We rented a place there (206 Spencer) last year and had to break our lease because our landlords were so negligent and unreliable. The apartment basically started crumbling down around us and we stayed because of the cheap rent ($1000/month). When we moved out, they posted the apartment on craigslist as "A freshly painted, beautiful 2 bedroom with huge windows." If you call painting an apartment a year ago freshly painted, then yeah. And the windows are so old they're falling out of they're frames. It's dangerous. I noticed that they also jacked up the rent to $1300/month! I'm assuming they couldn't find anyone to rent the apartment, because it was up on craigslist again a few weeks ago for $1200. Here is the link: http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/nfb/551175244.html There are also giant condo buildings across the street and next door, so while the inhabitants of Spencer street are living in crap houses, you get to see happy little families getting in and out of their hybrid cars! (What's hilarious is that I'm pretty sure the condo across the street is able to get Fresh Direct delivery!!!) Please don't give these awful landlords your money!! I am proud to say that we still live in the 'Sty on Greene at Nostrand, and are enjoying our neighb so much more. Thanks for your blog- it's great!

Good catch. Such a difference in the price. I think $800K is too much, but $600K seems too low, unless all the work that was described on your link still needs to be done, which would mean a gut reno. Changing the plumbing is a lot of work.
