Participatory Budgeting Time!

Hi! If you live, work or play in District 35 (council Member Hudson’s district in Crown Heights and Prospect Heights) - please remember to participate in Participatory Budgeting! Vote with your heart for the top five issues that matter to you.

We are hoping that tree guards will be funded this year! Here’s why - the average life span of a street tree in NYC is 7 years, that means many trees never get to deliver their full benefits to neighborhoods, specifically their cooling powers during ever hotter months. Larger trees also foster biodiversity which is correlated with better neighborhood wellbeing. Tree guards reduce direct dog pee and poop on trees, reduces foot traffic over soil and roots and can reduce trash buildup reducing the potential for root rot or rodent habitats.

Looking for Lost Keys

Looking for my keys that I lost from the corner of Bedford and Eastern Parkway, on either side of the walk way until the corner of classon and eastern parkway. It may have fallen In McNair Park as well.

My keys have a fob so it’s a pain to get a new set for that. There is a translucent red/yellow keychain attached.

Local Accountant/Tax Preparer?

It's too late for this year, but for the current year and the future...

Do you have any recommendations for a local accountant/tax person? I have W-2 employment but my husband is self-employed and despite our adult ages we suck at keeping up with taxes appropriately. Every year we forget about the whole 'quarterly taxes for self employed folks' thing. Then we end up paying penalties which is super annoying.

I would love to have someone to work with who is local and knows the ins and outs of freelancing/self employment/income from foreign sources. I'd like to request someone with realistic rates but that varies by person/household so just... yeah. Please share your suggestions! Maybe it will benefit someone besides us since it seems like 3 out of 4 folks here have a side gig.

Local Dog Walker/Sitter

Hi everyone!

As we approach warmer weather, I want to post here about my pet sitting offerings! We provide walks, boarding, drop-ins and overnight sits.

I have great client reviews with over 8 years of experience. I’ve had clients from this page, and they would be more than happy to vouch for me and my team.

Even though we are based in the Crown Heights area, my team and I travel around the city for my clients! Requests are filled by my team and myself on a week to week basis.

Please feel free to DM me as you plan your travels!
