Same question here. The original article stated that letters would be going out 3 weeks from publication, which means we should all have gotten them by now.
Called City Hall but can't get through. Does anyone know what's the official word on this?

I'm in Journal Square and almost all of the condo buildings by me got huge increases while the two and three family homes got decreases, just for context. I don't think the appraisers are valuing fairly when a two bedroom condo next door to a three family home with yard and parking spaces will have the same proposed taxes... The second would easily sell for more than double on the open market now... Is it due to the lack of sales bc these homes are so desirable that is messing up the assessments in JSQ, little India, and by 78?

Hazzuh! I called the Tax Assessor's office and spoke to a very nice woman who gave me this website: http://asinj.com/revaluation.asp?p=current&id=359
Type in your address to see if your property is colored in, indicating it has been inspected. Obviously if it is colored in and you had no idea it had been inspected, that's bad and you should call the asinj company. For those of us not yet colored in, I was told to sit tight.Quote:

What is incredibly frustrating is how the reporter absolutely sticks by her misreporting despite multiple comments stating that this story is bullcrap. She keeps insisting that the owner was bamboozled because of an incorrect bathroom/bedroom count--however, multiple people have sourced the original MLS sheet showing 6 bedrooms as well as the owner's OWN for rent listing showing 6 bedrooms. She completely ignores his purchase price. I would bet good money that the house is not 1500 sq ft as he claimed, anyone with eyes can see that. Several comments have calculated square foot based on Google Earth/dug up property records that show around 2600 sq ft. I could go on and on. The article and journalist either have an agenda... or are incredibly dense. Neither of which is good in media.

No there is nothing you can do. There are caps on class size. Once the cap is reached, there is a lottery for the remaining spots (minus sibling spots, etc). You will find out in June once registration completes and any applicable lotteries are held which location your son will attend.

Re: Need a car blocking my driveway towed

On a related note, I've noticed that the number of cars blocking driveways has grown obscenely in Journal Square over the last few months. I don't know if the owners are renting out their parking spots and then parking in front of their driveway, but it's extremely unfair.
A prime example is the pink brick house on the corner of Romaine and Sip. goo.gl/1D0waw It has a 2-ish car garage, which has a curb cut out-- fine. It also has a 2 car curb cutout for its backyard for 3 parking spots in the backyard. This mean he has 5 private parking spots, plus the 2 spots the owner makes himself by parking in front of the cutouts. But he is an ultimate jerk, because he park in the garage, it's for storage. And he doesn't park in the backyard. He parks all his cars in the stretch of road in front of his house, leaving 1/2 car space separating each car. When his family members/tenants get home at night, then they start moving street parking spots, then into the backyard, and then parking in front of the driveway, in that order. Essentially, that entire 150 foot stretch of road is completely taken by that one house's cars. How is that legal--who authorized this???

Esp their meats yikes. A lot of things are double the prices of local shops and 555.

According to the report, the family had a valid work order and permits from the city, so those must have been filed before the Historic District vote was passed. Why does the city not honor their own permit? If JC does not go back and force residents to undo previous "non-historical" renovations, why does it stop this previously approved renovation, if the couple eked in prior to the deadline? Another blemish to Fulop's administration in my eyes. These things should be cut and dry... only allow work that is already permitted, but anything that has not been issued as of the date of the law cannot be done. So if they for example, received permits already for siding, but not for windows, then they cannot buy Home Depot plain windows and need proper historic colored windows.

I cannot say enough BAD things about ARK Management in North Bergen, who manages my building.
It is impossible to get anyone to do anything and the Management company dimes and nickels the residents. It takes 3-8 weeks to get a new or replacement laundry card. It's been over 6 weeks and they still have not fixed my key fob. It just stopped working one day and every time I call they take a message and say they will get on it but I still am locked out. Every year they implement more ridiculous policies to make life difficult for residents... sheesh.

Are you talking about the 1 bd condos on Corbin? That location is safe, fine for a commuter. It's a pretty hilly walk up to the PATH, but can be done in about 10 minutes, less if you're really fit. Parking is also easy on that street, it's one of the widest in the area.

1. The three below are in the same clinic--Bimonte is head of JCMC OB dept, so he's the boss of pretty much all the OB's that have offices in 377 Jersey, including Yousry. I've seen Bimonte in my second trimester and his office staff are very nice and efficient. Bimonte himself is a bit traditional.
Michael Bimonte Cheryl Carter Long-Gue Hu 2. As others have said, Yousry is a great doctor. Wonderful bedside manner and very knowledgeable. However, his practice is ridiculously oversubscribed. I was his patient until halfway through my second trimester (Dec. 2015) when I couldn't handle the wait times anymore. I have never been seen with less than a 2 hour wait. Usu. it takes 3 to 3.5 hours from my signing in until I leave. I see so many third trimester mommies waiting with me and verbal fights with the reception staff often. His staff are unprofessional to say the least, check Yelp reviews. Also, Yousry himself does questionable billing practices--even though I was pregnant and under global pay, he still billed my insurance for "nausea" visits at every checkup so he can double dip, which his billing staff said was common and she gets many angry calls from patients about. Just FYI. 3. I had a procedure done at JCMC in my first trimester. Their L&D nurses are very nice, the food is pretty decent, facilities are fine. Only thing to keep in mind is JCMC does NOT have a nursery, babies MUST room in with mommies. Obv this doesn't apply to NICU, but if you have a bad C-section and will be in the hospital for several days, just keep in mind that you prob will want family or help with you most of the time because of the nursery thing... Finally, JCMC L&D was waaay better than Palisades when I delivered, in every single way. Migliaccio practice delivers at Palisades and Englewood. Stay away from Palisades until their Hackensack merger is fully in effect and practices improve.

Sighs, I hope this girl knows she is blatantly advertising breaking occupancy regulations. Although I doubt LeFrak cares. 3 single adults living in a 1 bd apartment (and most of those high rise 1bd's are 700-800 sq ft) is pretty abysmal.
I used to live in Montgomery Towers and that building frequently posted public notices about NJ state occupancy rules and how the violations in the building were a health hazard... and how the building couldn't properly exterminate and fumigate because all the violators refused to allow the exterminators in. It got quite disgusting by the time I moved out. I personally hope the state/city starts cracking down on blatant violations... that will help lower the rents slightly in the high rises
