Upload Photos & Get Quote →Brownsville has the densest concentration of NYCHA public housing in NYC — roughly two-thirds of the neighborhood's residential stock sits in NYCHA-managed buildings. The largest complexes include Howard Houses, Van Dyke Houses, Brownsville Houses, Tilden Houses, Marcus Garvey Apartments, Langston Hughes Apartments, Glenmore Plaza, Seth Low Houses, and Ocean Hill-Brownsville's adjacent stock. Together they cover most of the blocks between East New York Avenue (north), Linden Boulevard (south), Saratoga Avenue (west), and the Brownsville-East New York line (east).
Operationally, NYCHA work is straightforward — we pull up to the curb, the tenant brings the item down or we go up via the freight elevator, same flat rate regardless of floor. NYCHA's monthly bulk pickup doesn't cover same-day or heavy items, so JunkRabbit gets the fast-turnaround calls.
The remaining residential stock is small attached two-family houses and walk-up apartments on the southern blocks. Pitkin Avenue is the historic main retail corridor (anchored historically by the Loew's Pitkin Theatre at Pitkin and Saratoga). Belmont Avenue hosts the long-running Belmont Avenue Market — the oldest outdoor market in NYC.

"Uploaded a photo of my old couch and had a quote in literally 7 seconds. Hauler showed up same day. Way cheaper than 1-800-GOT-JUNK."
"Moved out of my Williamsburg apartment and needed everything gone. JunkRabbit cleared the whole place in 2 hours. The pricing was transparent — no surprises."
"Had a fridge and washer to get rid of. They handled the heavy lifting from my 4th floor walk-up. Price was exactly what the quote said."
