    "There is easy access to a park nearby that dogs can run and play. However, most dog owners don’t clean up after themselves and it gets annoying"

    "It's not......you need to BE WELL AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. Especially at late nite hrs. I've just move in the area this past early MAY.....and I'm looking to move out of the area I'm now in. Too much BOOMING out on the street MUSIC from persons or person who live in the area. It's NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND moving to just any area. BROWNSVILLE Brooklyn is much better then THIS. Even though there's 2 many shootings........"

    "i was born and raised in the south bronx. it's authentic, and it's real new york. the community looks out for each other but people are suffering due to lack of resources and funding. that's an extreme understatement to keep it short. but the people thrive despite all kind of adversity and against all odds. outsiders may have a hard time fitting in without respecting and overstanding all of this and more.

    "Dog owners around this area are not very friendly, they are careless about what their dog does. There’s a lot of garbage in the streets so you would need to watch your dog and make sure the dog does not pick up any random object and swallow it. "
