The following is information from a story posted September 30th 2011 to read the whole story click here.

This property has been problem for Huntington for a long time, yet nothing has been done about it by anyone.  It is believed to possibly have Huntington Housing Authority HUD vouchers associated with the property. HUD has a one strike rule for violent crime.  The Town and the Huntington Housing Authority need to look into this.

During the same period of time that David Ney was in violation on three properties and he was failing to show up in court, he had the audacity of appearing before the ZBA to have another one of his properties made into a legal 2 family house. The address was 62 10th Street.  Under the ownership of David Ney, 62 10th Street had many dangerous crimes associated with it including:

October 29th 2010, Calvin Felder, 21, was standing in front of his home at 62 10th Avenue in Huntington Station while talking on his phone when he saw a late model black Ford Expedition with gold trim heading east on Craven Street at approximately 2 p.m. The vehicle stopped on Craven Street just east of 10th Avenue when two men exited the vehicle and one fired a shot in Felder’s direction.

Felder ran into his home, retrieved a shotgun, and came back out and shot at the men. One of the two men fired a number of rounds and shot Felder in the leg, shattering his femur. The men fled on Craven Street in the Expedition.

August 29, 2010, Melvin Giron, 25, was walking up to the side entrance of his home, located at 62 10th Ave., Huntington Station, when he was fatally shot at about 5:30 a.m. Giron’s body was found by his cousin at 7:50 a.m.

February 16, 2011 Suffolk County Police arrested a Huntington Station man after he was involved in a motor vehicle accident that seriously injured his passenger.  Calvin Felder was driving a 1999 Cadillac west on Long Island Avenue at 1:35 AM when his vehicle collided with a 2001 GMC driven by William Keyser, 39.  Felder, 22, of 62 10th Avenue, Huntington Station, was treated at Southside Hospital in Bay Shore and released into police custody. Felder’s passenger, Mark Smith, 22, also of Huntington Station, was transported by Deer Park Fire Department Rescue to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip where he was listed in critical condition. Third Squad detectives charged Felder with Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs and Unlawfully Fleeing a Police Officer.

The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) which is appointed by the Town board, granted David Ney the right to turn 62 10th Avenue into a legal 2 family despite the long list of crimes associated with the property.  This property did not have the required square footage and it was already in violation of Town codes.  David Ney and his lawyer claimed that the home had always been a 2 family home and therefore should be granted permission to legalize it.  A lifelong Huntington Station resident testified that is was not always a 2 family residence and had been illegally altered.  The ZBA disregarded this testimony.  The ZBA obviously disregarded all the other homes owned by David Ney with violations and the fact they he was not showing up in court.
