About This Lister

My name is Mark Michener. I have owned 257 12th Street for 37 years. I lived in Park Slope for many years (one of the 5 best neighborhoods in NYC in my opinion) but now live 150 miles away in Pennsylvania. We have worked very hard to repair, restore and maintain this very beautiful 126 - year - old building.
We have developed a great group of professionals (plumbers, electricians, etc.) so we can always immediately respond to anything that requires attention. But after 37 years of upgrades and improvements there is rarely an occasion to call on them.

I am a landlord who wants to know immediately if there is anything in the house that is not as it should be so that I can address it immediately. Other than that, you will never hear from me, and you can enjoy this great old house in peace.

The housemates have described the "vibe" of the house and the type of housemate they are looking for as follows:

"Ideal housemate would be clean, take initiative around the house (taking out trash etc.), be respectful of the other roommates and boundaries, have good communication skills, be friendly although not looking for roommates to be friends with (if it happens naturally that is great). Overall, we hope to find someone who is willing to contribute to keeping the wonderful and peaceful vibe we have going right now.
Recently we’ve put a lot of effort into refreshing the living space with new furniture and art and Mark has kindly updated a lot of the kitchen appliances. Rosa - our delightful cleaning lady comes every two weeks. We’re mainly looking for someone who is easy-going, independent and respectful of the rest of the housemates"
