This is the worst intersection in downtown Brooklyn. Major confusion. There needs to be a turn signal at Sixth Ave onto Atlantic Avenue in both directions. This is a major accident waiting to happen and have many times come close to being hit. You have been warned City of New York. It's a joke that no one is fixing this corner.

There is constantly Black Smoke being emitted from the boiler at 30 Cooper St. It looks as if the building is on fire. It smells terribly bad and we have to close our windows

Since 10pm 2/12/2014

We have had no heat the entire winter and now the hot water is cut as well. The super has posted a sign that stated that we will not have any hot water nor heat from January 06 till January 20.

Since November, we have repeatedly reported problems with heat by text, email, and occassionally phone. Specifically, that it is regularly between 55 and 58, even when the temperature is set at 70, 72, or 74. Last week, one bedroom was 43 and another was 60. The thermostat was at 72. We have worked with the landlords to address the problem -- for example, putting plastic over the windows, and exploring other solutions such as increasing the pressure on the boiler so that heat would distribute better to the other rooms. The problem remains, and turning up the heat is not a solution because the heating system simply does heat the apartment. We have repeatedly reported that when the heat is on or we turn it up the heat, little comes out.

On January 4, we discussed options with the landlord, who identified three problems: 1) insulation was missing from the floor in one of the rooms; 2) three of the rooms did not have an adequate number of heaters installed; and 3) the need to increase the pressure on the boiler. She also thought one bedroom was probably not insulated, but because the room was advertised as a bedroom, it was set up as such.

The increase in boiler pressure did not work. Neither, as far as know or have been told, has work begun to address the other problems the landlord identified. Over the past several weeks, the pilot light has repeatedly blown out, leaving us without heat at all. As of Saturday, Feb. 1st, the repairman had not come. Fixing a pilot light, however, has only ensured that tepid heat comes out.

Regardless of the outdoor temps, heat delivery in this building is at 5 am, 12 pm and 9 pm - period. This is clearly an outrageous flaunting of the NYC heat regulations. (And heat was not delivered at all until well into November.)

I believe this intersection was modified in the past year or so. There is now a lane to go straight (marked with 1 arrow on the pavement) and a lane to go right (also marked with 1 arrow). Well, either people don't pay attention or can't see the arrows when there is traffic, because people are constantly going STRAIGHT from the RIGHT TURN lane!! This will clearly cause an accident at some point if it hasn't already! I even got stuck running a red light yesterday because someone cut me off from the right hand turn lane! There needs to be more signs here so people know what's going on!! Would be better too if the lanes were actually lined up properly, so you didn't have to move over to the left to get into the lane to go straight and then go back to the right.

Since 10 pm from January 22, 2013 landlord NOT heat and NO hot water.

Out of service AGAIN, approximately one month after loss of service lasting over a month. Obviously antiquated, unreliable, possibly unsafe. This is unacceptable for an island with a large population of disabled and elderly resident, not to mention people with baby strollers and bicycles. This elevator seems beyond repair and should probably be replaced; and a full-time attendant should be provided in the interim for the now highly inaccessible emergency/handicapped elevator. Absolutely appalling callousness to the needs of an island population with limited means of transportation.

I haven't been able to have a hot shower last more than 90 seconds in the past two weeks. I have called 311 about this three times so far. The first time I got a complaint number that they couldn't find on file when I called a second time. The second time I called, the HPD resolved it and I still have cold showers. I called a third time and filed another complaint, so we'll see how that goes.

This has been there for a few months and I notice new graffiti appearing nearby
