I noticed that a lot of the businesses in my neighborhood don't have reviews, so I'll start with…read morethe Peter Young Shelter. Now, I've never stayed at the Shelter, or any shelter for that matter, but this one is very attractive from the outside. Built in a former armory, it looks like a castle with its turrets and big arched doorways. There's been a lot of talk in the neighborhood about the city consolidating other shelters and making the Peter Young location a primary intake center for the area. Naturally no one is excited about the idea of our block being ground zero for the down and out, so here's hoping the city comes up with a better plan. In the meanwhile, I try not to linger outside the shelter and attract any unwanted attention, but I have to say that the interactions I've had with the guys hanging out front have been fairly pleasant. One guy told me I was an angel. Nothin' wrong with that. So for your friendly residents and nice architecture, Peter Young Shelter I give you 3 stars.

It is SOOO strange to write a review for a house of worship! I am not a religious gal (I put the…read mores-e-c-u-l-a-r in secular) - and it's been a lot of years since I've been to any service. I attended a Saturday morning service and Bat Mitzvah, and was impressed as soon as I walked in the building, I was immediately impressed with how light, bright and open everything was. The rabbi has a great personality - his love really comes through. The cantor has one of the most amazing singing voices I've ever heard - she is phenomenal! This is a reform congregation - and as the reviewer Joel mentioned - everyone is welcome! Gay, interfaith, whatever. It's a very warm and inviting place of community. I don't know that I was touched by the spirit to seek out a religious connection - but if that ever were to happen, I'd really hope I could find a place like BHS to call home. It's what a religious institution should be!

WARNING: SERIOUS RAT INFESTATION!!…read more Rented unit #4903 for 3 months. Opened it to find 20+ LIVE RATS had taken over. Video proof below. Everything contaminated with droppings and urine. Multiple items destroyed. Clearly a facility-wide issue as numerous other complaints have been reported. Management's response? Blamed ME for having one sealed food bag in storage and denied all responsibility. Other customers here have mentioned similar rat problems. Health hazard concerns: - Active rodent infestation in multiple units - Potential hantavirus exposure - Facility clearly has inadequate pest control I've filed complaints with NYC Health Department and 311. Currently working on compensation for destroyed belongings. If you're currently storing here: CHECK YOUR UNIT NOW and document everything. If considering this location: Look elsewhere unless you like rap poop and piss on your t-shirts and mattresses. Will update if they resolve this, but so far completely unresponsive to the serious health risks at their facility.

'An urban oasis' first comes to mind when I think about our first visit to Prospect Park. The…read moreoverall experience was certainly positive, with some fine points. As a visitor to the city, finding parking on a weekday afternoon was near impossible, until it became possible after what felt like 25 minutes of searching for a spot. The park is truly sprawling and there are many places to explore, including pavilions, bridges, falls, a pond, a creek, and endless paved trails. We also couldn't help but notice that the park overall may not have been maintained consistently, based on the extensive weeds in fountains, for instance. We saw at least two cafes that had pastries, sandwiches, and beverages on their menu that looked good enough to make us think we'd definitely go there if we lived locally. All in all, I'm grateful for this space being available for locals and visitors to enjoy, and hope it is maintained and stays open for many more years.

I do prefer weekday visits myself. The walking/bike paths are a great way to see the park in its entirety.

It's really a wonderful way to spend a day in Brooklyn, getting away from it all.

Outside Private Contractor Project Renewal runs the Shelter. They are not DHS workers. Their staff…read moreis disrespectful. Especially the females. This is a bad thing. They don't belong in a men's shelter. The food is horrible. Although this is suppose to be a new shelter, they have removed fans, air conditioning, and the water fountain serves up warm water. So when the hot weather comes, people are going to suffer. In the bathrooms, there is no soap to wash your hands, no paper towels to dry your hand, and they removed all of the shower heads so when you try take a shower, it just comes from the overhead pipes. They are also legal thieves. What they do like most Private Contractors is extract taxpayer money from The City, provide little or no services, and then take credit for something that they don't do. For example, you are homeless with no assets. You go meet your case worker where they tell you, You need documentation. Then they tell you to go to HRA to open a case. After that, all they do from that first encounter, they just monitor what you are doing. Once you get the documents that you need, you are on your own. There are no programs to put you in housing nor do they provide program assistance to get you out of the homeless system. To give you an idea how much Project Renewal makes in a month, the City pays about 1500 a bed. Times that by 177 beds equals $265,500 a MONTH. This is just from 1 Shelter. This should give an idea how broken the system is, and how thievery comes into play here. They also don't allow food from the outside to eat in the cafeteria. Stay away if you can. I am trying to get out of here.
