Wow. This is wonderful and much needed. I watched the building of Woodhull Hospital many years ago and always suggested that they build affordable housing for residents and employees. I knew several nurses that lived in area and worked in that hospital. I hope many folks are helped with this housing now, I know it’s not enough but it’s a start.
Wow! Bed-Stuy area has certainly improved with the construction of many new affordable buildings. I always wondered why buildings weren’t made with so much abandoned land available. I guess it’s thank you to Nsyor Adams who has certainly improved Zthe borough of Brooklyn.
I pray that these buildings are maintained well and security employee(s) do their job. Much attention needed to preserve the acceptable conditions and standards of this building. If you slack off., there goes the building and neighborhood.
This is JUST in Bed-Stuy
Excellent! This building is a necessity! Seniors surely need affordable housing in this area. I am in agreement with the comments written by Barbie. I lived in this area years ago;dad attended appointments at the Woodhull Hospital. I wish everyone lots of luck in applying for an apt here!
