Hello,
Call JCPD and report that you have trespassers in your building, they are not guests of any resident, they are in your hallway and acting in a frightening and aggressive manner.

I'm friends with a guy whose Dad and Uncle came to the U.S in the 1970's, bought a house together in Boston, and then lived in their car for 2 years while they rented it out.
By the time they moved in, they had enough cash to open their own business, refinance a lower mortgage, and start families.

We had this happen from 2007-2014, rent was never raised, landlords didn't even know the lease had expired.
Our attorney told us we were technically on a month to month, and the terms of the original lease would still be upheld by most judges.
Had our rent increased or there was a verbal agreement, that would have been a different story.

Can anyone tell me if an indoor parking structure in JC exists that a 10 foot box truck could fit in?
Have friends that are packing tonight, but driving out tomorrow due to the impending rain.
They're hoping to park the 10 foot UHaul in a covered, off street structure.
Many thanks.

$2,365 per month for a studio.

We like Chris Croft and his dad at Royal.
Do you need to bleed your radiator? That's pretty easy to do.

At the risk of getting a sound lashing, this is where roundabouts are often considered to be much safer than light controlled intersections.

Annod,
That is what I read too, that the young lad ran right out into traffic.
Doesn't take away the the validity of the previous posts...
And absolutely agree with other poster in regard to obnoxious honking that some drivers cave to.

Interesting thread...
Last year our JC based realtor told us specifically not to compare DTJC to Hoboken...

Hi iGreg,
I started this thread a long time ago, I am asking you to please be respectful and adult like.
I was new at the time and had no clue who "Yvonne" was or that she was a registered user on JCList, I simply saw the name "Yvonne" on numerous posts.
I'm still pretty new here and trying to catch up on Jersey City.
Thank you for your future meaningful, adult like and productive posts.
I look forward to communicating and getting to know you.

Our bylaws are specific about such things also, but we're a 6 unit condo building and no one really cares.
I have a pumpkin in the window.
Everyone would speak up however if I plugged something into the building's main electrical (we share that bill)
I HATE co-ops, one of the reasons we specifically bought a condo.

We had Mark do our work.
Not the most expensive, not the cheapest.
Kind, courteous and respectful.
Electrical inspector breezed through the house, he could instantly see beautiful work had been done.

Hi Everyone,
My neighbors, the building next to us, were in a similar situation, what worked is that they ALL got together and hired ONE attorney on their behalf.
There is strength in numbers, they had an elderly lady tenant (who was quite effective) represent everyone.
They started documentation/petitions early with everyone's signature, they went to "Tenants & Neighbors" (this was in NYC) and got free representation along the way, they notified their banks to set up separate accounts, etc.
This new landlord is counting on you guys not being smart enough to budget and go to all the trouble of doing this.
But the moral of the story is all the tenants worked as one, when the judge saw that, he ruled in their favor immediately.
Good luck, $750 is cheap, I'd fight to keep that too.

Does JC have a Halloween Dog Parade?

I would pop into the building dept at 30 Montgomery, I think it's room 401 for zoning and simply ask.
They may want a picture of the property from the street.
You're smart to think of these things now, before closing.

What did you end up doing?
We have an EWR international flight at noon on Wednesday, signifiant other demands an Uber, I would be fine taking public (from Grove)...Do have a couple of suitcases, but we're pretty organized.
Supposed to be sunny and nice on Wednesday..

I use to take my niece and nephew to the do it yourself carwash and let THEM do all the cleaning, they loved playing with the soap, hose, vacuum, their little fingers could fit into tiny crevices..then I would take them for ice cream, I'd have a squeaky clean car and they had a blast.

I also once gave my nephew 10$, he climbed under the kitchen sink, gutted everything out, cleaned it, assembled a shelfy thing from BB&B, put everything back, my eyes brimmed with tears of joy every time I opened the door.

For 20$ each, I got them to paint the bathroom, they had a ball.

I could go on and on...they were ecstatic to get the cash and learned the meaning of earning a buck.

Brewster, I should have said "electrical drawings".

Before starting anything, make sure you have 2 sets of architectural drawings, stamped by a licensed NJ architect, and take both sets with you to the building department which they will keep.
Make sure you have an additional copy where the construction is happening.
You will most likely have a fire inspection.
Read this over carefully, the JC Building department is fickle.

Barely a tinkle...

I think Dr. Nick Riviera has a teeny weeny little crush on Yvonne..so much attention and banter...kind of like when you'd chase your crush around the playground....

Is this something that you bring a blanket/picnic basket and "stake out your space" for the day?
Or just wander around buying food and drink..
Where is the best place to be once the music/fireworks start?
Would love some advice from the pros..thanks
We'd probably walk or Uber

Brewster,
You're lucky! We had a home invasion while living in NYC...When I thought about how we were sitting ducks and what could have happened..ugh.
But this is about having a concealed permit. Is that the part that bothers you?

Walked by last night, place is in process of being gutted out.
We poked our heads in, it looks like they tore out the cheap fake ceiling panels and an original tin ceiling was exposed, hope they clean it up and keep it.
Anyone know what the building was before becoming Liberty Tax?

If you go to Craigslist, services, automotive and then type in "passenger van" several pop up.
Have never used any of these myself, please post if you do and your opinion.

We had a GREAT hot dog joint in Chicago called "Felony Franks", all the employees were ex- convicts that simply needed work.
You'd go to the counter and they'd ask "How do you plead your case"? (your cue to order)
Chain Gang Chili Dog, Pardon Polish or Probation Burgers, The Misdemeanor Wiener, Freedom Fries, if you wanted 2 wieners you ordered The Repeat Offender.
It was great fun for all until this one bug up your ass alderman and a few nimby's ruined it for everyone. And left many out of work..

STRONGLY recommend Dianne E Laurenzo, 201-448-8068, office in Hackensack and Hoboken.
When we bought our current DTJC condo, it was tenant occupied, they refused to leave, the owner started a costly eviction process, it was a nightmare as we had already closed.
Dianne breezed through the nightmare, she answers her phone, in addition to real estate she is a criminal lawyer, she sorted out the whole mess with no loose ends, which is what we all want.
Good luck, let us know what happens!

Is that burger joint still going to open on that corner? Haven't seen any activity..just wondering.

They carpeted stairs in our building are filthy, greasy and grimy. Does anyone recommend a carpet cleaner business in Jersey City that would give us an estimate? Thank you.
