Affordable apartments open in Downtown Brooklyn, but some raise safety concerns
Briefly

A new affordable apartment building at 202 Tillary St. in Downtown Brooklyn is accepting applications for units, with monthly rents for studios starting under $800. Prices vary from less than $800 to over $3,300, with nearly half of the units reserved for NYCHA residents, local community members, and city employees. While some locals express concerns about neighborhood safety due to proximity to a homeless shelter and the Ingersoll Houses, others defend its positive aspects. The New York City HPD emphasizes efforts to address the housing crisis through increased affordable units.
