Katz's. Duh.

" A year ago, I probably would have felt obligated to stop and check if the kid was OK, but we have a new precedent now. Due to Councilwoman DeGise and all the other hit-and-run drivers since then, I had the confidence to just keep driving and go on with my day as if nothing happened. "

Can Fulop actually do anything to remediate? Does he have the power to remove members of the Council?

It's just you.

Yep. It's total horseshit. I'd stay far away from this listing.

The mgt company doesn't do the actual maintenance--if they can be bothered, they make a call to one of their vendors (who invariably gives them a cut), and the tenant is then on their own. They'll likely be paying full freight for that minor (i.e., $400) plumbing repair.

Former landlord here. This is NOT typical. You are NOT responsible for maintenance--that is the landlord's responsibility (obviously, if you break something, you are responsible for repair costs--but not routine maintenance, and certainly not appliances (again, unless you did something to cause the issue).

They are using the Mgt Company as a buffer because they don't want have direct interaction with their tenants. Fine. But this will cause massive headaches for your friend (when it comes to maintenance requests or reporting problems with the unit).

I'd look elsewhere.

I had an original 2600--thing lasted almost 30 years! And the damndest thing? The controllers--despite taking ungodly abuse for decades--still worked at the very end (the rubber sleeves eventually popped off, but the joystick itself still worked fine).

"The incident occurred at 40 Journal Square at 10:30 a.m., Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said."

Recommend for what?

I like it, actually! (Can't say the same for the cookie-cutter, low-quality, shoebox apartments inside--though the lobby is quite nice)

Given your age and the need to be near the NJ Transit station, I'd say Hoboken is the easy pick. And JC is a 10-min Uber.

+2. TB's is legit disgusting now.

Nice list, though I'd drop Supremo and Stop and Shop waaaaay down. Both are gross nightmares

Glad you asked! It sounded just like a micro-penis turtling in response to the woman behind the counter at AutoZone.

Something to keep in mind: If you're doing a gut reno, your inspection needs are a bit different than someone buying a place with minor issues or or in need of cosmetic upgrades. you might want to go with an engineer or even an architect. Most inspectors have a checklist of the basics, but you may need a deeper dive into structural issues.

Fourthing. Excellent advice. Roofing should be looked at by a specialist.

Yes! I heard these assholes as well.

It seems like you've made a pretty compelling case on your own re: ditching the car. do it!

As for me: Born and raised in the suburbs, so always lived a very car-centric life (including a stint in the Bay Area). Moved to Hoboken in 2006, and, like you, my car basically sat in the garage all week, with weekend trips to visit family.

Sandy hit, and I lost the car to the flood. Just assumed I'd replace it because... well, because I always had a car! One month goes by, then another. I realize... I don't miss the car at all.

It's now been 10 years, and I still don't miss it (I live DTJC, which isn't quite as convenient as Hoboken re: walkability, but is obviously excellent in this regard).

I used Sal Grasso for years -- can recommend without hesitation. he's not cheap, but he's good. Office right next to the PATH.

Just registered for my card! Thanks for posting.

Right. But expanding this stretch does nothing to alleviate the issue. They can't add lanes to the Holland Tunnel approach. All this does is make the existing bottleneck--which is brutal--much, much worse.

I voted for Murphy. Twice. But this boondoggle prelude to a Presidential run is appalling. There is zero justification for this project.

Since the OP is afraid to name names (for some reason none of us understand), I'll say that the Boil are sneaky bastards who present you with a tip screen AFTER they've already added 20% to the bill. I'll never go back.

Right?
