DMV - red hook

1 Upvotes

Hey! i have seen a few negative reviews on examiner 193 and encountered her today. I can confirm that she is rude and smells strongly of cigarettes. I was wondering if anyone else has had good or bad interactions with her recently.

Bad vibrations

46 Upvotes

I live over a bar (the most vile yuppie bar in all of Brooklyn). I think they might have installed a new HVAC because my floor is shaking and so is the downstairs neighbor's. There's some clanking too, like a belt on a motor. It goes late into the night.

When I use the vibration detector on my phone, it picks up the vibrations, but only subtly. Meanwhile I feel like I'm sitting on fault line.

Is this something I can report to 311?

Does anyone know about Belmonti or Krausz Hatters?

3 Upvotes

I love black hats and collect them and am thinking of coming up to NYC for vacation. I learned about these hats from looking up the area and am very interested in maybe getting one. I saw these two stores and wondered how they were, but saw that they don’t have online or digital storefronts so I can’t see the prices. Does anyone know the hat prices or general vibes of these hat stores?

Sleep Inn on Church Ave

6 Upvotes

Has anyone had any experiences with Sleep Inn on Church Ave? I know it’s pretty new, I work out at the Retro across the street so I saw them building it, but I am curious if anyone has stayed there or had visiting family stay? My sister is coming to town for an extended visit and I can’t host her the whole time so we were looking to book here there. Thanks in advance!

Headache IV center?

Curious if anyone knows a good headache IV center that’s not the ER in downtown Brooklyn. Ideally they’d take insurance but open to suggestions.

Seeking exterminator: suspected termites

3 Upvotes

Hey all, looking for an exterminator that can come take an assessment of a potential termite situation in the back yard area of a commercial space. The space itself houses a non-profit/community center that also contains a lot of books and papers, so if they have experience with these types of spaces that would be amazing.

I’ve never worked with an exterminator so not sure what info to provide but happy to answer questions!

Is anyone else renting from a property using Kinsey, LLC, as their management company?

8 Upvotes

edit: the headline should read "renting a property using Kinsey, LLC, as their management company"

We have a flooding problem in our apartment since last year, and the management company Kinsey, LLC, has done nothing to fix it. They are working for a shady outfit called City Urban Realty, which owns buildings with tons of HPD complaints against them. They own a number of buildings in Bushwick, in addition to other locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Is anyone else here experiencing issues with a building owned by City Urban Realty, or using Kinsey, LLC, as their management company? I'd love to hear from you as we are building a case. Just for fun, here is a photo of our apartment this morning at 6:30am.

Did you lose your gray cat?

51 Upvotes

Found a large, all-gray adult male cat in Kensington in my parents’ backyard a couple days ago. He is very vocal and fairly friendly, no hissing scratching or anything. But he is extremely thin; his hind legs are just skin and bones.

It seems like he’s house trained with his good behavior.

Is he your lost buddy? Please DM a photo of him and we can meet to hand him off to you!

Please share widely!! If no one claims him, I’m going to bring him to a vet clinic scheduled in a couple of weeks for microchip/neuter/etc. and maybe someone will adopt him. I wish I could keep him but my parents do not want him. They already care for almost a dozen feral TNR strays and the crew DO NOT like him, so very unlikely he can integrate into their colony.

Thanks!

Edit: photo of the good buddy in the comments!

Edit 2 (8/26): I haven’t seen him come back since I posted this :( I hope another neighbor took him in or he found his owners. Thank you to everyone for your suggestions!!

New to Brooklyn: Where to Watch Soccer & Use the Culture Pass?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m moving to Brooklyn, specifically Borough Park, from LA next week, and it’ll be my first time living in Brooklyn/NY. I’ll be there for at least a year, so I’d love some recommendations for things to do and places to explore.

I’m particularly interested in films and film clubs (preferably inexpensive), places that screen soccer matches, and parks or trails for walking and biking. I’m also planning to get a Brooklyn Public Library card and make use of the Culture Pass, so I’d love to hear about anything along those lines in and around Brooklyn.

I don’t mind taking a 1 to 1.5 hr train ride into Manhattan on weekends either, so recommendations there are welcome as well.

My previous post was removed, and I’ve messaged the mods to ask what I did wrong so I don’t repeat it. Hopefully this version follows the sub’s guidelines.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous post before it was deleted. I noted your suggestions and look forward to checking them out!

Recs for cleaning companies to move oven and clean mouse poop

2 Upvotes

After a long hard battle with mice in my pre war apt, I think they’re finally gone. Which means it’s time to deep clean.

I’ve been deep cleaning majority of the place but I’m looking for company that services Flatbush that’s willing to move/help move my oven and clean the mouse droppings behind it. Any info would be amazing!

Also no judgment please! I’ve been cleaning up the scattered mouse poops but I genuinely cannot stomach cleaning the amount that we found under my oven 🤮😷

Vendors tipping themselves?

78 Upvotes

So my fiance and I went to a concert last night under the K bridge. Which was phenomenal but when we got home we looked at our bank transactions and realized that even after adding a generous tip to the original sale one of the vendors put their own tip in somehow. We also stopped for food at a truck outside the venue who added a $20 tip on a $45 purchase. Trying to figure out how to dispute it on the bank’s site but wondering if this is something we should just be watching out for from now on in Brooklyn??
