BONER CANDIDATE #1: LEAVE LAZIZ ALONE

In a string of attacks, Laziz Kitchen has faced its third account of vandalism targeting the Pride flag that hangs front and center of the restaurant’s doors. Moudi Sbeity, the owner of the restaurant, shared surveillance video of the incident that took place Friday night. Sbeity noticed the Pride flag had been cut when arriving at work on Saturday morning. The video he shared shows one individual entering the premise about an hour after the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. The restaurant was attacked 6 months ago in February. The difference this time is now Sbeity had the installed cameras.

BONER CANDIDATE #2: AN OUTPOURING OF LOVE AND LARCENY

A New York Cit condo owner has been busted for converting one apartment unit into nine separate units to rent out for as much as $600 a month. Landlord Xue Ping Ni had split his 634-square-foot condo in half horizontally, creating a new floor between the fourth and fifth, to rent out to 11 tenants on Manhattan’s Lower East Side that had ceilings as low as 4 1/2 feet. The units at 165 Henry Street were raided and shut down Wednesday by the city’s Department of Buildings and Ni was fined more than $144,000 for failing to have sprinklers and proper electrical, structural and plumbing permits. In one photo, a city inspector is seen on his knees in order to enter the micro unit. Manhattan Councilman Ben Kallos said it was a scene that resembled the 1999 indie film Being John Malkovich, which depicted a 7th 1/2 floor in a Manhattan office. Read More
