You don't really need a broker but suggest to take a visit if you are able to and look around town. JC is pretty big and the 1k rent you are seeing seems kind of low placing you at the outskirts of the city which you will definitely need a car to commute from back and forth. If not the waterfront/ downtown area you'll need to look for places closest to the light rail or path stations to be able to get around without a car.

Luckily it is only the porcelain that cracked, don't want any more damage or the iron getting rusted. I found a guy in NY via craigslist but the pick up and delivery will cost more than the actual fix.

Cast Iron Porcelain tub repair

I have a clawfoot porcelain tub that is in need of repair. All of a sudden a 5" crack appeared on the porcelain, not sure how it happened but the only thing I can think of might have caused it are the vibrations coming from all the construction going on outside.
Can anyone recommend a good porcelain tub repair person?

Another one for Aladdin, I had a couple of old fixtures completely re-wired he did a great job and had a quick turn around. Mark (the owner) is a Jersey City character, very nice guy. The inside of the shop has many interesting pieces to say the least.

Unfortunately it was underwhelming at best and I like the work of the artist. I always thought that would be a great place to display something that would be an iconic symbol of the city, now (to me) it only looks like an unfinished piece at best. Maybe I'm missing something.

With so many rentals coming up offering a lower rent price might just be a strategy to get people in faster, they can always raise the rent after the yearly lease is up. But like some others have posted there are various types of incentives that are offered when you go talk to and ask the right questions.

Yes, Mr. Morgan. I don't think he is a fan of having a historic designation but I can not speak for him just know from comments he's made. I'll ask he's thoughts on the subject next time I see him. Overall it is a good article for Bergen Hill.

B.H. is state designated but what I've heard from the old timers in the neighborhood is that there was a movement to make it a historic area like the others in JC, the neighborhood fought against it and won. There is a retired JJ reporter which touched on the subject a while back in one of the neighborhood meetings. Forgot his name but he lives on Astor and seemed to be pretty knowledgable on the subject.

Really hate when civil servants abuse the system because of some sense of power or authority, I'm not saying all but some and those few give a bad rep to the rest. I've seen police working security in the Newport bestbuy parking in the handicap spots like it's their own private parking. When I was in the military having respect and proper manners with civilians was a big push.

Not sure how it could've sold since closing takes a couple of weeks. I do know there was an offer being placed for 560k right after the open house. It could've fell through but even if it did go for 475 is almost double what the owner paid for.

Can I ask how the Mayor is taking away parking from JC folks? Parking is always a problem in a city (unfortunately) that's one of the reasons people move to the burbs. If he is using a parking lot it only means that the problem exists, has existed and that's why the parking lots exist Serving its purpose. I am one of those people that have to circle the block and it would be great if there was resident parking permits.

Saying she inspired someone is giving her unearned credit. My opinion is that the article inspired her to commit this small act of vandalism probably to get some notoriety or more press, in that case it did. Best thing to do is not to even bother commenting, I tried but failed. Is there nothing better to write but the thoughts of a 22 yr old girl that apparently hasn't even left home. There is so much more going on in this city that deserves the press. Haters gotta hate.

It all depends on your tolerance level but the formula is fairly easy the further out you go from DT the more questionable it gets. There are many different sections outside of downtown with pockets of great neighborhoods. Find yourself a good realtor that knows the area, search the many threads here from past prospectors (myself included), walk the areas both day and night time, and you just have to have a gut feeling about the place. You can find the many different neighborhoods in NextDoor. Good luck with your search!!!

Yeah, back in the late eighteen hundreds developers sure did try to cram as many fireplaces as possible to bring the prices up.

13 Astor a couple of houses up recently sold for 550K. It says remodeled in 2005 guessing that's why the finishes seem a little dated but overall it looks great.

No prob bodhipooh, but my description was for 92 Astor which is a 2 level + garden and a completely different realtor/investor from the other properties. 13 Astor(renovated), 71 Astor (renovated) and 75 Astor (currently being renovated) have all been done by the same investors and all are 3 levels + garden level. The contractor did a very nice job with the details on 13 and they even repointed the brick unlike 92 which was just painted over. They also did a nice job on 71 and am looking forward to seeing 75 complete.

The original owner bought it a couple of years ago to flip, weren't able to finish the Reno and finally decided to sell it. They got a realtor/investor who bought it and is finishing up the flip, apparently sold it already since it never went to market.
I personally have not seen the inside but know they made it into a four bedroom kitchen/living room lower level, 2bdr stoop level, 2bdr top level. Not sure how many bathrooms.

Seems like a common practice for some realtors around these areas is to get the listing by charging the sellers lower a commission. They'll either have a buyer lined up or wait till they get one so they get the buyers side of the commission by working with both parties. Really shady stuff, sometimes they will not even place the property on the Hudson county MLS or answer other realtors when they call about the property. It hurts the value of the home by not giving it a fair competitive edge on the market, but sellers are lured in by the pitch that they are saving money on commission fees. In reality they are losing much more money by not being visible and eliminating access to many more buyers.
