Do you have the proper paperwork to show that it is a legal 3 family? Hire a lawyer to have the tax class corrected.

At $340 you are still paying over $500/sq ft which I think is too high.

You need to figure in taxes and common charges as well, as well as legal fees that must be payed at closing- I do not think you are in any position to buy this with only 10K on hand.

Google Earth would be in serious trouble if you couldn't take and publish pictures of property.

Converting downtown Brooklyn to only class A space is not a good idea. A lot of business, even in Manhattan, uses class B and C space and really doesn't need class A space. Its a nice idea in theory, but a waste of resources in the end.

Also, a lot of the properties listed are pre-foreclosure- so they may not even enter foreclosure.

Instead of trying to line up food vendors at the event, you should get menus from local eateries and have a map up at the entrance to show people where to eat in the area.

And I guess you'll need a "no fake blacks" sign at the entrance too, tho it will mean Robert Downey Jr. and C. Thomas Howell won't be allowed in.

You need to check the washers inside the valve first- they could be damaged or the wrong size/material. A damaged washer can cause odd blockages, the wrong type can deform with changes in water temperature also causing blockages.

I think there were bikes the first week, but only bike enthusiast stuff this past week.
I'm not sure if Senor Flea has posted an up to date list of the rotating schedule.
I do see the April 13 schedule up now.
