How was I being a bigot? I was just identifying him the same way he identified the inebriated person as being spanish. Except I wasn't assuming bc he identified himself as being jewish in a previous post. There was no negative connotation there so please step your oversensitive self off a bridge.

James aka the jewish grinch - if you have time to go on this forum to complain about these events, then you probably have time to leave your apt 1 minute earlier to get where you need to be and continue living your shtty life.

Hello JC Listers,

I am looking for reliable and professional management company for an 8 unit walk up building. Any suggestions?

If you had positive and or negative experiences with certain management companies, please share.

Thanks much.

excellent article.

haha Josiered, you're such an idiot

Hi All,

I just killed a bug on my couch. Did some research and I'm almost positive its a bedbug. Any recommendations on pest control/exterminators who have helped with similar problems in the past?

I'm freakin out.

Much Appreciated.

Hey guys, and gals.

Who has the best bloody mary in jc? Skinner's, LITM or marco and pepe any good?

I'm talking horse raddish, tabasco, tomato juice and celery. Not some bs vodka and v8

I used john moss as well. I dont have anyone to compare him to but i was very happy with his services. His report was very thorough.

I agree with the previous posts. A 24 diner would do really well here along with a korean bbq restaurant.

However, the places that seem to be the most successful in similar areas are the places with good drinks and food at a reasonable price. A spitzer's from the LES or a five leaves in Greenpoint are two examples that would thrive in a place like JC. no frills type of place with good beers on tap, quality food at a decent price.

From your description, it sounds like you're looking for something in Journal Square. The heights you would need a car or take the light rail/path or bus/path into the city. I dont think there are many single family homes downtown and if so, they would be pricey. You would need a car in greensville and would be far from the path.

The path in JS is in a great area for commuters but the surrounding area gets a little shady esp at night but nothing like Bed Stuy. Anything outside of these areas you would be too far from public transportation.

I dont know if they are making a mockery of the area they reside, seaside sort of does that to itself and so do these girls

Hello - I moved from the city and have been really enjoying the area. I was big on going out in the east village/LES so I think I know what you're looking for and this area would suit you well.

Dixon Mills for me seemed too much like a college dorm but if you're looking to meet people and create a sort of community type of atmosphere it is worth taking a look.

As for a car, I havent had one and been doing just fine. Everything is within walking distance, even the home depot and the target. If you need a car there is always zipcar.

Places I like to visit:
Breakfast/brunch - Beechwood Cafe
Lunch - taquaria
Dinner - Satis Bistro
Favorite: pho at Nha Trang

For nightlife, I would do a walk starting from the beer garden, then to the few bars on grove, up newark and end your night at lucky 7's. That will give you a general idea of what is around however there are plenty of other bars off the beaten path.

Good luck on your search!

It is a very safe area for city living. You definitely would not need to get a cab home late night.

I really do not understand why this is a big deal. What's wrong with crackheads and a little fist fight every once in a while?

the block is not all that bad.. I can understand if you're moving in from the suburbs but besites that basketball court on mercer, its a not a bad block. The proximity from the path, markets, bars, restaurants..it's the best place to live in downtown jc IMO.

the block is not bad at all...yes the blue building across the st is ugly but if that is the reason why you dont want to buy there is stupid. The entire block has been transforming even in the last few months and if I had the money I'd buy in a second. Wait until the world trade center subway hub is done, that place will double in value.

yes, bonchon bought this place out. It should be here in the next couple of months. I hope they have beer so we can watch football games. Def a step up for the neighborhood

I live next to the park and is why I have earplugs next to my bed.

I've called the police on them a couple times when my patients is really tested. The park is supposed to close at 10 but no one monitors it and kids play out there all night.

Yea, whats up with that? I always thought there had to be some sort of physical requirement for police officers.

I think the education requirement is at a min elementary school diploma.

JC2010 - used him about 6 months ago for a 1br condo.

If you dont like him, there are many other options out there. 400 is on the high side, I'm sure you can negotiate.

Dont let the first time tax credit force you into buying. When you think about it, taking your time and finding the right home for you far exceeds saving that 2-3% on the home.

Carpetbagger - that is complete and utter bullsht upon bullsht.

Yes, he's good. see his website in the above post.

I think I paid around $275. Here is his email: inspex10@yahoo.com

Email him and ask for a sample report.

what was the purpose of this thread? Hope you're done venting

good luck with your future endeavors.

A bar where people dont typically get drunk?

I dont want this type of establishment anywhere near my home.

I used John Moss too, nice guy.

He was on time and wrote a very good thorough report. I was very satisfied and he charges a fair price. I would recommend him to anyone.

Define Irish pub.

When I think pub I just think of a dive bar. Theres O'connell's on Montgomery, iron monkey or lucky 7s or barrow bar... Whats the difference? Does it have to have to serve hot pastrami and bangers and mash to be a pub?

Cmon, thats a town, this is a city.

The only game I've ever played was Grand Theft Auto

yea but....you're in a city

What is the reason for the split? Problems with management company? Costs?

If its the cost, I always think it's better to shell out those few extra bucks bc you're bound to have issues with one another and you want that third party to be there to settle those disputes.
