r/DUMBO

I was walking into DUMBO market tonight, 5/18, around 7:35 and people were yelling. Does anyone know what happened? I turned around and left as I wasn’t sure what was going on.

With the hot weather this week, inquiring minds want to know if the water has been turned on yet this season? 💦

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I want to do a side hustle taking photos for people locally or for tourist on Washington street or Brooklyn Bridge park. Is $30 a reasonable price for a quick 30 minute shoot?
Will be using Nikon z 6 iii so I think it can produce decent photos.

DSNY just dropped a proposed rule that’s going to affect your building directly. They are expanding the mandatory on-street trash container pilot into our area (Brooklyn CD2).

Here is the timeline:
👉 Buildings with 31+ units: Mandatory city bins by Oct 15, 2026.
👉 Buildings with 10–30 units: You have to either opt into the city bins OR buy your own approved rigid containers.
👉 The opt-in window is July 1 to July 31. If you miss it, you're automatically in the program.
👉 Fines start at $100 and go up to $300.

Building owners are going to be responsible for keeping them clean, clear of snow/ice, and keeping 1.5 feet of clearance around them.

If you want to weigh in, there is a public hearing on June 17 via Teams, or you can email comments to nycrules@dsny.nyc.gov.

I was reading through the full city procurement drop for today, and there’s also nearly $1M in summer youth job funding going to St. Nicks Alliance for Brooklyn. You can see all the exact rules, fines, and contract numbers here:
