For waxing, I recommend European Wax Center: http://www.waxcenter.com/NJ-Jersey-City

The wax is hard, so they don't use paper or muslim. They let it dry and pull it off. It pulls out only the hair and not the skin, so it doesn't hurt like the bejesus. I love it.

Ask for Anne.

My questions/concerns are:
Is it feasible/possible that city will let me change it back to a 3 family in an R-1 zone?
If I am able to get a 3 family zoning, will I need to bring it to "current codes"? Current codes as I understand would mean I need to sprinkle the common areas.

Is it relevant at all that the building was built as a legal 3 family, but is now a 2 fam?

Anybody know or know what city agency I call next for these answers?

Thanks so much!

I noticed City Convenience one block down is closed. Over the past few weeks his inventory was getting more and more sparse, so I kinda saw that one coming. Perhaps you're thinking of that place?

What are you supposed to do? Hold it in?

For a 15 minute train ride, yes.

Same unwritten rule applies for clipping your fingernails, brushing your hair, applying make-up, etc.

But hey, it's a city, we all mine as well live like animals shitting where we eat and having sex in public, right?

I heard that a sprinkler system in an existing 3 unit /3 family brownstone IS NOT required, since they were there before this regulation went into effect.

However, any new 3 or more unit property IS required to have a sprinkler system.

Can anyone confirm this?

I can confirm that existing 3 families are not required to have sprinklers. Mine has been inspected by both the city and state. However, I'm certain that if you did a gut renovation or opened up a certain percentage of the ceilings, you'd have to install them.

The city's landlord tenant office is a joke.


If we didn't have heat - I'm sure they could help. But for anything other than the most basic interaction - they have no idea what they are talking about, and have contradicted the law, and themselves numerous times.

Also, have you not had a rent increase in a long time? If not, does that get factored into whether this is reasonable (I honestly don't know)?

Why shouldn't it? Some landlords are softies, and hate to raise rents on tenants, preferring to raise it on turnover of the unit. But if the tenant stays and stays, they eventually have got to do it. What if you pay $1000 and haven't had a rent raise in 5 years? 10% is still below the CPI adjustment of $1,124 and you're ahead of the game not having paid any increases for 5 years. In that case, lets have no tears.
