What? No! The OP should DEFINETLY get a lawyer! And remember: You get what you pay for! Don't just hire the ambulance chaser with the lowest hourly. You should be looking for $500/hr+

You need to name these places so we can keep our eyes open. Just say something like "I noticed what I thought was a discrepancy on my bill from xxxxx. Still gathering information."

Reply to Is moving to NJ (JC/Hoboken/Weehawken) from Florida worth it to live and experience NYC? by virginiarph
Worth it? Absolutely. Just know what you're getting into (cost of living being the primary consideration here).
Few things:
- Forget Weehawken (with apologies to the Weehawken boosters in this sub). It's not what you're looking for in terms of vibe or convenience (The Pt. Authority bus station is the 10th circle of Hell).
- JC is BIG. So you'll really want to limit your apt search to the areas within a short walk to the PATH. JC Heights is only a mile or two from DTJC, but in terms of commute/accessibility to NYC, it might as well be in another county (i.e., 10-15 mins vs 45-60 mins).
- The "Hoboken Bro Vibe" is both real and overblown. Yes, the throngs of douchey bros (and the suburban white girls who love them) overrun Washington St. on weekends, but Uptown/West Side areas of Hoboken are quiet (and Hoboken really is lovely when it's not under water).
- Bring good shoes. For lanternfly stompin'.

Reply to Thieves walk out of Downtown Jersey City Best Buy with $20K in Apple products by imaluckyduckie
I wonder how they did this...? All the Apple Stuff (at least as far as I've seen) is locked up behind display cases or cages. You can't just stuff a bunch of stuff into tote bags (ok, obviously the thieves in this case could... I just wonder how they did this without help).

They add a 20% gratuity to the bill--and THEN present a screen asking for another tip. Fuck the Boil. Never again.

Many years ago, I worked as a "Secret Shopper" doing reports for Southland Corp (they are the franchisor for 7-11). One of my tasks was to compare the actual price of each item to the price charged at the register--and you would be shocked at how often customers were nickel-and-dimed. All day, every day: 20 cents here, 30 cents there. Hundreds of these fraudulent transactions a day, and it adds up (oh, and beer? You might get nicked for an extra buck or two).
This didn't happen at every 7-11... but certainly a sizable percentage. It's despicable.
Supremo should be put out of its misery.

Another potential area of concern: Your neighbor can just decide to stop paying the HOA fees--and short of taking them to court, you have very little recourse as to how to collect. They could also decide that those roof repairs aren't their problem, since they're on the lower floor--again, what can you do short of taking them to court? There's no Condo Association or Board to enforce the bylaws or provisions of the Master Deed. It's just you and your neighbor.
That said, you could also end up with great neighbors who follow the agreed-upon rules.

Yeah, the condo association structure gives me pause as well. You're entirely dependent on your neighbor in this regard

Keep in mind, there is NOT an automatic abatement with new construction. Often, the new homeowner will need to apply for the abatement.
HobokenJ t1_iwpvivy wrote
Following with interest. I've gone to a few open houses, and some of these condos are (superficially) gorgeous. But the prospect of shoddy construction has me... reluctant to commit. (There are so, so many of these things going up)

I was skeptical of Cangiano's--especially the prices. But I was wrong: Recently ordered my first hero (I think it was the chicken cutlet/mutz/red pepper/eggplant/other stuff), and it was quite good (and easily enough for two meals). I'll be going back for another.

Let's try another thought experiment:
Someone comes up to you from behind at an ATM, shoves you to the ground and steals $800. The police somehow catch the assailant.
Do you press charges?

While I appreciate your empathy for the person in your scenario above, you know absolutely nothing about the actual perpetrator of this actual crime. You know nothing of their life, nothing of the crimes they've committed in the past. You don't know if they're violent; you don't know if they served time for assault or rape. It might be nice to think they're a Dickensian street urchin just trying to scrape by, but we just don't know.
He's a former inmate, according to the story. Left his ID at the scene. In other words, a repeat offender. But let's feel worse for him than the person he robbed.

Rooting for the recidivist?
Those years aren't being "taken away." He willingly risked them by committing a crime.

Nope, but the OP could be facing serious, serious consequences and should exhaust all resources to avoid said consequences!
