A new affordable housing
development catering to
down-and-out veterans of the
US Armed Forces opened its
doors on Wednesday, bringing
135 below-market-rate
units to the People’s Playground.
Surf Vets Place, located on
the corner of W. 21st Street
and Surf Avenue, offers 82
units for formerly homeless
veterans and 53 affordable
units to residents who make
between 50 and 60 percent
of the area median income
for New York City, which is
$96,100 for a family of three.
According to developers,
the complex is one of the
largest of its kind in the borough.
“There’s nothing quite
like this,” said Ralph Fasano,
the executive director of Concern
for Independent Living,
the organization that worked
with the city’s Department of
Veterans Services to administer

the apartments for the
vets. “There’s some scattered
veteran housing around
right now, but not on a scale
like this.”
The veterans’ units will
cost tenants 30 percent of
their adjusted gross income,
and the other affordable
apartments go for anywhere
between $929 and $1289 per
month, said a rep for Georgica
Green Ventures, the
building’s developer.
Eligible veterans were referred
to the Concern for Independent
Living through
veteran shelter system and
associated providers, Fasano
said, while tenants for
the affordable units applied
through the city’s Housing
Connect platform online,
and were selected through a
lottery. All the units are currently
fi lled, and there are 57
applicants on the waitlist for
the affordable units.
The nine-story building
also includes nearly two
football fi elds worth of retail
space on its ground fl oor,
which Fasano said would be
occupied by one or two commercial
tenants — most likely
a boutique grocery store or
a community organization,
such as Brownsville Community
Culinary Center.
The property’s architect,
the Stephen B. Jacobs Group,
fi led plans for the tower back
in April 2016 and planned to
open up the building by Jan.,
2019, but construction delays
pushed the opening back to
Nov. 20, Fasano said.
When the complex did fi -
nally open its doors, local
leaders lauded it as one of the
most modern affordable housing
complexes in the area.
“This is the most beautiful
affordable housing development
in Coney Island, and
this sets an important tone
for the rest of the development
that is coming to our
community,” said Councilman
Mark Treyger (D–Coney

“We can point to this beautiful
residence and say this is
the standard, and that all of
our residents deserve nothing
less.”
Surf Vets Place was required
to include affordable
units 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
families who earn between
51 percent and 120 percent of
the area’s median income.
Welcome home!

This One Thing Can Lead You To Freedom From Knee
Pain and Save You From A Knee Replacement…
You feel frustrated and sick and tired of feeling like
you are in your 90’s when you are trying to enjoy your
early retirement. Now you’re walking down the stairs
sideways step-by-step like a baby afraid your knee will
buckle. Popping Solgar No.7 vitamins and Glucosamine
pills for breakfast, has you feeling frustrated, because
the gel shots, the braces and the icy hot and Physical
Therapy is making things worse. The pain is so bad that
the sleeping is getting harder. 9 haunting words from the
knee specialist you saw echo in your head “Maybe you
should consider the knee replacement surgery soon…”
WAIT! DON’T GIVE UP… NEVER
GIVE UP HERE’S WHY…
I agree with you and it’s not your fault that the old
fashioned way of treating knee arthritis with the same
old rooster shots (hyaluronic acid injection) FAILED
YOU – just a short term bandaid! Yes, even if they
tell you they use ultrasound guided and fluoroscopic
precision xrays to put the injection in the exact place
where the bone is touching bone, it’s still the same old
placebo potion delivered in a fancier way. Ok…it helps
for some, but for you it was a waste of time… am I right?
YOUR KNEE ARTHRITIS IS
COMPARED TO A “TOOTH DECAY
CAVITY” YET THAT’S NOT THE
TRUTH…
I want to ask you a really BIG question…ok? Do you
really think that there is science backing the theory of
gel shots? Your answer was “I dunno”! The only thing
that is backing those shots, is science that Medicare
pays some money for the doctor’s appointment to
examine you! Those shots cost $500 to you! These
shots are as guaranteed as hitting the lottery!
VITAMINS DON’T WORK AND
HERE’S WHY…
Do you really think that glucosamine will reach your
joint? Honestly, you are swallowing a water pill and
you need to know that there is a huge placebo effect.
OK THIS IS A PROMISE OF A REAL
SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION NOT A
WATER PILL…
I agree with you that the Traditional Physical Therapy
DID NOT WORK! Actually it worsened your condition
especially when you were told to ride the bike, right?
SO WHAT! COME ON I AM A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL
THERAPY AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT TRADITIONAL
THERAPY JUST WON’T WORK! I DO KNOW WHAT
WORKS.
ACTUALLY 387 REAL PATIENTS WITHIN THE LAST 5
YEARS HAVE CALLED ME PERSONALLY TO CONSULT ME
FOR A SECOND OPINION TO HAVING KNEE SURGERY
BECAUSE MY PROPRIETARY SYSTEM GETS RESULTS …
NO THIS IS NOT STEM CELLS!
Stem cells cost $5,000 and get zero results, because
there is zero proof that they work. Don’t do it! NO NOT
PRP SHOTS! Taking blood and spinning it in a centrifuge
these $1,000 injections can heal your arthritis. PRP
works for other issues just not arthritis. I know because
I spent the last 3 years being mentored by the top Sports
Medicine PRP and STEM CELL experts in the country
and I saw with my own eyes what works and here it is…

WHAT IS KNEE DEROTATION AND
REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY?
Forget what you just read! Let’s focus on the next few
lines below…
Your hip is like the axle of a car, your knee a shock
absorber and your foot the tires… make a mental image,
close your eyes so you can picture it now.
Can you drive a car with a flat tire? Yes, sure you can,
but you know after sometime what will happen is the
shock from the street will destroy the shock absorbers
between the axle and the tire, as the car rolls over the
pot holes… Can you drive a car with a misaligned axle?
Sure you can but after sometime the car starts to pull in
one direction and the shock absorber begins to wear out.
THAT’S YOUR KNEE! IT’S A SHOCK
ABSORBER!
KNEE DEROTATION AND REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY
uses a non-radiation-based laser scanner that instantly
analyzes your hip, knee and ankle alignment looking
for the exact misalignment angle. Traditional xrays
look only at the knee joint and don’t take the hip and
ankle into account causing Doctors to misjudge what is
really the true cause of the bone-on-bone in your knee.
Whether it’s your hip, or your foot and ankle, our scanner
shows us the exact measurements telling us how to
derotate your hip—based on kinesiology (the science
of muscles, bones and nerves). A few centimeters of
derotation will decompress and realign your hip, turning
on a critical small muscle deep in the buttock called the
short rotator. We do this while we gently pull your hip
with a decompression pulley device. Simply put, we
activate your weak unused hip muscle.
Arthritis Research and Therapy 18 Article 255
Functional electrical stimulation of gluteus medius have
shown that once the muscle is turned on the hip levels
out and unpinches the inside of the knee during walking.
Unicompartmental arthritis is what doctors call the pain
on the inner part of your knee and worn out meniscus.
This is exactly what we attempt to decompress using
this derotation method. During the derotation, we use
a tool called deep muscle stimulator to break up the
scar tissue in the inner knee while the hip is stretched
and derotated. And let me tell you it works and it lasts.
