The Hoboken Shoprite charges 10cents per sturdy re-usable plastic bag.

I bought a bunch of fabric ones similar to what Brewster posted from Amazon. We've been stocking up on Target and ACME bags for a while.

Re: Notice of violation & Order to correct - JCFD

Just can't stay away

Has anyone else had an inspection saying you need a knoxbox? And you have to pay $25 to get the order form for one?

Also with our inspection, they say that if we do not correct our violations we will be fined $5000 a day per violation. WTF??

Does anyone have a list of recommended attorneys to help with the tax appeal process?

I still don't know what my new taxes will be. How can I have appealed something where I don't have the info?

Not sure whether you mentioned it but are you in a new building? Or recently condo-ed?

Nope, old building from the 1920's that was refurbed in the mid-80's when the association was developed.

I will ignore. Thanks everyone for your advice. That guy on the phone scared me. lol.

The form only applies to owners of at least five rental units in one building. I ignored my form years ago, despite them telling me to fill it out when I called to ask about it - even though I was exempt. No repercussions for ignoring it. I just think you do yourself more harm filling it out if it doesn't apply to you. Once you do, you create some file in a city agency and I can easily see a Kafkaesque situation every year in which you're forced to prove to the city that you don't own five units in your building. Fwiw, friends who own single-family homes also got the form and ignored it as well.

Yes, it was from the Landlord/Tenant department. I said we didn't have 5 units under rental and no one owns more than one unit and he said it didn't matter I still had to fill out the form and send in $10 per unit. And I told him nothing on the form applies to anyone in my building we are a non-profit Condo Association. And he was telling me well the owner would be the President, and I was like, ahhhh I don't think that is how it works and he told me well then I can go to court then and pay the $2500 fine. :/

Maybe I will ignore it, I do feel like I got this in the past and ignored it because of the 5 unit thing. I feel like it was worded differently this year which set off alarms.

If they want me to register my building (which I am sure it is somewhere), then it shouldn't be coming from the landlord/tenant department.

Property Registration

Just can't stay away

Did anyone else get this property registration form that must be filled out by March or you are massively fined and have to go to court.
We are a condo association, there is no sole owner, we all own our units and don't answer to an LLC.This form seems to deal with Landlord/tenant issues and we are mostly owner occupied. I called them syaing I didn't feel this form applied to us and he said all buildings must apply.

So, I guess I am just wondering if anyone else has filled out this form and could help me with it. I am treasurer for the association and no one else on the "board" is even around for this.

Since when does JCPD patrol traffic at the Holland Tunnel? That's PAPD territory.

Good point. My guess is that I know the neighborhood associations don't like commuters using Jersey City local streets to bypass tunnel traffic. With the closure of the Pulaski Skyway inbound I would think residents feared this would get worse. I know in the past there had been talks of redirecting traffic to prevent this. (This was years ago). I see other towns closing roads or making certain roads one way to prevent commuters from using local streets by schools to avoid traffic. Maybe this is something similar. I doubt it is anything like bridgegate.

While we are at it, maybe Silverman should charge double a month to the people who take up two parking spots. You want two spots, then pay for them.

The use of the garage is a temporary solution for Tommy's new restaurant, New Thanh Hoai.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please eat at New Thanh Hoai, if you can, the Vietnamese food is delicious and the owner, Tommy is very nice.

Then why not hire someone temporarily to watch the garage during restaurant hours and close the garage door when the restaurant closes?

Be careful on Erie Street and 10th

#20

Just can't stay away

They put up a stop sign and changed the light to flashing red all directions. I wasn't even paying attention, and didn't even see it until my husband pointed it out. The two cars in front of my went right through the stop sign and the guy behind me looked confused as to why I was stopping.

So anyone driving on 10th, don't assume the people on Erie see you or know to stop. I think everyone is just used to that intersection the way it was. Proceed with caution.

The pedestrians are as bad as the drivers here.

My friend Dirt McGirt is absolutely correct with this statement.

You guys have no clue. I have been 50% or more across the crosswalk (with the lights in my favor) and had drivers turn into the street I was crossing, without looking, causing me to take evasive action.

One guy even stopped and came at me again, obviously thinking that I should back up and let him pass in front of me. It was in a clearly marked crosswalk. The guy was turning out of another street where there was a stop sign. There were no parked cars obscuring his view.

Unfortunately these are regular occurrences. Some of you people clearly don't walk much or you would have experienced something similar yourselves.

Quote:

Drivers can?t always stop on a dime when that happens ?last minute? --- even at 25MPH which is the limit for most of these streets.

Most drivers are not driving at 25mph. On Jersey or Marin (where it is clearly posted), they are driving considerably faster. In the case of Marin at 8th and 9th most of the drivers are hitting 50mph.

I drive and I walk and I agree that there are as many bad pedestrians as there are bad drivers. I try to be a courteous driver as well as a courteous pedestrian. I am not going to cross the street unless I can tell that the driver can see me. This includes a driver who could possibly make a turn where I am crossing, there can be a blind spot in the car where they might not be able to see me at an angle.

I am going to have to look up this law and read it so I understand. Currently, when I am turning on Washington Street in Hoboken every morning from Observer, I get a green arrow and the pedestrians have a Don't Walk sign. They step into lane one, but I turn into lane three. They usually get the point then that they are not to cross because we have the right of way. But my confusion is, if they are showing intent by stepping into lane one, I can no longer continue? I have to stop and impede traffic and let all the jaywalkers cross?

We have a condo association. We are a very small association though. Only 7 units. I am not sure if my neighbors got theirs or not. I was picking up my neigbors mail for a month, and it looked like he got something from the, not sure if it was the survey or not. He is registered with the state as the association secretary and I am registered as the treasurer.

So does this mean pedestrians can walk against red lights and cross whenever they want to? Get into the crosswalk when I have the green arrow and they have a Don't Walk sign and we are all supposed to stop and hold up traffic because they are too entitled to wait for a walk signal?

Re: JC Post Office - Be Very Afraid

#30

Just can't stay away

I try and avoid the post office on Washington as much as I can. I had my mail held one time while on vacation. I had requested for my mail to be delivered and restarted on a certain date. Mail did not start up again for 3 days. I went to the post office to the window that says "Mail Held" told them I wanted to pick up my mail and also complain that it had not started up again. I was shoo'd away to go to another window. The other window was where people got their passports. There were 4 people in line to get their passports. I went back to mail held and said, "look, forget the complaint part, I just want my mail." She told me this is not where you pick up held mail. I told her the window says "mail held," I just saw someone pick up their held mail there and that is where I had picked it up in the past. She refused to give me my mail so I had to wait about 30 minutes in line for people to get passports so I could pick up my mail. I sent in a written complaint, but I am sure no one cares.
