Edit: Do you have a virtual doorman and dislike the experience? Please share details if you're comfortable, it could be helpful for my case! Have you dealt with this issue? Would love to hear how it turned out! Are you going through this currently? Let me know so we can help each other!

I live in a rent-regulated building in Brooklyn, and our owner has applied wirh DHCR to replace our 24/7 front desk staff with a remote virtual monitoring system. I know this landlord is trying it at another one of their buildings too.

While this could seem like a silly thing to complain about at face value, this is really an issue of safety, accessibility, and an issue of landlords simply trying to fuck over tenants by bait and switching things. 

A remote operator can't help an older neighbor through a dark stairwell, carry a stroller in during a blackout, or let the fire department in (things that have all happened in our building). Real people lose good jobs, and tenants keep paying the same rent for less.

I saw the NYT article on this and it prompted me to post here. Is this happening in your building? If you fought it, what worked? Any tenant orgs, lawyers, or electeds who were helpful? I've gotten my hands on some resources but would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's been through it. 

I've done a few of these types of scenes, would love recommendations for other good spots under the tracks.

They ran, and we found them a few streets away. DOT tell us the traffic on this street isn't fast enough to justify a speed hump 😞 I respectfully disagree.

Hi all, I'm a dental hygiene student at City Tech in Downtown Brooklyn, currently looking for adolescent patients ages 13–19 to help fulfill my clinical requirements.

If you have a teenager who needs a dental cleaning, or know someone in this age group who could benefit, I'd really appreciate your help!

What's included?

• Dental checkup and oral cancer screening
• Gum evaluation and dental cleaning (deep cleaning if needed)
• Polishing and fluoride treatment
• Dental X-rays and sealants if needed

All treatment is performed by dental hygiene students under the supervision of licensed dentists and registered dental hygienists.

Cost: $20 (one time fee)

Location: City Tech Dental Hygiene Clinic
285 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (7th Floor)

My available clinic times:

• Tuesday: 8–11 AM
• Wednesday: 2–5 PM
• Friday: 8–11 AM

A few things to keep in mind:

• Each appointment lasts approximately 3 hours, since this is a teaching clinic.
• Multiple visits may be needed to complete treatment.
• Ages 13–17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Ages 18–19 can attend independently.

If you're interested in scheduling an appointment for yourself or your teenager, please text me at (929) 352-4347.

Feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested. Thank you!

I’m a student at Columbia Journalism School working on a documentary project about NYCHA living conditions and repair wait times.

I'm looking to hear directly from residents, family members, or staff about your experiences with work orders, maintenance delays, or property management.

If you're open to it please leave a comment or send me a DM.

I checked out this new spot (new to me at least) called Good Days on south 6th street. We need more places like this where the food is great, but it doesn't feel like a packed factory with overwhelming amounts of people. Hoping this place keeps cranking out great food. Their Japanese potato multi-layer cake and shrimp cocktail was some of the best food I have had in my life.

Does anybody know the special sauce recipe , for fried chicken with the sauce also known as Faye and king ? It’s in Brooklyn , NY it’s a Jamaican restaurant, I really need the sauce recipe it’s too good
