Really? Nothing??

Why? And by why I mean why isn't there a comprehensive map available to the people that they serve?

Does anyone know of a map that shows all of the bus lines/routes in Jersey City?

All I have to say about this building is we were prospective buyers at one point. I'm not going to say DO NOT buy there BUT...

If you're considering it you MUST have a home inspector come in. MANY many things were pointed out to us.

Have your inspector pay particularly close attention to the entire brick facade (front back and sides of building) and the lintels above the windows.

Tick Tock Tick Tock...It's just a matter of time...

Re: Roof repair?

We used Capitol and were VERY happy.

They removed 4 old layers of tar and paper roofing, knocked down one troublesome chimney, replaced our gutters, and laid a "rubber roof"

In fact they broken one of the glass panels when removing one of our skylights (necessary in order to lay the rubber roofing membrane).

They cut and put a small piece of plywood in place and came back and replaced the piece with glass within 2 days. Very efficient.

I thought their pricing was competitive.

Tax Assesment
#6

We recently received a notice from the Jersey City Office of the City Assessor stating that they had increased the value of our home by $25K. We were also retroactively billed to back in 2008.

When I called to find out why they said it was because we had pulled a permit in 2008. I said yes, we needed to get our roof fixed it had begun to leak. I was informed that this increased the value of our home.

My response was, "This was not a capital improvement but a general maintenance issue. Had we not repaired it the value of our home would substantially decreased. This was done to maintain it's current value. Additionally we were only charged $6K for the repairs and most of that cost was labor so what is the 25K assessment based upon?"

The blunt response I got was, " That's not true but, if you want you can't try and appeal it." I'm not sure what wasn't true but I could tell that the person had no interest in explaining themselves further.

Of course we are going to attempt to appeal this assessment but, I do have some questions so I'm not walking into this situation blind.

-Is it allowable for them to re-assess you for general maintenance issues?
-Are there any laws/codes that define this?
- Is there a difference between General Maintenance and Capital Improvement?
-Has anyone else gone through this process?
-Should we get representation?

I really appreciate any recommendations that you all can provide. THANKS!
