Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn · 1 BR · $3,846/mo · active as of 9/28/2026

Nothing below changes the decision for you

This building at Schermerhorn Street has a clean record with zero open HPD violations, zero heat complaints in the past 12 months, and no 311 reports for noise, rodents, or bedbugs during that period. The asking rent of $3,846 is 54 percent above the Brooklyn median of $2,500 for comparable units, so ask the landlord to justify the premium or whether there is room to negotiate. The listing lacks a unit number, which is common on Craigslist and Facebook but makes it harder to verify you are viewing the actual apartment being offered, so confirm the exact unit in writing before your visit. We could not load the listing photos, so you will need to assess the unit's condition, light, and layout entirely in person. Several details including square footage, pet policy, laundry, and elevator access were not provided, so bring a list of questions for the viewing.

Things to check first

  • No unit number; common on Craigslist and FB, harder to verify.
