So my wife decided to cruise through Craig’s List real estate for some reason. There she found a 2 bedroom-2 bath apt. in a “boutique” condo in Boerum Hill. The ad didn’t list an address or a real estate company (but did have a photo of what appeared to be Harrison Ford above the agent’s name).

At any rate, I emailed the guy asking WHERE this place was. His reply was:

I’m so sorry, but my company does not allow us to give locations until we have made an appointment and registered you with the building.

I can tell you that it is 1/2 block from Smith
St. This is an 11 story building set amongst a
tree lined street with brownstones.”

A) Does that sound fishy to you at all? (Suddenly having flashbacks to those companies that sold rental lists when I first move to New York).

B) Does that sound like Baltic Towers? (Can’t think of any other 11 story joints half block from Smith … oh, and half block from the projects as well.)

Just weirdness all around.

Any thoughts? Anyone else seen this sort of thing?
