Earl W. Jimerson is a self-contained community which consists of 3 fifteen-story buildings containing 422 apartments. It is located on 4 ½ acres of land in the eastern section of Brooklyn at the junction of four neighborhoods: Brownsville; East New York; East Flatbush; and Canarsie. Jimerson is a Mitchell-Lama cooperative housing development supervised by New York State Homes and Community Renewal.

​

The grounds have dedicated landscaped gardens and walkways that Summit and the Board worked to maintain as the centerpiece of the community. There is a landscaped plaza with tall shade trees, flowerbeds, sitting areas as well as 2 underground parking garages. Apartments at Jimerson are coveted because they are oversized and built with families in mind. 

​

Summit understands that regardless of Jimerson’s current financial and physical health, there is a critical need to stay ahead of the natural wear and tear process of 60 year old buildings. Summit continues to identify and execute on the key initiatives that make up a consistent and ongoing capital improvement program. Below is some of the work that Summit has completed in the past few years:

​

• Elevator Modernization including installing doors so odd/even elevators stop on every floor

• Façade Repairs

• New Security Cameras

• New Asphalt Walkways and Concrete Driveway

• LED Lighting Installed Throughout Common Areas

• Renovated Interior of Both Indoor Garages

• Built 1st Gym in 65 Year History of Jimerson

 

Jimerson has provided a safe and beautiful place to raise a family for generations. Summit is proud to have played an important role in that journey for over 25 years.
