Saw the 5th street house in PS. There is no english basement (as advertised). All of the units are in fair shape, top floor is nicest, but needs new kitchen and bath, second floor could use some cosmetic work (also new kitchen and bath). could not view 1st floor apt.
jw, maybe you could start with the landlord of kush cafe, (putnam and grand). i heard he wants to clean the area up. he owns many buildings in the area and got rid of the ‘aquarium’. he also rented to that nice flower shop on the corner of cambridge and fulton. badgering the 88th precinct can’t hurt but generally complaints fall on deaf ears.
I’m with you Anon 11:35. Let’s shut it down and clean up Fulton, Putnam and Classon. Where do we start?
Those blocks of Quincy (between Lewis and Broadway) are on the whole really, really pretty–quiet and leafy and many beautiful facades. But, I agree that the Quincy St house, from what I can see of it, is probably a bit overpriced, although relatively convenient in terms of transportation and you’d be amazed at what’s happening a few blocks away in Bushwick. There are lofts there to die for and some definitely interesting storefronts.
Sorry if I keep posing this but I will until we seriously talk abou it!!!!
Let’s get rid of the Methadone clinic
This is what other people have done this is just for the best of our comunity I have a son that goes to PS11 this is not the scene you want to see every morning.

the cost of high quality renovations is, i’m learning, exceptionally expensive. perhaps that’s why brownstoner is always thinking things should sell for a lot more money than lots of people on this site believe they are worth. thinking about this because the 14th street house was totally and beautifully done. just the cost of buying a messed up house, or a marginally kept house, and updating it beautifully would put you way over $2m for a 3 story house in the S. Slope. Curious what’s going to give first, if anything, construction prices or resale prices. thoughts??
i recall that the 14th st. house was listed at over 2 million at one point, but that is most likely the result of an over-ambitious seller setting the price. happens all the time. 2 million is too much for a 3 story in the south slope, even on a gorgeous block.
“If you like the idea of 364 Degraw St and have a little more to spend 229 Bergen is larger and is in very good condition for $1,649,000. It is an owner’s 2BR duplex with two rental floor-thru’s. It’s listed with Cobble Heights Realty.”
it is very good value for a 20 footer with FAR to spare on a nice block. Now the negatives:
* small and older kitchen
* low ceilings for the garden floor bedrooms
* narrow and trick stairs down to the garden floor bedrooms
* a lot of width wasted in the entrance
To make it work you’d have to punch out the back and extend (to match the condo neighbor nextdoor), and/or make an owners triplex over a garden rental – building two new kitchens. Probably $400k extra?
“Anon at 2:47 again. I am pretty sure the 14th street place dropped its price twice. It was originally listed at something like 2.2 or 2.3.”
Not that I know of, and I live on that block.
