Frequently Asked Questions

Can you live in Brooklyn with a dog?

Yes, you can live in Brooklyn with a dog. Brooklyn is typically a little bit slower pace than other boroughs in New York City, like Manhattan. As a result, you won’t be as stressed about your pets well-being. 

Can landlords refuse pets in NYC?

If the tenant has kept a pet “openly” and “notoriously,” if the landlord or his agent has known of the pet for three months or more, and if the landlord does not begin a court case to enforce the no-pet clause, then according to the Pet Law, a landlord is deemed to have waived his right to enforce a no-pet clause.

Is Brooklyn dog friendly?

Certain Brooklyn neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg, and Park Slope are known to be dog-friendly neighborhoods.

Where can I take my dog in Brooklyn?

There are plenty of parks that allow dogs in Brooklyn. One of the biggest ones is Prospect Park which offers acres of green fields for off-leash hours (6am - 9am and 9pm - 1am). Spaces include Long Meadow (except the ballfields), Nethermead ,and Peninsula Meadow. There’s even a place to swim - Dog Beach. Dogs must be leashed at all other times.

Are pet fees legal in NYC?

There are some landlords that may charge a rent fee for a pet and there are no New York or federal laws that prohibit such practices. However, if someone with a disability has a service animal, then charging a fee for the pet would violate the tenant's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
