Every year, millions of people try to quit smoking, and every year, millions fail. Smokers
try nicotine patches, inhalers, nasal spray, and gum to kick the habit. Some try quitting
cold turkey. Most will quit two or three times and return to the habit before quitting again
permanently. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most relapses occur within the
first three months.
Auriculotherapy treatment balances brain chemicals, that when out of balance, can
lead to addictions. The treatment is easy and cost effective, and could soon change the way we
treat smoking addictions. By tapping into certain points through he ear to the brain, chemicals
are balanced and cravings vanish immediately. One, pain free treatment is all that is usually
needed. Once you have the motivation, auriculotherapy can offer what willpower cannot -
PERMANENT SUCCESS!

REJECTED: Borough President Adams panned a developer’s request to rezone the block of
Surf Avenue between W. 22nd and W. 23rd streets. File photo by Steve Solomonson
REZONING
which are not — could be left without
homes in his recommendation issued
on Nov. 30.
The developer previously claimed
there are only 28 units among its four
buildings in presenting its rezoning
request to the local Community Board
13, which panned the scheme back in
October.
And the Winiarskis aren’t the only
landlords on that Surf Avenue block
— there are 20 lots they do not own, including
11 vacant plots and a total of
nine industrial, mixed-use, and residential
buildings containing 81 more
units, all of which would be upzoned
should the builders’ request be approved,
allowing those property owners
to redevelop their lots and risk displacing
even more locals, Adams said.
The family fi rm requested the rezoning
in order to erect two interconnected
mixed-use high-rises — a
12-story tower facing W. 22nd Street
and a fi ve-story tower facing W. 23rd
Street connected by a ground-fl oor retail
strip.
The development will include 40
parking spots split between the roof of
the commercial strip and the towers’
second story, and 20 of its 80 units will
be so-called affordable apartments reserved
for tenants making no more
than 60 percent of the area’s median
income — which data shows is $43,860
or less for a one-person household, or
$62,580 for a family of four — as mandated
by the city’s mandatory inclusionary
housing program.
But there are several below-market
rate buildings in the works nearby
— some of which will entirely contain
affordable units — according to Adams,
including a 134-unit affordable
and supportive housing development
slated to open early next year just a
block away, at Surf Avenue and W. 21st
Street.
Following the beep’s purely advisory
recommendation on the rezoning
request, the proposal moved to
the City Planning Commission, which
will review it at a public hearing sometime
next month as part of the city’s
lengthy Universal Land Use Review
Procedure, which concludes with a decision
from Mayor DeBlasio.
But fi rst, the request must move
from the City Planning Commission to
Council — where Coney Island Councilman
Mark Treyger will cast the key
vote on the request, as the project sits
in his district.
The pol’s chief of staff previously
hinted at his disapproval of the scheme
when she expressed her boss’s concerns
about the Winiarskis’ lack of a
detailed relocation plan for their tenants
at an October CB13 meeting.
The developers’ attorney Richard
Lobel said the Winiarskis cannot control
if tenants of properties they do not
own are displaced should the rezoning
get the green light, but that his clients
intend to work with locals and Treyger
to relocate any occupants booted from
buildings they do own if the scheme
passes.

AFFORDABLE
ment, which manages the lottery system.
Architects contracted by Surf Vets
Place’s developer fi led plans for the
nine-story tower containing 134 total
units and nearly two basketball
courts’ worth of ground-fl oor retail
space back in April 2016.
The building’s other 82 units are
specifi cally earmarked for formerly
homeless veterans, who could begin
applying for those apartments back in
November through the city’s online
supportive-housing lottery, which is
managed by the Human Resources Administration.
Following that application period,
that agency will forward eligible veterans’
requests for the units to the Department
of Veterans Services, and
then to leaders of the Concern for Independent
Living, the organization that
will help the city dole out the apartments
based on factors including fi -
nancial qualifi cations, household size,
proof of a need for housing, and a criminal
background check, according to
Concern honcho Elizabeth Lunde, who
previously told this newspaper that
Surf Vets Place’s developer Georgica
Green Ventures plans to fi nish construction
on the property next month.
The so-called affordable units are
required in the development because
it sits within the special Coney Island
District, a product of the area’s 2009
rezoning , which mandates that builders
set aside 35 percent of units in complexes
within the district for low and
moderate-income families who earn
between 51 percent and 120 percent
of the area’s median income, which
comes out to between $53,193 and
$125,160 for a four-person household.
