After Two Decades, Beloved Senior Center Shutters in Brooklyn
The Ocean Parkway Older Adult Center in Brooklyn, a city-funded senior facility operating for over 20 years, closed after its landlord Ahi Ezer Housing Development Fund Corp refused to renew its lease. The center, which served as a cooling site during a heatwave, faced disputes over attendance claims, with staff and users arguing against the landlord's assertion of low turnout.
