We’re apartment hunting in Brooklyn, and there’s an apartment in a brownstone we love, but the floors are sloped in the living and bed rooms… is this 100% building settling (i.e. nothing to be done) or is there a chance that it’s just the unit and we can fix it… and if it’s the latter, how much does that cost? And how do you tell what the problem is in the first place? It’s not the slope we’re used to– the kind where it slopes up toward the walls– it’s just random sloping in the middle of the room….

Anyway, thanks so much for your help on this– we’re 1st time home buyers, and new to all this!
