By Brick Underground | August 19, 2024 - 9:30AM

Welcome to our bi-annual Best of Brick week. Over the next five days, while our staff is on vacation, we’ll be posting our most popular and instructive stories, such as how to negotiate a lease renewal, prepare for a co-op board interview, deal with noisy neighbors, and ask the best questions to figure out if a potential roommate is a good match.

We'll have comprehensive guides on moving to New York City, co-op reference letters, and rent-stabilized apartments.

Also coming this week are articles aimed at co-op and condo boards, such as how to choose a commercial tenant and upgrades that can reduce the impact of flooding and extreme weather.

Stay cool and read up, so you can be fully informed to tackle your real estate goals for fall, whether it is buying, selling, renting, or renovating an apartment or house in NYC or the suburbs.
