The association there is suing Toll, so be on the lookout in terms of maintenance.



Grove Street in that area has not flooded in a few years now. Whatever remediation they did in Hoboken seems to have helped.

We should deal with it because Fulop, the puppet of developers do not want to waste money while he runs for governor. I should feel sorry for him so he can have cash available in case he loses that race? Fulop might be without funds and he does not want to waste money on a runoff.

This is Jersey City, we want our runoffs. We want candidates to prove themselves.

Spineless response - so blame the association or building owner for not being the gestapo.

Pretty much.

If your building bans smoking in the common areas, then it is not the responsibility of Phillip Morris or the local tobacconist to ensure that the rule is followed in that building.

If a condo association or landlord doesn't enforce a rule, that's not AirBNB's fault.

It's the building's responsibility to ensure that owners are abiding by the rules; and a landlord's responsibility to ensure that tenants are abiding by relevant laws. That includes handling short-term rentals.

I guess JC needs another form of revenue after the demise of traffic light cameras.

If they are going to implement it, I hope that they have a provision that both the renter and airbnb will be subject to a hefty fine for anyone staying in a nonconforming location (such as a multifamily / condo etc for which the owner in the case of a rental / or the association for a coop/condo hasn't approved).

It isn't airBnB's business to police whether hosts are breaking their lease agreements. Typically this is grounds for lease termination. It is the landlords legal responsibility to adjust to this trend edit their de facto lease agreements if they have not already.

That being said, airBnB does have the following in their ToS about removing posts if the above is true:

"You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or a Guest's stay at, an Accommodation in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, lease or rental agreements, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws and laws governing rentals of residential and other properties), Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Accommodation included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Airbnb assumes no responsibility for a Host's compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Airbnb reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Airbnb, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or Airbnb's then-current Policies and Community Guidelines, or otherwise harmful to the Site, Application or Services."

We need to enact a 100% tax on non-resident property sales in Jersey City. The Australians, Chinese and other foreign investors are making it impossible for young families to buy anything in JC.
