Wow, the cascade of bad decisions is breathtaking.
1) You have a beef over money, the other guy shoots at you but you escape. [now would seem to be the time to call the cops given the serious felony he just committed, but no] 2) He calls you, you take the call. 3) You agree to meet him. 4) You bring a bat, knowing that he has a shotgun and has already shot at you with it. 5) You lose the confrontation and call the cops. Most likely the cops become very suspicious of your story and, if at all competent, enter you and your opponent into a database of people to be investigated/arrested in the future. Quote:

There's lots of existing things around here that you couldn't do today. If your purchase depends on the addition, you should put in your contract that you will hire a local architect to consult on the feasibility of the addition, similar to an engineers report. Make closing contingent on approval. The seller may not go for this however.
If you do go through with it, you better tell your contractor that the slightest violation will be reported by the pissed off neighbor!

It isn't a case of who extends their property first has exclusive rights to a side window.
Any half bright normal person would realize that one day they will lose that window if the neighbor extended also. See if skylights might be a solution for both of you. Add the addition without fear or favor and get the right permits - City hall can't stop you because a precedent has been set and all you want is parity.

One solution would be for you and your neighbor to share the window. It would be like a communal window in the common wall. Do you think they would agree to that? An added advantage would be that you would not have to use the phone if you wanted to talk to him. Just open the window and yell into his house. The only problem would be if one of you wanted to put an air conditioner in the window but there is a solution for that too. You would alternate weekly. One week you get the cool side in your house and the next week you turn it around the other way and get the hot exhaust. See, you can both have a window and not have to hate each other. It's an elegant solution if I do say so myself. Hope this helps.

The only thing I know of is a 30 ft. rear set back (12.5 x 100 ft deep lot) I do not believe there would be a lot coverage issue as the next door neighbor put on the same type of addition.
The main issue for clarification is the windows. I guess there are ways around it if necessary, but I want to do with my entire lot what I'm entitled to, not based on what a next door neighbor put on the side of their house, thus cutting into my lot's property usage.... Thanks for the responses! :)

agreed. If we are lucky, he will be involved for the fore-seeable future. he is young, motivated, sharp, and has the right intentions. we need more people like him and less of the others on the city council. If you are ever in need of a good laugh, I recommend a city council meeting. Comedy writers could not create some of the comments from our city council members.

Need an electrician to install an electrical outlet or two

Just bought a new electrical stove and dishwasher for my condo, which hasn't been renovated since the 80's. Sears dropped it off today and went to install the stove only to find that there's no outlet behind the stove, the damn thing is hardwired into the wall. So I need to have an electrical outlet installed in it's place (haven't checked yet to see the if the dishwasher is hardwired as well).
Any suggestions for good electricians who do such small jobs?

How much you can build depends on the depth of your lot and the coverage of the existing structure. There are very specific rules about this and the zoning dept is the right place to get them answered. If you're building already covers too much of the lot, the only way you can build your addition is by getting a variance.
Also, if your addition can be seen from the street, you'll need a certificate of no effect from Historic Preservation. If you think you're neighbor's going to hate you for the addition, you'll probably have to go by the book.

I concur. He attended our new neighborhood association meeting (Liberty Harbor) and definitely had a lot of important things to share. I see him around a lot, definitely a class act in my book.

Dear JC Listers,
I have twice reached out to Councilman Fulop and both times I have received a response within 24 hours. I commend him for being so easy to access. He took the time out of his day to call me just now and discuss my issue. I feel that if you should have an issue please reach out to him. After moving here from Brooklyn and NEVER getting any help, he is a breath of fresh air. He cannot cure all the ills but at least he has an open ear.

I know they'd probably hate me, but if allowable, how much can they really HATE me?
Regardless, it only makes sense because if they put an addition up, and decided to add windows to the side, should that prohibit me from putting on an addition within 3-4ft of those? It just makes sense that side windows shouldn't be protected.... Thanks for the replies...Anyone else?

Glad to hear they're sticking to it. I don't think that playground is a good idea. There's a good one at VVP, as noted a quick 2 blocks away.
Minus the police presence, I see that playground reverting to the lowest common denominator fast...

Rear Addition - Neighbors Windows?

I am contemplating purchasing a row house in Hamilton Park area, and putting an addition on the rear of the house.
It is a row house, and the adjacent house has windows on the side of it. If I extended, I would essentially be covering up the neighbor's side windows. My question..... Are side windows of row houses protected in this situation, or do I have the right to build being that they are attached rowhouses? Anyone out there familiar with a situation like this? Thank you, Mitch.

Two uniformed officers have been planted in front of my building for a nice chunk of the afternoon -- I can see them from my window (and even hear their radios)!
It's been so refreshingly quiet over here lately. From what I can tell, the hoodlums and drug dealers and thugs are beginning to retreat (or are at least in hiding for now). Officer Daly has also been regularly on patrol -- often parking directly in front of the playground as a deterrent. I met him for the first time the other day, and he seems really committed to reducing the loitering and cleaning up the block. I've lived on Wayne Street for over 7 years now and I can't remember it ever being this good. I sure hope it continues -- keep up the good work JCPD!
