  1. “middagh street, BH promenade”

    If that’s a suggestion for me.
    NO!!!
    Don’t get me wrong. I really like Brooklyn Heights (the people, not so much 🙂 ) and the architecture but I have been there so many times.
    When my partner and I started dated a century ago It was the first brooklyn nabe we did with the AIA guide.

    Last weekend we went on an extensive walk thru the nabe, starting on Atlantic meandering in and out of streets, all the way north to the bridge, checked out the new park they’re building and walked back, again meandering thru streets.

    Middagh Street is great. It has lots of original wood frame houses dating from the 1820’s. Stand in front of the corner house on Middagh and Willow. The house is leaning to the right. I love that house. I call it the Leaning House of Heights.

  2. “According to NYC code, if you are an adjoining neighbor they do have to notify you before starting construction.”
    and what if they don’t? my neighbor did dig deeper in his cellar but I had no idea going on until after the fact. There was some slight damage/settling in my bldg. Unless I suffered serious damage – what could/can I do.
