Founded in 2006, the Bay
Ridge 5th Avenue Business Improvement District is the largest BID in
Brooklyn, New York, covering from the areas of 65th Street to 85th
Street.
A not-for-profit corporation,
the Bay Ridge 5th Avenue B.I.D. is funded through special assessments
collected from property owners located within its boundaries. The
focus of the B.I.D. is to improve conditions by providing additional
sanitation, security, beautification and capital improvements.
Its day-to-day-operations are
managed by a board of directors and officers elected by the District
Management Association, a voluntary organization made of property
owners, commercial and residential tenants in the area, as well as
representatives of elected officials, and under the auspices of the
New York City Department of Small Business Services.
