LANSKY
THE MOB'S
ACCOUNTANT
Lanky, known as "the
Mob's accountant," a de-
scription he'd eschew,
would come back to Miami
Beach to take care of busi-
ness himself.
The Bussian-bom Maier
Suehowijaaky was consid-
ered by law enforcement
"to be a geniis of finance
with the proceeds of boot-
legging and gambling with
notorious associates in-
cluding Lucky Luciano and
Buggy Siegel," the Miami
Herald once said.
Lanky said "there's no
such thing as organized
in 1978.
A police officer once
described Liras y as "the
Andrew Carnegie of the
Mob," the Herald reported
in 1983. His fast arrest
came in 1918, when he was
about 16, for felonious
assault in New York.
He reputedly joined
forces with Benjamin (Bug-
sy) Siegel to form the Bugs
and Meyer Mob in 1921,
the Herald reported in his
obituary. "The gang spe-
cialized in hijacking can
and guarding bootleg li-
quor shipments for other
hoodlums during the Pro-
hibition era"
In the 1930s and 1940s,
Lanky was linked to illegal
gambling casinos in South
Florida, New Orleans,
Havana and Saratoga, New
York.
In 1972, Israeli authori-
ties deported him back to
South Flotda, where the
government brought Lan -
sky to trial with the testi-
mony of loan shark Vincent
"Fat Vnmie" Teresa Lan -
sky was acquitted in 1974.
He'd cop to one thing: "I
admit quite frankly that I
made a fortune from boot-
legging," he said In "Lan -
sky, Mogul of the Mob," a
book written by three Is-
raeli journalists to whom
Meyer Lamky at Miami International Airport in
February 1978.
he granted limited cooper-
ation, the Herald reported.
LMNG IN MIAMI BEACH
Landry spent the rest of
his life in Miami Beach
living with his second wife,
Thelma, at the Imperial
House in the 5200 block of
Collin Avenue. He had
three children from his
first wife, Anna, whom he
divorced in 1948 to many
Thelma. He repotfedly
doted on his children —
Remard, Paul and Sandra.
The Miami Herold once
described Lankay as
small, mild-mannered and
grandfatherly man who
looked like anyone else his
age, playing our life's clos-
ing years in Miami Beach."
People recall seeing
Lanky shopping at the
cn's clothing stored at
al Harbour Shops and
getting hair cub at Carou-
sel Barber Shop in Surfdide.
The mobster also hung
out at the Singapore on
Colin Avenue and was
often seen dicing at the
two Wolfie Sandwich Shop
delis that were on Lincoln
Road and Collins Avenue.
They were famed for their
overdmfied pastrami sand-
wiches and supersized
slabs of their "world fa-
mous cheesecake."
Lanky died from lag
cancer at Moat Sinai
Medical Center in Miami
Beach on Jan. 15, 1983. He
waa 80.
"Lanky outlived all the
big hoodlums of his era:
Capone, Costello, Luciano,
Giancent, Anastasia, Lep-
ke, Joe Adonis, Longie
ZwiOman. His name is part
of our history and our le-
gend. But when the obits
en the other day, there
was a sense that the true
story was now gone for-
m," the Herald wrote a
week after Ida death
LANSKY ON AUCTION
The Fin Autographs and
Artifacts auction from RR
Auction concludes Jan 8.
Auction spokesman Mike
Graff expects the letter to
attract interest
"Gangster memorabilia
Is one of RR's most popular
specialty categories," Graff
said. "They are best known
for selling the Bonnie and
Clyde's gun for more than
$500,000, In 2012."
On Saturday, the Lanky
letter had attracted a bid of
$220 so far.
In 2018, a 14-karat gold
tie clip said to belong to
Lanky went for $526 after
it was auctioned by Aaron
Lombardo, Vincent
Lombardo's grandson.

BACKGROUND
The site plan for NFL Recycling was forwarded to PCD office on November 21st 2019 for review.
The property under its current use was cited by Code Enforcement. The business owners are
looking to upgrade their site to comply with the 1-2 zoning designation, however the use of a scrap
metal recycling operation is not permitted within this zoning district. NFL Recycling has been
operating under a license issued by the city since 2016, the licensure they have does not reflect
the type of work being done by the company has been working under said license.
In September 2013, the business owners, Nelson Lara, applied for an occupational license to
"storage and warehousing of electric motors, to cut up and sold." Staff determine this use as a
scrap metal operation and the application was denied. The site appears to have had a variety of
uses since 2005, from storage of containers, dumpsters, pallets, and heavy vehicles. In 2016, the
RESOLUTION- NFL RECYCLING- APPROVAL AS GRANDFATHERING (NON -CONFORMING USE) 12-20-19
outside scrap metal operation appears to begin per the aerials provided by Miami -Dade Office of
the Property Appraiser.
The type of open air/outside recycling operation they are conducting is allow in the 1-4 Liberal
Industrial Storage and Salvage zoning district. The 1-4 zoning district is located in an area of the
City bounded by NW 32 Avenue to the east, CSX ROW to the west and south of NW 135th Street
to the City Limits along NW 127th Street. In order for this scrap metal recycling operation to be
considered for grandfathership to the type of recycling allowed in the 1-2 Industrial zoning District,
the recycling should occur inside a wholly included building or structure.
Proposed Action:
Staff has recommended approval of this legislation.
