Celebrity Chef Vincent Tropepe To Address CB 7 Meeting Next Week, Board To Also Tackle Flooding Problems

Bay Ridge-based chef Vincent Tropepe, who had his own reality television show and has been fighting what he has called a system of restaurant health codes and fines that strangle small businesses throughout the city, will address Community Board 7’s Health and Mental Health Committee next Tuesday, August 12 at 6pm.

Tropepe will be discussing at the CB 7 committee meeting the Food Service Establishment Advisory Board, which was created to advise the city’s health commissioner “concerning matters related to the food service establishment sanitary inspection program and its effect on the restaurant industry, food safety, and publish health.”

The August 12 meeting will also include discussion on opiate overdose prevention. It will be held in the CB 7 board room, located at 4201 4th Avenue in Sunset Park. The entrance is on 43rd Street.

Additionally, CB 7 will hold a meeting for its Parks and Environment Committee on Monday, August 11 at 6:30pm, during which there will be discussion about the “short and long term solutions to flooding problems in East Windsor Terrace.”

At the same Monday meeting, the city School Construction Authority and the developers of 22 Caton Place and 33 Caton Place are expected to attend. SCA representatives are slated to discuss the incoming PS/IS 437, a new school being constructed in Kensington.

The meeting will take place at the International Baptist Church, located at 312 Coney Island Avenue. The entrance is on Caton Place.
