Like Play-Doh.


Most Orangetown and Rockland County, New York neighbors are well-aware of Frank DeCarlo and his companies “FDC Contracting Co., Inc.” (FDC) and “Piermont Developers, LLC” (Piermont Developers) out of Bergen County, New Jersey. Why? Because Frank DeCarlo, FDC, Piermont Developers, and their associates are manipulating the soft Village of Piermont, NY government like Play-Doh. Reciprocally, Piermont Village Hall is selling-out Piermont Village residents to these out-of-state developer interests. The still-pending Frank DeCarlo/Piermont Developers application to place a multi-unit residential Motel 6-looking monstrosity smack in the center of the Village, triggered multiple litigations and homeowner outrage.

Yet who ARE these developers, really? The soft Piermont Village government has not indicated they have done any due diligence on Frank DeCarlo and FDC. But don’t worry about that, because the “Unhand Piermont!” blog, has.


It is now discovered that the very same Frank DeCarlo, as landlord to multiple tenants including a young woman and her two children, was cited by the City of Troy, New York in 2017 and 2018 for multiple recidivist code violations in response to numerous tenant and neighbor complaints. Yet it gets even worse, and we have pictures. An extermination service witnessed the infestation there and observed that the “[t]enants need to vacate [the] home in fifteen days because of the amount [of] mice”. The City of Troy found the DeCarlo-owned building “Unfit For Human Habitation”. The City of Troy ordered Frank DeCarlo to exterminate his premises for mice, squirrels, rats, and bats. Moreover, the City of Troy ordered the premises VACATED by DeCarlo and his tenants alike:

You can read about the matter's resolution, at the above link. Incidentally, the photographs furnished by the City of Troy found at the link are not for the faint of heart – particularly the photo of the mattress located inside the 1869 Highland Avenue premises taken by City of Troy Officer Adrienne Waugh.
 
The question to Piermont residents now is, is this REALLY the guy that you want to trust to develop, build, and possibly even “maintain” a multi-unit residential behemoth in the center of YOUR Village?
