I’m spoiled in my area now. Livingston is down the street but I find both that street and Fulton (where Boerum is) sketchy for me personally. Yes, the buildings are all great, but I only care about the gym and in unit washer/dryer.


I just got an email about Willoughby and Brooklyn Crossing from MHANY.

Very true! Thats a nice part to be in. Im not living in the neighborhood right now but the neighborhood Willoughby is in seems nice. Willing to make that move. Yes right outside jay st metro tech train is pretty rough to me... Ive not been since 2019 though so might be different. But the bourough hall area is much better imh...

What did they say about Willoughby and Brooklyn Crossing??

I wonder how they determine the rent because there's barely any difference between all 3 of these buildings yet the rent is quite different.. that's all I care about too lol laundry and gym. Don't need much else.

Also, curious as to which area you found sketchy. I used to work around 1 Boerum a few years ago and it was fine but I was never there late into the evening.

Yeah; they’re all in my neighborhood so I’m a bit more harsh in my judgement.


We are writing on behalf of the owners of 18 Sixth Ave., Two beautiful buildings that will are offering apartments to individuals and families with incomes up to 130% of NYC area median income

Currently Live (right now) on HC2.O .

As the apartments are nearly completed, we wanted to circulate information on the apartments and give you advance notice of the NYC HPD administered lottery and Housing Connect.

This Buildings will comprise of studio, one and two bedroom apartments. These units will be available for all NYC residence.


With the housing connect and the management details….

I don’t get it myself. Aside from the street and rent, I find Plank and Brooklyn Crossing way more appealing anyway.

I’m not a fan of Fulton Street early morning or late evening (sometimes questionable characters). Early pandemic (spring/summer) I would go for walks at 6:00/6:30 in the mornings to Brooklyn Bridge Park before I had to log in for work. I made sure I had pepper spray, just felt like I needed to constantly be on edge, but just on that strip. May be different for guys though…


The Livingston building is nice but I find that street a bit dark, questionable characters the few times I walk down there, other times worse than others. I’m sure it will change with the building.


Btw, I’m not trying to shade anywhere, I live in the area, so I’m going by what’s more appealing to me on a personal level and I admit, I’m a little spoiled because of it.

No preferences on this one, hoping I got a shot.

I was just asking out of curiosity. I don't think any of us here are hating the area as a whole (didn't think you were hating, don't worry).
I applied to Plank Road and I'm really hoping for a low log number. I know what you mean about Fulton. During the day it's busy and doesn't feel too bad but I do remember the streetlights being pretty dim. The area has everything you would need and it's super convenient. Also, I'm a girl, not that it matters

I don’t think there are preferences for this lottery (besides NY residents)… if there were, I would be a resident of the community board! Ugh, it kills me!! Bad news for me, good news for everyone else, though!

EDIT: Whoops, misunderstood—thought you were saying that you had no preferences, not that the building didn’t have apts for people w/ preferences, ha

Just called MHANY and they said they’d release log numbers mid-Feb.
