Ms Sharron J Kennedy-Frost initiated the Poetry & Jazz Café for ten years in Public School 328, located at 330 Alabama Avenue in East New York Brooklyn. What started out as a math lesson turned into the Phillis Wheatley Poetry & Jazz Café. The purpose of the Café was to teach math in a memorable way, raise money for instruments and more importantly to introduce the students to the idea of entrepr

eneurship. The café was a success ( student operated, staff and community supported ). It was met with enthusiasm from the students, staff and community at large, After, four years of operation we had our first celebrity visit by Mr. The ideal was so successful and heartwarming that it inspired the idea to for me to eventually open Word Up Cafe. The cafe raised enough money to purchase instruments and produce the PW Jazz Band.

🏙️ Looking for an apartment in NYC? Start preparing BEFORE you start looking.

One of the biggest mistakes renters make is waiting until they're ready to move before getting their paperwork and finances in order.

Here's a simple timeline:

📅 **2-3 Months Before Moving**
✅ Figure out your budget.

Most landlords want to see annual income equal to **30-40 times the monthly rent**. If you earn $80,000 per year, your budget shouldn't be much higher than about $2,600/month, and closer to $2,000/month will give you more options.

✅ Check your credit.

Many landlords prefer scores above 700. If your score is lower, review your credit report, correct any errors, and take steps to improve it before you apply.

💰 Start saving for move-in costs:
• First month's rent
• Security deposit
• Broker fee (if applicable)
• Moving expenses

📅 **1 Month Before Looking**
Gather reference letters from your employer and current landlord.

📅 **1 Week Before Looking**
Have these documents ready to go:
• 2 months of pay stubs
• 2 months of bank statements
• Last year's tax return and W-2
• Photo ID
• Credit report

Keep everything in a digital folder so you can submit an application immediately.

The NYC rental market moves fast. The best apartment doesn't always go to the highest earner—it often goes to the applicant who is most prepared.
