Hey heights (or any other old-timer) do you remember the water meter installer murder? It was in the 80?s when every building in JC was getting new water meters installed. The company that was doing the work hired a bunch of losers to do it. Turns out a young woman was found dead in her house. The water meter installer did it. Can?t find the details but will keep looking.

And for you nerds?I found this New Jersey State report from May 2001 while looking for the murder piece. Kind of interesting history of JC?s water supply. Cool pictures, postcards, maps , and old documents.

I knew this was going to happen it was just a matter of time. Even the legitimate ones are vague as to what is expected of them to do. They don't get the procedures, they should go back to reval school.

Jersey City officials are warning residents to watch out for phone reval inspectors, after they received reports that men claiming to be inspectors for the citywide revaluation are gaining access to residents? homes.
Workers for Realty Appraisal Co. of West New York, which the city is paying $3.2 million to perform the dreaded reval, carry two forms of identification, one from Realty Appraisal and the other a letter from the city, officials stressed today.
City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill confirmed that the city has received reports of residents who say men posing as reval inspectors gained access to their homes and took interior photographs.
Proper inspectors do not take interior photos, the city said today.
If residents are not sure a person requesting to enter their home is a legitimate inspector, they should get the inspector?s name and ask them to wait outside while they call the city?s Reval Hotline at (210) 547-4538, available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., to confirm their identity.
If you believe an imposter inspector is at your home, call 911.
Residents are able to schedule an appointment with the reval company by calling Realty Appraisal at (201) 946-6984.
Anyone who believes they have been targeted by an imposter reval inspector should call the Jersey City Police Department at (201) 547-5477 and speak to an officer or detective.
Inspectors began going door-to-door in the city last fall to inspect homes for the city?s first citywide revaluation since 1988. In February, the city announced that the reval, which was expected to be completed by the end of September, would likely not wrap up for an additional year.
The city cited problems with the city?s tax maps and an unexpectedly large number of residents who wouldn?t allow reval inspectors into their homes as the cause for the delay.JJ
