Mikal Bridges appeals zoning violation regarding gym equipment storage

Mikal Bridges, a guard for the New York Knicks, is appealing a violation notice from the Avalon Planning and Zoning Board over gym equipment stored in his garage. The board stated that Bridges needs a floodplain development permit, as his garage use reportedly violates a deed restriction. Bridges filed an application on October 23, 2025, requesting two variances to use the garage for personal gym equipment, arguing it does not constitute 'development' under borough regulations. A hearing for the appeal was originally set for August 11 but has been postponed to September 8.
