First time owner of brownstone

For recycling, bag or bundle it. We’ve got a newer neighbor that just dumps loose paper (think mail and shredded paper) in the can and puts it on the curb and a strong wind sends the paper everywhere (and they never clean it up). For bottles/cans recycling, don’t tie the bag shut because the can collectors might rip it open and make a mess but I’ve found that if you leave it easy to open, they don’t make a mess.

Do you have a street tree? If so, I’m sure some of us can give you advice on that.

Get leak alarms (search Amazon) and put them anywhere you might not immediately notice water (near water heater, plumbed appliances, under a kitchen sink) and they can save you a lot of hassle–they beep when they detect water which can take a while in some spots.

Victor brand mouse zappers are great if you have mouse problems. Terro ant poison is my go to for ants.

I use https://www.yelp.com/biz/nationwide-sewer-and-drain-repair-service-brooklyn
They are very nice, prompt and affordable. I caveat this with the statement that I have used them for clean-outs only; this recommendation does not extend to sewer line replacements or other plumbing work. They may be perfectly good at that, but I cannot comment specifically on their work in that regard.
