Anyone know what is going into this space? It used to be dry cleaner.

Prepping for a summer attack! Waterbugs.

My neighbor has been digging on and off in his basement to make an apt. down there for two years. He still hasn't poured cement. Last summer, HUGE waterbugs raced all over the the front and side of his building at night (including in and out of a huge crack above his front door). I have called 311 to no avail. During summer, we saw at least two a week in our otherwise pest-free apt. It was harrowing.

I can't find the opening they are entering through, but think it may be the air conditioners. Are there any home remedies/scents that keep them away? Any electronic devices that really work?

buying in sunset or bay ridge

I currently rent in CG, but can't afford to buy. I have started to look in Sunset Park and Bay Ridge for the "own a home for the price of a condo" option. Would love any advice on people's experiences look and buying there, realtors to look out for, etc. I have been looking for a one family in the 600K range or 2 family in the 700K range.

the broker returned my call...says that an senior citizen who owned it passed and his nephews are selling. could or would not comment on what property shark shows about it being sold in 2006 for 600K.

first she said there may be offers, then she asks how much i can put down, two minutes later she says there are cash offers out there and doesn't want to waste my time, which is nice, but...the way re agents go about things make you not want to hunt.
