Shooting – Monroe & Nostratd, Bed-Stuy


I have to admit, a murder 30 feet from my apartment five days after I move in is pretty disconcerting.

Are we allowed to report shootings on the Brownstoner?

Painter and Landscaper Needed


Remember me? I found a place that took my three dogs (with a 2.5 month deposit, just for them). I will be among you Brooklynites soon! I’m very excited.

I would like to paint my rental, and I also need someone to come clear out the massively over-grown backyard. Craigslist is making my head spin.

Do you have suggestions for me?

I Have a Problem Finding an Apartment… MY DOGS!


I can’t seem to find an apartment that will work. Am I asking too much? I’m not sure. here is the situation:

We’re 26, married, no kids. HHI is $90,000 per year, so we would like a rental of $2000 or less.

We MUST HAVE:
washer/dryer in unit

an exclusive, fenced-in/walled off backyard (the bigger the better)

one or more bedrooms

a first-floor apartment

an apartment in: western Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, Gowanas, Boreum Hill, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and maybe lower, western Greenpoint.

We would love to have:
a “busy” neighborhood

easy parking

really close access to a subway

We have three wonderfully trained and housebroken dogs with no plans on getting rid of them.

Am I never going to find what I need?
