“#Rockaway Beach bar sabotaged with rotting fish, ‘food bombs’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The new operators of a Rockaway Beach snack bar found an unwelcome surprise when they unlocked the property last week and found it vandalized with rotting fish in the walls, noxious \u201cfood bombs\u201d in the ducts and concrete in the drains.<\/p>\n

Rockaway Beach Bazaar took over the lease on the Beach 97th Street concession on the boardwalk this year after outbidding the prior occupant, Rockaway Beach Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt stings that somebody is going to come in and reap the benefits of all our hard work,\u201d Rockaway Beach Club\u2019s Andrew Field griped to Gothamist in January<\/a> when the Parks Department, which owns the property, announced its decision to change\u00a0vendor groups.<\/p>\n

Police are now investigating the May 13 criminal mischief incident that caused $10,000 of damage and threatens the shack\u2019s planned opening over Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A copy of a 15-page document obtained by The Post details the destruction in photos \u2014 fish carcasses found atop old air ducts that created a \u201cpungent stench\u201d throughout the premises, as well as\u00a0mayonnaise jars filled with condensed milk and raw fish.<\/p>\n

These \u201cfood bombs\u201d were supposed to stay hidden inside air ducts until the extreme heat of the summer \u2014 when they would pressurize and pop, releasing a noxious odor, according to the document that was provided to the NYPD and Parks Department by the new operators.<\/p>\n

Drains were filled with Quikrete concrete mix, causing water backup and mold, and the management office was doused with cooking oil and urine, according to the document.<\/p>\n

\u201cNYC Parks and the NYPD are handling all comments regarding this matter. We are working tirelessly to try and get open ASAP and are looking forward to a great summer,\u201d said Rockaway Beach Bazaar manager Brian Carey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Carey\u2019s company also runs the concessions at Riis Park at the other end of the peninsula.<\/p>\n

Field, who also owns the popular Tacoway Beach eatery nearby, did not immedia<\/a>tely return messages about the vandalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cVandalism has no place in our parks, playgrounds, or beaches,\u201d Parks Department spokeswoman Charisse Hill told The Post. \u201cThis is an unfortunate incident that could negatively affect the Rockaway community, but we\u2019re hopeful that the Beach 97th street concessions will open by Memorial Weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new operator, Rockaway Beach Bazaar, is currently preparing for the upcoming beach season\u00a0and has committed to working with previous food vendors on the boardwalk to keep much of the same great tastes that beachgoers know and love.\u201d<\/p>\n
