Really? Gee I thought they endorsed Mayor Fulop. Speaking of deceitful lies to the people of JC how about this whopper that I got from the JJ on one of his longtime accomplishments.

He goes around saying that he was responsible for the cleanup the Bayfront property. But any JC old-timer could tell you the real story about how a religious organization started the legal process way back in the 1990?s.

11/3/2017 JJ Bayfront: .?Wurm called Jersey City Together a "grandchild" of the Interfaith Community Organization of Jersey City, the group that sued to force Honeywell to clean up that site and another on Garfield Avenue owned by PPG.?

The Healy Clone caught in another lie?..

5/10/2017 JJ Bayfront: ?Bill Matsikoudis, who is challenging Fulop in November's mayoral race, spearheaded the effort to get the property cleaned up as corporation counsel under Fulop's predecessor.?

How low can you go taking credit away from a Church group? But then again that?s always been ?The Healy Way?. Sinner!

Get out and vote for TEAM FULOP on Tuesday November 7th, 2017 send a loud and clear message that we don?t want a Healy Clone as Mayor nor do we want any of the Clones Clones on the City Council. (it would be much worse than having the NO-bbie Brothers on the Council as we do now)

What will Jersey City look like, be like in four years?

The 2020 Census is expected to crown it the largest city in the state. And, failing another real estate collapse, property values should continue to rise, more of Journal Square will be built higher and higher, and ... what?

If this were Healy, Fulop would have been screaming bloody murder, as well he should have.

You're right, the mayor and I aren't best friends, largely because I believe he betrayed the cause of good government that got him elected. Early in his administration, I counseled him to live up to his promise. He chose another road. It's very sad to see his talent wasted.

The mayor has forfeited his right to another term. He wasted five million of taxpayer money on a frivolous lawsuit to postpone the reval for his political convenience. That money could have paid for all manner of city needs. It appears that he tried to throw the ambulance contract to a political supporter when it was clear that the Medical Center had one of the finest operations in the country. I could go on and on.

No one can know for sure, what a change of administration would mean. Many of us were surprised by Fulop's 180. What I do know is that he offers us more of the Hudson County self-dealing and corruption we all want to stop.

So many bad assumptions in your response as well as others, that to get to the gist of all of them, could take all day.

1st. If needs to buy vehicle for transportation which many in all wards of the city need to do they could for the same price as a used ICE vehicle puchase a used electric one. Electrics have been out since 2010 and there are plenty to be had for reasonable prices

2. The up keep of an electric is so much less than a ICE car, there are no oil changes, few fluids in which to replace, brakes may last for as much as 100,000 miles do to regenerative braking and less to go wrong on the motor an engagement to the wheels.

3. If money is the issue, home charging for electrics is so far less than a ICE vehicle, it costs on average $1.20 to charge a chevy volt to .03? a mile for a tesla S with home charging , while the average ICE car is around .20? a mile.

4. And then there is the small issue of air quality issues in urban confines. JC has an alarming rate of children with asthma and yet little has been done to remove the major source of the air pollutants in this region which in no small part is do ICE vehicles and trucks.

5. ICE vehicles are also a major factor to the degradation of our infrastructure including bridges, roads and our buildings. The pollutants including new cars let off acidic pollutants, much of the discoloration and degradation of our buildings is do to the pollutants emitted by ICE vehicles.

And then the people who say its big car companies that are pushing EVS, oh I wish they were. GM, Nissan, VW, Mercedes, BMW and others advertising budget for their EVs is a fraction of Chevy's Impala. So lets blame the major manufacturers for producing EV cars and Vans but not blame them for pushing ICE cars onto us.

I know forums are usually for the ill informed and the disgruntled but please don't take it out on EVs they just want a chance to be on the streets and have access to charging as many of your ICE driven cars that have options of gassing up.

Be nice to them they just want a chance to play with the older kids on the block.

You are reading way too much into my comment and assuming the rest, which btw happens to be incorrect.

I am fully aware of everything that you have stated Feature & Benefit wise, since I have owned a Volt for many years at my secondary residence which has a driveway & Pvt. SOLAR POWERED 12V-DC charging station on premises in our garage.

This administration has required amenities to go in every ward even if demand is higher in particular areas. That was the case with Citibike and is the case for the charging stations.

If the city didn't do that, the inevitable complaint would be "the city just cares about downtown."

And yet when the city does that, the complaint is "the residents of those wards don't care about that."


Really ? Can you enlighten us with some additional examples aside from bikes & electric car services ?

I don't see anyone complaining about even distribution of these 16 charging stations [although 16 is not evenly divisible by 6 Wards].

If your concern is purely health, the amount of chemical residue that would be in a mature fruit from a commercial start would be undetectable. Think of the mass of that tiny start compared to a mature plant and it's fruit. I also believe most of the health benefit of organic comes from no pesticides rather than the type of fertilization used. If you just want everything you touch to be organic, whatever.

I grow organically from either seeds or commercial starts, usually from Hudson Market on JFK. Are they still there? There was talk of them being sold.

Hudson Market sold their property awhile ago & were asked to remain for the 2017 season by the new owners who will be putting up yet more *Luxury Condos* in it's place.
They were giving out 20% off coupons all summer for their new place, which will be quite a drive away from JC.

Jersey City pulls political promotion of Fulop ally off city website

Jersey City pulled an item off the city website yesterday that promoted a political meet-and-greet intended to boost the chances of one of Mayor Steve Fulop's council candidates.

The event was listed on the taxpayer-funded cultural affairs calendar as a community barbecue hosted from noon to six today by Mo Kinberg (the calendar entry spelled her name "Kingsberg").

On her Facebook page, Kinberg, who with Fulop's support is seeking to unseat Ward D Councilman Michael Yun in November, promoted the event as a meet-and-greet alongside ads for her candidacy and Fulop's.

You can believe what you like, but your statement is belied by the documents that show otherwise.

My home is within the *District*.

When my contractor applied for the proper Building Permit to do my Roof in Autumn of 2016 & was directed to the 14th floor Planning Dept., I simply challenged the HD/HPO process BWO of a one page Letter from my attorney.
JC Officials/Directors immediately backed off, issued the permit & work proceeded without further interruption.

Don't know where you reside or what your experience[s] is in this Historic District 4 Jersey City's Westside, but MY Personal Experience clearly demonstrates, that while there may be a lot of huffing & puffing surrounding the issue [from both sides], that there is NO Enforceable Historic District Overlay in place at this time & there was none at that time.

This 100% wrong. See the Zoning Code at 345-71. l. 9. There is no explicit prohibition on vinyl siding in the Historic design standards.

Here's the link, scroll down to L. 9. for the applicable section.

I've bolded the critical clause they ignore:

?If historic windows have deteriorated to a point precluding repair, rehabilitation or restoration, based on documentation submitted by the applicant, or a field inspection by the Historic Preservation Officer, replacement windows may be approved under a Certificate of No Effect if they match the historic windows....?

This clause specifically refers ONLY to historic windows that have deteriorated. Everything following in that sub-section of the code is exclusively about deteriorated historic windows. The code is totally silent about replacing existing NON-historic windows in historic buildings. Replacing NON-historic windows with fake, ?historic looking? windows isn't ?preservation?. You can't preserve something, here a historic window, that doesn't exist.

So what is that section of JC code about? It describes what you must do when you have a deteriorated, existing historic window. You retain (preserve) as much of the original, historic window as possible. Everything of the existing historic window that can be saved must be ?preserved?. Parts that are beyond repair must be ?restored.? It means that if part of an original, historic window can't be repaired, you can't tear out the entire window. You must ?restore? the beyond repair part and keep all the rest of the window.

For example, consider an existing historic window with a sash so badly deteriorated it can't be repaired. The sash holds the windowpane and moves when you open the window. The code allows you to make a new sash (or part of it), essentially identical to the historic sash, and use that ?restored? sash to repair the existing, historic window. Only the ?beyond repair? part, the sash, is ?restored.? The rest of the window must stay and be preserved. That's ?historic preservation.? As it is custom work, it can be (is) very costly, and you should carefully consider that before you buy a house in a historic district.


When HPO and HPC demands go further than ?preservation? activities they are misapplying the code and acting outside their lawful authority. And when they leave critical clauses off sections of code they are supposed to know and correctly administer, thereby changing the meaning of the code, that is plain, willful abuse. It is damaging to property owners, it ignores the State MLUL, and it raises serious legal risks for the City with Federal Housing Law. The City should put a stop to it.


*A note about definitions of ?restoration? and ?reconstruction?:
Although similar, the words ?restoration? and ?reconstruction? have particular meanings when used in Historic Preservation Codes and Guidelines. The best definitions (clearest, most precise, easiest to understand) are found in the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Historic Preservation. Updated guidelines were released earlier this year. The JC Historic Code specifies the Secretary's Guidelines as the standard the JC HPC shall follow.
See: https://www.nps.gov/tps/standards/treatment-guidelines-2017.pdf

In the JC Historic Zoning Code, the definition for ?reconstruction? (?345-6. - Definitions) is so badly expressed it doesn't make sense. It seems a typographical error was made repeating part of the wording from the definition for ?restoration.? That's a problem because when wording in a law, regulations or code is poorly expressed and not ?understandable by a person of common intelligence?, the law or regulation (or part of it) is invalid.


Thank you for clarifying these points about windows for ALL Jersey City properties contained within the municipality's designated Historic Districts.

Regarding your words of caution when considering property purchases in a Historic District [Highlighted Above]:

What advice do you have for those of us already residing on the Westside who purchased Homes prior to having this Municipal HDO Ordinance [devoid of appropriate guidelines] imposed upon us, without our permission, BWO a myriad of blatant Illegal Procedures [including but not limited to eradication of our property rights] employed by this current Administration in their unrelenting Quest for Gentrification on a grand scale?

When a Municipality simply eliminates key elements [property owner permissions] from the Federal & State Historic Preservation program guidelines that they then defer to, [gutting the State MLUL/ Federal Law & simply ignoring the mandate of an updated MasterPlan] they create an untenable situation of the Perfect Storm for AMPLIFIED Abuses!

Should Jersey City Taxpayers be bled out completely to shoulder additional Multi-Million$ costs associated with the resultant litany of Budget-Busting Lawsuits coming down the pike ???
[as the Direct consequence of This Mayor's Bad decisions plus his Administration's sloppy Work-Product and Improper Handling of their Fiduciary/Legislative responsibilities.]

3. The individual explicitly stated that the entire purpose for the vinyl siding was so that he could rent the house out and move to Portugal.

4. The individual's permits did not state what the material of the new siding was which is why the permit passed.

5. The city's website EXPLICITLY states that vinyl siding is NOT permitted. It is possible that another material that isn't wood could be but vinyl is definitely a no-no.

Lastly, having listened to Fernandes speak about this, my take-away was that he's a guy that had no interest in restoration. He purchased a home and was looking for a cheap fix. He's also very dishonest in his explanation on the series of events and he's simply looking for a pay day from the city.

He could have complied with the city's rules and regulations for the area rather quickly and for a lot less money than the lawsuit along with the wear and tear on the building along with the wasted money on the vinyl siding he purchased. Instead of that, he played "victim" and got lawsuit happy.

I have zero pity for the man.

What I do have an opinion about is the abusive use of the Historic Preservation rules. The HPO and HPC routinely exceed their lawful authority in the application of these restrictive Zoning rules. The ultra vires actions of the HPO and HPC have prevented many people from repairing and maintaining their houses because of the cost of the work demanded. It has caused a huge amount of damage to many people and particularly to individuals and families of limited means, and of color, for many years. The current City Administration has done nothing to stop this abuse.

The powers granted to the City under the MLUL to enable regulation of historic preservation are limited to just that: ?historic preservation.? An example of the application of these limits is seen in the provisions in the MLUL regarding ?demolition by neglect.? The lawful power of a municipality is limited only to requiring an owner undertake ?stabilization? of the deteriorating historic structure, to preserve it from slow destruction. That is all the law permits. It does not authorize a municipality to compel or order any other kind of work on the historic structure.

Those same limits apply to all Historic structures, whether they are in danger of ?demolition by neglect? or not. The City does not have the lawful authority to require anything more of an owner than ?preservation.? And you can't preserve something that doesn't exist. Attempts by the City to make owners re-create ?fake historic? features such as wood windows, cedar siding, iron fences, anything that does not still exist in some form, are not ?historic preservation? and are therefore outside the City's lawful authority.

AGREE ++++++++

It is REALLY Scary when one speaks to a HPO in JC Planning Dept. & they do not know what NPS or National Parks Service is, or how it applies to their job function.

It appears that Judge McNultey clearly addressed "Qualified Immunity" in his 06/27/17 Opinion & allowed the matter to proceed against MF & AL individually, that gives rise to a conflict[s] between an individual's interests & a public entity's interests

however,
I did not catch anything about Absolute Statutory Immunity.

Biggest selling point of Hardi + Azek is that it is maintenance free & termites don't feed on it. [those annual exterminator fees do add up]
In the end, it's really up to the individual's preferences & wallet.
BUT it does not provide Insulation that the plaintiff in this case desperately needed, which is why he contracted for 60K worth of this specialty vinyl product that emulated historic wood types.
