Apartment Cleaning Fort Greene

Fort Greene is one of the most architecturally intact Victorian brownstone neighborhoods in Brooklyn, bounded by Flatbush Avenue to the west, Atlantic Avenue to the north, Vanderbilt Avenue to the east, and DeKalb Avenue to the south, with Fort Greene Park at its center. The residential streets radiating outward from the park, South Oxford, South Portland, Carlton Avenue, Washington Park, Cumberland Street, Adelphi Street, and the cross streets between them, are lined with Italianate and Romanesque Revival brownstones built between the 1860s and the 1890s that have been maintained, converted, and lived in by successive generations of Brooklyn residents.

The apartments in these buildings have surfaces that modern construction simply does not produce. Original strip hardwood floors in oak or pine, laid in the 1880s and 1890s and refinished at various points since, with gaps between the boards that collect whatever the apartment produces. Plaster walls with a fine aggregate surface texture that holds dust in the material itself in a way that smooth drywall does not. Bathrooms with hex tile floors and subway tile walls installed in the 1940s and 1950s with grout that has been in use for seventy or eighty years. Nine and ten-foot ceilings in the upper floor units, twelve-foot ceilings in the parlor-floor units. Crown molding where it was not removed during a renovation. In the better-preserved parlor-floor apartments facing the park, original marble fireplace mantels in the formal rooms.

Beyond the building stock, the apartment cleaning conditions in Fort Greene are shaped by several neighborhood-specific factors. Fort Greene Park sits at the center of the neighborhood and is a 30-acre park with a significant population of old American elm trees and ornamental flowering trees along its paths and boundaries. In April and May, the pollen from these trees moves east and south from the park on the prevailing winds and comes through the open windows of apartments on the park-adjacent blocks, depositing a fine organic layer on hardwood floors, window sills, and horizontal surfaces that continues settling from the indoor air for up to twenty-four hours after the windows close. For apartments on South Oxford, South Portland, Washington Park street, and the cross streets between them and the park, the spring pollen situation is a genuine apartment cleaning challenge that adds to the normal weekly accumulation in a specific and measurable way. The Brooklyn Navy Yard, which occupies the waterfront to the north of the neighborhood along Flushing Avenue, produces vehicle and industrial exhaust particulate from its ongoing manufacturing and commercial operations that moves south on northerly winds into the residential blocks on the north end of the neighborhood, closest to Myrtle Avenue. For apartments on the north-facing side of buildings in this part of Fort Greene, the window sill accumulation from the Flushing Avenue corridor is an additional cleaning consideration. The Atlantic Terminal and Barclays Center area at the southwestern edge of the neighborhood, where Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues meet, brings commercial and transit corridor conditions, event crowd foot traffic, and the combined pedestrian and vehicle activity of one of Brooklyn's busiest intersections into the cleaning picture for apartments on the blocks closest to this area. Our apartment cleaning service in Fort Greene is built around what is actually in these buildings and what this neighborhood actually produces on the surfaces inside them.

The Victorian brownstones on the residential blocks are the architectural core of the neighborhood, and the apartments in them, from the garden level below the stoop to the parlor floor to the upper residential floors, all have their own version of the Fort Greene cleaning picture. The parlor-floor apartments have the highest ceilings and the most formal original detail. The top-floor apartments have the best light and the closest relationship to whatever the roof is doing in terms of moisture and condensation in the colder months. The garden-level apartments have direct access to the rear yard or the below-stoop entry and the specific tracked-in situation that comes with it.

The first is the move-in deep cleaning for new tenants in brownstone apartments. Fort Greene brownstone apartments change hands at a regular pace, and the previous tenant's cleaning history is not always apparent when you sign the lease. Moving into an apartment and discovering that the bathroom hex tile grout has accumulated years of mineral deposit, that the oven interior has not been cleaned since a previous administration, and that the window tracks have a season's worth of pollen and street particulate packed into the frame channels is a Fort Greene new-tenant experience that we address regularly. A deep cleaning before your furniture goes in is the right starting point.

The second is the post-pollen deep cleaning in late May or early June. The elm and flowering tree pollen from Fort Greene Park accumulates over the April through May window in the park-adjacent apartments in a way that the standard biweekly visits address but do not fully resolve. A thorough post-pollen deep cleaning in late May, once the bloom has ended and the windows can close for a period, addresses the season's accumulation on the floor surfaces, the window sills and tracks, and the horizontal surfaces near the west-facing windows in a way that resets the apartment for the summer.
