At a protest with Council Member Mark Weprin and Assembly Member Ed Braunstein, State Senator Tony Avella stated, “The new building being built by E. Gluck and Steel Tribune LLC in Little Neck is absolutely outrageous. The elected officials and members of this community were all repeatedly informed that the new building will conform to the same height as the former Leviton property. But looking at the monstrosity that is nearly finished, it is obvious that the developers lied, hoping that no one will notice before the new building is complete. The City must immediately halt all construction. This huge building should not be permitted across the street from one family homes.”
