The owners of the notorious Carneglia brothers’ junkyard on Fountain Avenue in East New York have applied for a waiver to convert the 77,000-square-foot site into a storage and maintenance depot for 125 buses. According to federal prosecutors, mobsters John and Charles Carneglia used the site to traffic drugs, chop up stolen cars and dump bodies. Charles Carneglia was indicted last year for five murders, according to the Daily News, and John Carneglia is currently serving a 50-year sentence for heroin trafficking. Richard Dillon, president of the Concerned Homeowners Association, said the area is zoned for residential use, and will not meet the conditions for a variance to convert it to industrial use. The latest variance request was filed by HJC Holding Corp., which lists John Carneglia’s wife as the CEO.
