Two would-be robbers were thwarted by the Jersey City man they were attempting to rob early this morning, police said.

The incident occurred around 1:15 a.m. when the victim, a 45-year-old 16th Street resident, answered the door of his apartment.

Police said they were told that when he opened the door, two men entered the apartment with a handgun and told the man "Give me the f---ing money. My partner is in the back room with your girl. If she yells, my partner's going to kill her."

While being held at gunpoint, the man reached for the handgun and began to fight the robber, reports state. When the victim pulled the gun away from the robber, both assailants fled, reports said.

At the scene, police recovered the gun, a Smith and Wesson .357-caliber revolver and two live rounds. A check of the gun's history came back as stolen from Morris Township, reports state.

During the struggle, the victim was bitten twice by the man, but was not otherwise hurt, reports said. He was taken to Jersey City Medical Center for treatment.

Police are currently investigating the attempted robbery. Anyone with information is asked to call (201) 547-JAIL.

Hi All,

I'm considering buying a place in this area. As you can see by my handle I'm currently on the other side. I was wondering if anyone here currently lives on the other side. Do you find it safe? How did you make it through the storm? How is parking?

If you live south of the tunnel would you be comfortable living on the other side? A lot of stuff still in walking distance.

There is 700 Grove, Zephyr, and now the Cast Iron Lofts but also the Holland Gardens.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

There are no trash cans because it saves money not to empty trash cans. This is the same reason there are so few trash cans in around Jersey City: officials are more interested in saving money than cleanliness.

Journal Square smells like garbage because a trail hauling garbage on the fright tracks often ends up sitting on that section of track waiting for signals. It gets worse in the summer.

On that note - what about the terrible plastic bottle "art" all along Coles between 3rd to 5th Street? If I lived on that block with all the bottles with plastic straps on my street signs, and I owned? I'd worry about my property value. It looks like sh*t.

The name of the moron who makes the stupid chalk circles, triangles and other chalk drawing shi* name is Norm Kirby. He currently has an art show up at LITM. Worst freaking excuse for an art show I have ever seen. I have had to take his god***m chalk shi* off my building several times and am sick of it. Go find an abandoned building or a piece of paper to draw on, moron. I love street and graffiti art, btw, but the circles are just dumb. Jersey City is full of so many crap artists, and Norm is just one of many.

There was a break in at our building on Pavonia Ave yesterday afternoon. This is the second time in 6 months and the same unit in the building was targeted. The first time nothing was stolen but this time was the tenant wasn't as lucky. Without going into too much detail as I don't want to make certain information public knowledge - i feel/know that our building doesn't meet the minimum security standards and our landlord is being all too casual about improving the current condition. I'm already looking into moving now, but I was going to reach out to my other tenants to get them to push the landlord to make REAL improvements. Are there any steps I can take to getting the ball rolling to get the landlord off his ass?

Yeah, I saw that guy. About 300 times on my way to work this morning.

Is it taboo to actually describe physical characteristics?

All of this complaining is policy through emotional response. That helps no one.

You think these towers are causing some kind of change, like they will be a catalyst to ruining quality of life in Journal Square. That's not it. The change has already happened. These towers are the result, not the cause, the product, not the catalyst.

They are to built practically on top of the Journal Square transit center. Buses, PATH, and what could have been a light rail station if the don't-change-anything crowd hadn't been so oppositional to running a line down Sixth Street.

The traffic problems with fix themselves. If there is too much traffic, more people will take transit.

Let the grownups talk now.

Police: Stay Out of the Red
BY LINDA GIANG

Jersey City is the second largest city in New Jersey, just behind Newark. As of the 2010 Census, Jersey City has a population of 247,530 people. This vast city runs for 14.9 square miles. A city of this size and population normally come with an equal amount of crime. It is useful for Saint Peter?s students who are not from the area to be aware of places to avoid. In an exclusive interview with several Jersey City Police Officers, who asked to remain anonymous, we got the lowdown on the city?s worst areas as far as crime.

Sorry you aren't receiving more useful advice here and other people have this holier-than-thou attitude about you identifying the family below you as immigrants. Anyway, you probably do have some kind of legal option against the other tenants and/or your landlord, but it would probably take way too long to get the wheels in motion (especially with the courts backed up the way they are right now) while you continue to suffer. All I can suggest is that you look for a new place. Moving sucks, but so does breathing in mold. If the landlord refuses to let you out of the lease and/or won't return your security deposit, gather as much evidence as possible (i.e. pictures) of your apartment's uninhabitability and move out anyway, then deal with it in the courts later. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but how much longer can you continue to live this way?
