The dedicated team of project advocates is available to offer information or assistance with property research, applications filling and signoff processes, or violations. 

SBT will  provide small business owners and entrepreneurs the dedicated DOB support they need. With a single point of contact at DOB, this allows you to have one-on-one guidance so your planned or ongoing construction projects can move to completion

Dedicated Team of Project Advocates. One point of contact for answers, coordination, and project scope management to help your business open on time without issues.

One-on-one guidance. Providing support at NO COST for your planned or ongoing construction projects, including assistance with inspections, permits, and overall general advice.

Proactive Consultations. SBT will provide answers up front to avoid issues down the road, creating a project road map to facilitate completing your project on time.

A grave injustice has been done to what rapidly became a neighborhood favorite and a huge asset to our community. The Fiorentina Steak House was granted a temporary liquor license, and then denied a regular one, without adequate cause or merit. Do not let this injustice injure our neighborhood. Patronize Fiorentina for lunch or dinner, and have a soft drink until this problem is resolved.

Fiorentina Steakhouse is at 3617 E Tremont Ave, Bronx, NY 10465.  Call (718) 812-1112 for reservations.

Jonathon & Anthony cordially invite you to an estate planning seminar.

The Crosstown Diner has been named the Best in The Bronx! A well-deserved honor for a great restaurant.

Twenty-eight new businesses have opened in the Throggs Neck BID since COVID began to wind down. Restaurants, professional services, and more now call our community home. The BID will continue to do all that is possible to make our neighborhood one of the best places in all of New York.

The Board and staff of the Throggs Neck Business Improvement District wish all of you the Merriest of Christmases! It has been our honor and joy to work with you to make our community the best it has ever been.

The Throggs Neck BID has become a major factor in assisting our community. We recently gave checks to the Throggs Neck Volunteer Ambulance Corps, the food pantry of the Family Worship Center, and we are also purchasing graffiti removal supplies.
