Food is below average, overpriced and the salsa tastes like someone took a piss in it- for real. Stay away.
BrooklynGreene, So bland

This constant flea market stuff is getting very old. We get it- there are flea markets in Brooklyn. Move along please.

Common charges are crazy high in this building according to the web site. They're going to ahve a hard time unloading these.

Food is really good here. Funny thing is when you call to order sometimes it takes 5 minutres for them to pick up the phone, and sometimes they don't pick up at all. Seems a crazy way to run a business.
Cobble Hill location was always filled with laptop jockeys who never bought anything. Not a good way to run a business.

For some reason the fundraisers (this was the second) seem to be attracting a lot of hippie douchebags. Not sure why.

Personally I would have said nothing and see if it came back to bite me in the ass. In your case it looks like your movers f-ed up. I agree with the other post that mentioned that the movers insurance should cover the cost of a locksmith/ handyman to fix the door.
Now you've openeded your big mouth to everyone, just drop the super a 50 spot with your apologies.

Ill informed- Manhattanites go through Queens to get to the airport- Not Brooklyn for starters.
Also, the Daily Mail in England is a couple steps down from New York Newsday.

petebklyn- I walk this block everyday twice a day and it's a nice block but no nicer than similar Carroll Gardens / Cobble Hill side streets. You're acting like this is the Champs Elysees or something. Just from my own experience- I've lived on President Street and now on Cheever Place and both are far superioir to this block of Baltic.

Piece of cr@p. Needs a new kitchen. Living room has one window exposure(other taken by the bath room). Broker site blatantly lies claiming it's "new to the market" (how do they get away with that? Re-priced and new to the market are 2 completley different things). Nice block but one of nicest blocks in BK is a huge stretch.

Great place to go for a heart attack
My Guess
1. Sidewalk infraction
2. Tax evasion'
3. Didn't pay someone off
4. operating in a gray area between being a store and a restaurant maybe?
5. For being French

I agree, total morons. Builing is in a flood zone and a prospective Superfund site. Apartment layouts are horrible, location is terrible, unless you like living in an industrial park. Enviromental safety is also questionalble- Wouldn't want to breed kids here.

Your question is useless without stating what your current rent is.

Are you kidding Minard? Have you ever been on this block?The apartment is in downtown Bklyn- not Bklyn Heights. Yes it's conveinient for Popeyes and McDonalds and not far from the Fulton mall. I guarantee it won't even go in the 6's.

Horrible location, high maintenance. Looks cookie cutter, no moldings etc... Nasty paint job in bedroom and a kitchen that you need to walk through sideways to fit. Over priced too, only good if you need to be close to the unemployment office on Schemerhorn on a regualr basis.

nice place, exposed brick is a nice touch and pl...ease drop the "we", unless you're a siamise twin it really does make you sound like a total retard.

Don't do go for the Pizza, go for the steam table. Chicken, veal, fish, veggies... all are awesome and well priced. I eat dinner here at least once a week.
That Cobble Hill 2 bed is a real piece of junk. Living room is the size of a postage stamp and the whole place would be small even for a one bed.Can't believe someone paid asking in this market for that. I guess there's a sucker born every day.

Jesus Christ, it's a flea market- get over it already. It's not that interesting.
Posted by: bobbyj at August 24, 2009 10:16 AM in response to Closing Bell: It's Alright to Flea
Simple- Good sales people and clueless first time buyers. Also, a lot of bait and switch tactics by same sales people concerning available apartments.
Floor plans are horrible and to get an idea of quality each apartment has $100 air conditioners from Circuit City. Block is ugly and accross the street from a school, not to mention the projects 100 feet away.
There will be plenty of buyers remorse here.

Do you know how stupid you actually sound?
"When we went to unlock our bike on Friday afternoon, it was literally buried underneath bags of garbage and recycling; when we went into Starbucks to follow up, we were told it was actually the dirty work of the condo building around the corner on Main Street"
Drop the royal "we" it sounds retarded normally, but especially retarded in this context. I mean how many of you own that bike? How many of you did it take to unlock it? We,we,we... Enough already!

"we pedaled past this small memorial in front of 97B Vanderbilt Avenue"
PLEASE STOP... We didn't pass a small memorial. I mean really, how many people fit on your bike? The correct grammer on line or offline is "I passed a small memorial". Drop the we you sound like a 13 year old high school girl.
