Placement on a brownstone block
There are no driveways on most Park Slope blocks, so nearly every unit lands curbside between parked cars, and that spot is the whole game. We measure the gap, set the unit so the door clears the sidewalk and the bike lane, and keep it away from the hydrant and the corner. On a renovation we tuck it as close to the stoop or the front yard as the frontage allows.
A curb or sidewalk placement in the Slope often needs a permit, so check with the city or DOT and building or co-op management before the date.
Brownstone jobs and block-party days
Gut renovations and facade work behind the sidewalk sheds off Seventh and Fifth Avenues take a standard unit and a handwashing station for the length of the job. When a block closes for a summer party or a school fair spills toward Prospect Park, an ADA accessible unit and a couple of standard units keep the day moving. For a stoop wedding or a backyard reception, the climate-controlled restroom trailer brings real sinks and a finished feel to a small footprint.
Coordinating with the co-op and the calendar
Slope buildings run on boards and management, so we work with the schedule you are given and set the unit where it will not block a shared entrance or a neighbor's window. Spring and fall bring the block parties and stoop sales, summer the weddings and camps, and winter the quieter renovation stretch. We add freeze protection in the cold and keep servicing through snow so a curbside unit stays clean all season. On a long gut renovation we will right-size the unit count as the crew grows and shrinks, so you are never paying for more than the block and the job need.
