First Closing at the Vermeil
It finally happened. Someone actually bought a unit at the Vermeil! According to city records, someone paid $2,010,000 for unit 2C and two parking spaces at the pricey Park Slope condo.

It finally happened. Someone actually bought a unit at the Vermeil! According to city records, someone paid $2,010,000 for unit 2C and two parking spaces at the pricey Park Slope condo. There were price cuts at the building in June, and its official website still lists 15 units on the market, with prices going from $899,000 for a 2-bed, 2-bath to $2.1 million for a penthouse. The site also shows that four other units are in contract and there’s an accepted offer on a fifth. Ya gotta wonder whether with all that inventory left there’s gonna be round price cuts before all’s said and done. Still, one’s a start!

you get mad at the people who notice the problem because you wish it weren’t there
The Q train is across the street from this building. Not 3-4 blocks away. (That’s why it’s listed as a selling point by some poster above.)
There is a real dealer presence and problem with muggings and beatings in this entire 3-4 block area. If you chose to ignore it, you are the perfect oblivious park slope style target. The product being sold is not pot, and no I didn’t realize everyone you know smokes pot, since I don’t know you.
Yes- the guy with the eye patch who asks for change has a sense of humor about his situation, but even he stays away from the dealers and gun toters. Ask him if you like about what goes on around there when you are turning the other way.
Peace to all of you- go back to your bliss
“This is a major urban intersection”
Um….7th Avenue and Flatbush is a major Urban intersection??? Compared to what? Rural Ohio???
Flatbush and Atlantic yes…42nd and Broadway, yes, Houston and Broadway, yes…even Flatbush and 5th, which would be a stretch.
But 7th and Flatbush??
You’ve lived in sleepy little Park Slope far too long, dollface.
i’ve walked by here every day for years and never once noticed the open air drug dealing these posters speak of.
there IS a really funny homeless guy who asks for change outside the q though.
you people love to make mountains out of mole hills.
“There is a guy standing outside the Q station”
First of all, that is 3-4 blocks away from the condo being highlighted here today. 3-4 blocks in NYC might as well be a mile.
I’ve never had the problems you seem to have and I’m around here…day/night all the time.
If you don’t think the North Slope is pretty fancy, you need to get out more.
Drug dealing happens in every single neighborhood in the city. Just like there are Meth labs all over the suburbs.
You do realize that every single person I know who lives in Park Slope smokes pot, right?
They gotta get it somewhere….
2:09 PM- if you think that open, organized dealing doesn’t make a place sketchy- you are either a regular customer or you’re just dumb. That’s the sort of voluntary blindness that allowed NYC to slip into the kind of dangerous haze it was enveloped in until the mid-nineties. When there are dealers who are unafraid of flaunting their business on a large scale, you end up with blocks held hostage and violence feeling like a constant threat. Anyone remember Ave B and 7th street- there used to be a guy who would tell you if you could park there or not, and guys pointing guns at you from the rooftops.
There is a guy standing outside the Q station most weekdays surrounded by a bunch of lookouts openly dealing. The cops make busts or walkthroughs almost every week on this set of blocks. There are entire nights where they will pull up all the vans and unmarked and take over all the intersections-happens at least once a monht. It always comes right back after they leave. I’ve seen the lookouts whistle the dealer away as the cops stroll down the street. You’d have to be pretty blind not to notice. At night it’s even more blatant.
I think most people who have to walk their dogs at late at night or get home late from work would acknoledge all this.
Others rush home from the train after a 9-7 workday and don’t go back out and have no idea what happens right in front of their own houses. Ask the doorman on Park Place at the new condo if he thinks it’s safe. He’ll tell you to watch out and talk about all the open dealing he sees as well as the fights and muggings. I live here- I’m not leaving. I love the block and the brownstones, but don’t pretend it’s fancy and super safe. This is a major urban intersection with a 24 hour drug presence that gets worse on weekends when there are more weekenders and drunks on flatbush.
outright accusing nypd of druge trafficking?
The pool hall was just renovated and is QUITE a bit more upscale now. It was just last week highlighted as one of the best pool halls in the city.
I also live around the corner from here, and find that people who have lived in more dangerous areas of Brooklyn pre 1990’s are unable to accept the fact that it has changed. That is apparent in your post, 2:01.
There was sketchy activity on that corner because it was dark and covered with scaffolding with a broken bulb.
That would happen on ANY corner of NYC given those same circumstances. Even Park Avenue.
I don’t argue that there is drug dealing…I just saw someone buy drugs last night on West End Avenue at 84 Street on the Upper West Side.
That doesn’t make it sketchy.
I always see cops around, I rarely if ever see any of the bad element you speak of and I almost never hear about a crime, other than a 4am bar fight.
This area is an extremely safe one. You are painting a picture that makes more sense if this were 1995.
1:17 here- I’ve lived around the block from the building in question for 10 years. I’ve been been involved with the neighborhood and block association efforts to get the drugs off the corner and get the police to face up to the facts of the beating and shooting that go on during the weekend nights on the corner of flatbush and 7th and at the pool hall. I don’t think it’s
a slum of a block like that other poster, but please, don’t ignore what’s going on there. Read the brooklyn rail story recently on how people were afraid to walk these blocks even up through the 90s. (You’ll find nice info on the mural that brownstoner has asked about in the past).
There is an active drug trade on these blocks that radiates out from the flatbush/7th intersection. The police seem to hover around it but it never goes away. Maybe they’re complicit. I don’t see how they can’t be when it’s so out in the open.
While this building was under construction, there was all sorts of scuzzy activity going on in the contruction partitions late at night. People are regularly getting mugged on sterling in this part of town. There was an underpublicized shooting in front of the pool hall on Flatbush- across the street over the holidays.
