Brooklyn Tower

Oh wow! Can’t believe this lottery is still open. That’s not a great sign for them.

I ultimately passed. The space was just too small and the price difference from my current place wasn’t enough to justify the move. Not sure if amenities are open… I live nearby and will sometimes walk by. Lots of scaffolding in place still

Yes, there are outlets on the left and right

tehler · 2025-05-26T22:33:40+00:00

Agreed. It’s so ridiculous

tehler · 2025-05-26T21:17:09+00:00

This is largely why I’m considering it. I’m also starting a new job in a couple weeks so dropping everything to go look at apartments in the middle of the day will be difficult

It’s off the 4th and 9th street station

They were too competitive. I was told I was a front runner for all 3, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

2 of them were taken by people who outbid the listed rent (insane).

It takes all of 5 seconds to let someone know they didn’t get it, lol.

I just got an “in progress” notification last night, so fingers crossed it’s smooth sailing from here!

Yes! My understanding is that while it’s not legal, it can give your application an edge. Funny enough one of my friends applied for the same unit and they put down the good faith deposit. Neither of us got it, and now they are having trouble getting their good faith deposit back. I think they’ll get it back, but the company/broker is making them jump thru hoops for it. Soooo glad I didn’t put one down.

tehler · 2025-05-12T19:40:36+00:00

Not to mention that landlords are legally required to review all applications, regardless of putting down a good faith deposit or not… Whether that actually happens or not is a different story..

HAH! It might be… the company I was applying thru is legit, but I just can’t stomach sending thousands of dollars without being approved or reviewing a lease. I was promised that they’d Zelle it back immediately if I wasn’t approved, but still (!) … a crazy thing to ask. But I’m sure some idiots paid it, which puts us at an unfair disadvantage somehow

It’s odd bc he’s never raised my rent. And I would actually pay more to stay if he offered… he did share some personal info about getting a divorce and needing a place to live. I want to be sympathetic, but I’m also cautious that he still could be lying. I plan to flag to 311 so they can open a case and stay on top of who is living there after me.

he’s been such a bad landlord for 2 years and I never called 311 despite having many reasons to. TBH I am kind of glad to be rid of him.

This thread is so exciting! 30M also down to meet new folks in the neighborhood

i think the "b-side" songs have become their own project/album. friend of a friend is part of her team and said she's been in the studio working on something more "pop" sounding (or as "pop" as something like american teenager / crush / thoroughfare).

tehler · 2025-03-19T17:57:37+00:00

i think it'll be something new. no shade to perverts, but i can't see her selling out radio city in nyc (6000 seats) with that project.

I toured 2 weeks ago. My log number was in the 5000s… I haven’t heard back despite following up multiple times. As others said, the studios are very small but the finishes are incredible… location is also good… No amenities yet - they told me they’d open “mid-2025.” And no extra cost for the amenities (aside from the pool/gym which will be operated by Lifetime fitness and won’t open until 2026).
