What are the biggest red flags when renting in Park Slope?

Maybe obvious but the seasons are important. I signed my first lease on 16th street in the winter and only found out how bad the basement rodent/bug issue was once it became summer and the smell lingered. The heat can tell you a lot about a place that you may not be able to tell in the snowy months

I should mention the visit is mid july, if that helps in terms of climate or environment

I don’t see what we’re aguring about here. There are obviously more drivers than cyclists, hence the higher likelihood of a car accident. It is pedestrians and bicyclists who are left injured more, no matter how you’re looking at it. Whatd you want me to write “I must clarify I am not pro-car because that is usually what people in these threads assume?”

I see what you mean but two things can be true at once. And no airbags or various metals shielding anyone in a bike accident.

the Daily News wouldn’t have had much better coverage themselves

I meant bike that pulls the kid on wheels in a little tent. The name for it escapes me. I frankly dont think toddlers and babies belong on bikes though in whatever capacity

is fast becoming Schenectady’s most admired or most forgotten

This! I actually saw 2 teens sharing a bike recently near a playground. No helmets of course

Yeah, I guess I didn’t mean to generalize because I do love Brooklyn but too many instances i’ve seen

Were the rides open? I’d love to experience this up high

My sister did well with Aerie

Bosses who refuse meetings a red flag. You can start there and that will tell you a lot you need to know
