If your DE application is messy, you've used way too much! It's for cracks and crevices. It shouldn't be plainly visible. "Mounds" of DE are dangerous for your health. Do not over apply it.
I wouldn't do any DIY stuff. Get your landlord to get the pros in. All infested units should be treated. All units adjacent to infested units (above, below, left, right, maybe even across the hall) should at MINIMUM be inspected. If inspection finds bugs, then those units should be treated and adjacent units to those inspected, etc. Even if no bugs are found in adjacent units, many exterminators advise a preventative treatment.

I was doing some research into this, because we have a similar issue with our tub.
DR Reglazing has good reviews on Angie's List and Yelp. I haven't called them, though (let alone hired them), so I can't personally vouch for them. But check them out.

Thanks. I found the doc you posted. In case anyone is wondering, here's what it says: "a. Vinyl and Aluminum Siding. The Commission discourages the use of vinyl or aluminum siding on historic buildings. These materials are not permitted on masonry buildings. On buildings which have existing vinyl or aluminum siding, individual units may be replaced with matching materials if necessary following the issuance of a Certificate of No Effect. On buildings with wood clapboard siding and/or shingles, the Commission encourages retention of the historic material or replacement with matching materials. b.If an applicant chooses to apply for aluminum or vinyl siding, a Certificate of Appropriateness is required."

I think you're allowed to use vinyl siding if it correctly mimics the historic appearance. That is, there are rules about which types of vinyl siding are allowed and how it must be installed.
That's my understanding, anyway.

Since you are in the process of moving, DE is not practical.
What you want is a "Vikane moving truck." Check out the forum at bedbugger.com for recommendations. Also, make sure you get a visual confirmation of the bugs. Don't go by the dog alone.

Why not look near Journal Square? You could find a place that is much closer to JSQ than Mercer Loop is to Grove St. In the Hilltop/Island section, you'll be walking distance to downtown, too.

I bet the cars were never towed anyway.
If I recall correctly from my move, 48 hours notice is what the Parking Authority instructs. Whatever it is, we posted our no parking signs with even more notice, and still cars were parked in the spots, and when we called the police, they never showed up.

I think you're correct. I subsequently asked a friend who works in construction, and he said that there should be fire walls in between units but that "common areas" such as an attic would not require fire walls.

One of the commenters on NJ.com said that firewalls are required between townhouse/condo units (new, wood construction), but since Avalon is an apartment building, those codes don't apply.

Definitely-- it's pretty difficult to find a place right by the Square. This became apparent rather quickly during our housing search last year. However, some of the blocks further from the station are actually nicer, so there's that to keep in mind as well. We chose the McGinley Square/Lincoln Park area over the Heights because 1) It's more affordable. The Heights was already too expensive for us. 2) We were leaning more towards a condo than a house, and we preferred the condos in the McGinley Sq area, architecturally/aesthetically. 3) We wanted to be no more than a 15 minute walk to the JSQ PATH; this rules out a chunk of the Heights. We didn't want to have to rely on another form of transportation to get to the PATH. But we always have the option, if we don't feel like walking the 15 minutes, to take a bus to the PATH, which is nice. Just my opinion/experience.

I live in this area. Previously I lived in the Hilltop neighborhood of JC. McGinley Square certainly isn't as quiet as the Hilltop (not many areas of the city are!) but I'm very happy here. Our apartment is huge, we're walking distance (15 min.) to the PATH, and we're about a 10 min. walk to Lincoln Park, where there is a nice farmers market on Sundays. The C-town supermarket on Bergen is decent. As others have noted, Boyd-McGuiness Park is in the process of being completely renovated. Honey Bakery is awesome.
I feel safe here-- pretty much as safe as I feel downtown, anyway. I do avoid walking alone at night (often take a cab from JSQ if I'm alone and it's after, say, 9pm, which costs about $4.50, before tip). If I am walking at night, I avoid Bergen. As far as the negatives of the area go, I wish there were a couple "nice" bars or restaurants. And I wish the walk to downtown were more inviting. Montgomery doesn't exactly offer a nice stroll. Usually, I take the PATH to go downtown. The 80 bus goes downtown, too, but I haven't tried it yet.

I submit a complaint to NJ Transit whenever the bus doesn't show up. I'm sure they ignore them, but I figure it's better than nothing. Follow the web feedback link here: http://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servle ... tion=ContactUsTelephoneTo
I've complained to the city via the Resident Response Center/Online Help form. A representative responded right away but suggested I reach out to NJ Transit instead.

I'm confused by their decision-making process. Isn't the River St. place just as far from the (Grove St.) PATH as 126 Dudley? And if they use Exchange Place, Dudley is even closer. Well, whatever, I guess the reasoning is simplified for the sake of the article's narrative structure.
