When we first posted about the big new rental on 4th Avenue and Baltic a couple of months ago, the general consensus about the building’s design was more or less summed up by one comment: Beaten badly by the Ugly Stick. Again and again. Nevertheless, the development brings the first batch of new-construction rentals to the Boerum Hill-Park Slope-Gowanus border area on 4th (the avenue has, of course, otherwise been flooded with condos builds), and so it’ll be interesting to see how much demand there is for these apartments. Listings have gone up for one- and two-bedroom units in the building at 126 4th Avenue (ready for move-ins by March), and they’re looking to get between $2,400 and $2,500 for the one-bedrooms and around $3,000 for the two-bedroom, 1-baths. Amenities include central air and many of the units have terraces, but tenants have to pay for their own utilities. Rosetta Farrell, the Heights Berkeley Realty agent who’s handling the listings, says the rents are standard for the area, and that she expects the apartments to be snapped up quickly given the dearth of new rentals in the Slope. Considering all the amenities and the fact that it’s a new building, I think they’re very reasonable, says Farrell.

Why do people keep saying this place has central air? Look at the picture people. It has Fedders, those ugly through the wall units. That is NOT central AC
Who would want parking? This building is only a couple blocks from more subway lines than you can imagine.
So you make $150k and would choose to live this crapshack?
Didn’t think so.
i’ve got money to burn, 5:52.
landing this 150K a year job at 25 lets me do pretty much anything i want.
and the contract through 2012 helps with the job stability.
god i love ny!
4:17 – Are you seriously willing to pay $750 (about a 40% premium) more per month for central a/c and w/d?
yes.
4:32 – get a window a/c and a sponge and save yourself $9000/yr. In a couple of years, you can save enough $$ for a down payment on one of these units.
I could build a better looking building out of rats and needles. But my proposal was rejected because I didn’t know who to blow.
I like the way this looks a lot better than the rat and needle infested lot that stood there before it.
But what do I know.
Amen, 5:08! But they can comfort themselves by drying their tears with the central AC.
I’m just glad this ugly build-o-rental ain’t in my hood.
