that's a pretty big housing development downtown called 'Knickerbocker Village' - a lot of Bonnano guys grew up/lived/live there . It's a pretty desireable place to live especially for older, middle class NY'ers. Very hard to get into these days. It's rent stabalized/income based, years long waiting lists to get in etc.. You have to file an income affidavit to live in a place like that, proving you only make X amount of dollars per year. A place like that is probably perfect for a mob guy who claims a bullshit tax return but makes most of his money in cash
