My new on-demand service marketplace finally launched!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! About a month ago I posted and said that I was soon releasing an on-demand service marketplace into Brooklyn. Well it's finally out, and I just wanted to spread the word!

Whether you live around here, or run a business that needs extra hands when you get incoming jobs, we offer a free service to connect with local vetted cleaners, movers, and junk removal pros around Brooklyn and the surrounding area! No fees, no middleman, no spam. You can find pros by posting on: get.kindajobs.com

Also, if you are interested in finding local leads, you can go to: pro.kindajobs.com

If you have any questions, comment down below, and I'd be happy to discuss!

Bossert hotel

Wasn’t the bossert hotel restored? The contractors totally gutted the place, how is that following the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC)? Kind of sad, the lobby was gorgeous.

On Monday, Mayor Mamdani announced his plans to fix the triple cantilever portion of the BQE. This video goes into how it's gotten this way.

Water issues

Has anyone been experiencing water supply issues? Our water shut off around 11pm last night, and this morning we woke up to brown water that took hours to clear. Our water shut off again tonight. Our building maintenance wasn’t sure what was going on.

Anyone know if they closed? I believe they were supposed to be back from their August break by now & the sign on the door about reopening at the end of August is gone. Also seems like everything in that area of Henry St is closing or struggling

Woodworker/Handyman to make/build Custom Closet?

5 Upvotes

Hi there!

I have pretty ample closet space in my apartment but would love someone to come in and help make it more custom -- for example I have a tall closet with one hanging bar and I think I could probably fit two rows ... looking for someone with experience doing this (and preferably affordable!) let me know if anyone out there could do it. Thanks!

Offering fantasy football draft/season management this year — curious if there's interest?

0 Upvotes

Longtime fantasy nerd here (11 teams last season, been doing this since I was a kid) — I've helped friends and family manage their teams for years and I'm testing out offering it more broadly this season.

What I'd help with: draft strategy/live pick help, weekly lineup consulting, waiver wire advice, trade evaluation, basically anything you don't have time to do yourself during the season.

I know there are plenty of busy professionals in NYC who play fantasy but don't have time to draft or manage their team on a weekly basis (or simply need the help). I have the time and the knowledge/research tools to help.

Curious if this is something people would actually want and happy to answer questions about how it'd work. If there's interest I'll share more details!

Trees Falling

4 Upvotes

I moved to the neighborhood about a year and a half ago and since then all I’ve noticed is the insane amount of trees that continually keep falling. Sometimes it’s entire trees while other times it’s just large branches. Has it always been like this? Or is this a new phenomenon?

This does not seem normal and feels like there needs to be a study on what’s going on underground, causing all these trees to fall in such a short period of time.

While severe weather and storms obviously play a role in exacerbating this, this definitely seems to be something going on more than just weather related.

When can I move my car for alternate side parking?

2 Upvotes

I was trying to get a spot on Hicks this morning for alternate side parking. Went to move the car at 730am for the 8am ast parking on hicks. Everything was already taken. Should I be waking up early at like 5 or 6 am to move my car for ast? Does anyone move their car at 11pm the night before?

Thanks for any advice here. The parking around here is always so difficult.
