Tall poles, possibly for signs to advertise The Riviera at Gerritsen Beach which might offer 32 single and two family townhouses the 32 single and two family townhouses, have gone up at the property that used to be Danzas. I say might because the developer Stephen Jemal is being sued for $5.5 Million Dollar by his investment companies, so you never know.

Maybe SSJ development should be using its money to clean up the property at Lacon Ct instead of paying lawyers to send demand letters. I changed my mind…..they should keep paying their lawyers you never know when they are going to need them. *wink wink nudge nudge*

The investment companies that fund the Jemal’s Brooklyn projects in Mill Basin, Gerritsen beach and Sheepshead Bay have filed a civil suit against Stephen S Jemal and Sharon E Jemal in Texas Northern District Court.

The companies “Gerritsen Beach Investments Ltd” and “Riviera Investments I Ltd” filed their complaint on 7/14/2008 the cause is stated as a “Contract Dispute“.

The plaintiffs claim that the  Jemal’s (Stephen and Sharon) have not paid them back $5,580,000 plus interest. The Jemals are also allegedly also refusing to pay them back!

Both of the investment companies are being represented by Todd Hoodenpyle of Singer & Levick

What does this mean for his existing construction projects? Time will tell.
