website, will finally decide to actually own up and not just rely on Catania and Usha.

Then again, maybe crickets.
Those Piermont public officials who wish to disavow the “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company” 447-477 Piermont Avenue development, can fax me a signed letter to that effect at fax number 212-410-2380. The fax machine is on 24/7, it has paper in it, and it is ready to receive. If any such letter is written in a manner that demonstrates that the author can actually put two sentences together, I might even publish it.
In the meantime, don't wait for me. Act NOW. Phone these individual public officials. Fax them. E-mail them. Now that you can recognize them when you see them, speak to them face-to-face when you see them at Bunbury's. Let each of these people know, individually, what you really think about their collective Village government enablement of “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company” and the disgusting 14-unit residential development threatening to trash your Village forever. Because if these "public officials" haven’t each and individually objected to the 447-477 Piermont Avenue development in writing yet, then they are part of the problem and part of the selfsame malicious enterprise.

Period.
In making these outbound contacts to Piermont public officials, you may hear a number of them protest back to you that they never did anything to date to enable “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company” to launch the ill-minded plan to debase the Village of Piermont.
Fine.
When they say that to you, challenge them. Challenge them to send you a signed writing expressing their unequivocal opposition to the plan of “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company” to pave-over the site of a former Sunoco gasoline station at 447-477 Piermont Avenue in Piermont, New York, in favor of a hideous 14-unit unwanted residential development that no sane resident wants. For that matter, challenge them to fax me a copy, too, at 212-410-2380. Just don’t hold your breath waiting to receive those writings.

I won't either.
And please remember. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. These people are already local officials. These people are already public officials. These people are already public figures. All photos and data are
gleaned from the public record. Now it is up to you to make them even more
famous than they already are.
