They're unprofessional and don't do they job at all, I apply to them for thework learn and grow program, I got pick late but apply early only they fault and I did the whole enrollment process and never got place to work anywhere at all. I only got pay once out the whole program because they chose to never place me anywhere. I kept calling them, emailing them and even went to the office to try and get place nobody help me at all, so I got a debit card for no reason because these people to ghetto and unprofessional to even care about helping out a young college student that doing the right thing in my life. So whoever apply for the summer youth and the work learn and grow programs again, do not apply to them go somewhere else that will give you better help and service if you really looking for a job and trying to do something positive for yourself.

This place has been in this community for a long time and it provides lots of different services to meet your needs. The College of New Rochelle's Brooklyn campus has closed down and now Mercy College Brooklyn is housed here now. There is an amazing art gallery located on the third floor. Various artwork by different artists is always on display for the general public. The Billy Holiday Theatre also shares space with this wonderful corporation.

Great place to sit and relax I been living in the area for along time so I've seen the before & after changes made at restoration which are great .They always have activates, events & parties which are sometimes free I love the free excerise classes they also have its so wonderful plus free access to a bathroom & a college in the center which is great the foodtown market is ok it's changed alot Resoration changed alot which is great but it still needs a little more Improvements it has a deli I didn't even know was there the deli very small , the people running it arent very nice that's probably why people barley go in it, alot vacant places open such as where Duane Reade use to be and the Avenue clothing store use to be , the applebee's their sucks needs better staff , the chase bank is convenient but needs an upgraded badly there always a long line what happen to the new machines so you can take your own amont of money out why does brooklyn take so long to get stuff it's always a long wait to speak to a banker as well , some of the pavements need to be fixed the bathroom in the center smells and also needs an upgrade , there's a place which is suppose help you get the services you need like tax preparation etc.. but their not that helpful as they should be and the post office there sucks but most of them do especially in BK it's very slow sometimes one worker with huge line some of the workers are in the back when they should be trying to get the line low and needs an upgrade where the city council when you need him!!! other then that restoration is a wonderful place to be and great atmosphere around it

DO NOT GET YOUR TAXES DONE HERE. 1st off I made an appointment at 5pm and didn't leave until 11pm. 2nd: You'll never recieve your city and state! Learned my lesson 2yrs in a row. Trying to save money because they do them for free. I thought it was me and I owed. The IRS said no whoever is doing taxes needs to be retrained. I dnt even want to give the place this star but I can't comment unless it has a star. And y'all supermarket selling 6months outdated food and no public restroom... Just shut down already restoration cause it definitely ain't the same!!!!!

This is a tricky review.

This is a tricky review.

I ve never stepped foot in any buildings, but I come here often. There s always something going on in and/or around the outdoor public spaces...a fair, a festival, a block party.

Most recently, I came here for a dance party that Spike Lee threw in honor of Michael Jackson. I had a blast! It was packed and the vibes were great! It s really great to see this space used for community events like this.

Summer youth employment program here is very unprofessional, very aggravating, and in total just a complete disgrace. Their workers are rude, unconcerned, and unbothered with any problems or issues brought to their attention because they are all only concerned with clocking out and going home. If i could have posted this review without giving any stars, i would have. They talk a big game, saying their door is always open and that issues should be brought to their attention through email and there will be a response but that is NOT the case.

in relation to ikeas comment, I don't think it's unprofessional or ghetto. you have to think of it this way: there's hundreds of summer youth workers and about ten of them... and as far as being ghetto , I don't think it is, I think it's more of the just the workers connecting to us on our level

I take back this review, this place has done nothing but negativity help me and literally has turned everything upside down. Do not go here for psychiatric help they will use you and they will not communicate with you about your Medicaid or any types of status no matter how persistent you are. I thought they were nice until I received my outcome.
