No Fine Against Landlord in Hanukkah Party Accident
WOODMERE, NY — No fine will be levied against the landlord who owns the Woodmere storefront on Broadway where a car careened into a Hanukkah party, a Hempstead Town spokesman said yesterday.
More than 100 people were at the gathering at 1052 Broadway on Dec. 25, the fourth day of Hanukkah, authorities said. Town code prohibits using the property, zoned for retail use, for public assembly.
“There will not be a fine unless there’s a continuation of the violation,” said town spokesman Mike Deery.
The landlord, who the town says is 1056 Broadway Woodmere Corp., could not be reached for comment.
Investigators say the crash was caused by a car floor mat. Fourteen people were injured. The driver, Theodore Saretsky, 76, of Atlantic Beach, is not expected to face criminal charges, police have said. Saretsky, a psychologist, has not responded to calls for comment.
