Congregation Shows Concerns over Jody Kriss, East River Partners Renovation Project
While construction is typically a good thing, members of the Adas Yisroel Anshe Synagogue congregation are expressing concerns over the potential health hazards associated with the planned renovation and demolition. The project, headed by East River Partners' principal Jody Kriss, is expected to create three luxury condominium units on the top floor of the synagogue. As part of this project, the synagogue itself will be receiving a complete gut renovation as well. During the process, the congregation will continue to meet on the ground floor.
Jody Kriss Website Launched to Discuss East River Partners Business Methods
The name Jody Kriss is perhaps not the best known to the general public. However, this New York City real estate developer has established some infamy lately in the business community. After settling for $1.6 million over allegations of poisoning families with lead paint, and in the midst of a property development RICO suit worth one billion dollars, Kriss’ name might not be in the newspapers, but is a commonality in the courtroom.
