We had our moving truck right out front on the cobblestone street. Let management know when you are moving and they will reserve the elevator for you.

It's illegal because you do not have adequate egress in case of a fire. If there is a fire and someone dies you will most likely be serving jail time.
Banks will not lend to you with illegal apartments unless the appraiser overlooks it but I wouldn't hold my breath since the implementation of HVCC aka the Home Value Code of Conduct.

And for the record I drive a car and put 93 in it so don't blast me for being a liberal mass transit snob. I just think it makes sense to take mass transit whenever possible.

I know it's sacrilegious to talk of raising the gas tax but honestly our gas is so damn cheap compared to the rest of the country. I'd be willing to pay another 25cents per gallon if it fixes the budget and gets the tunnel built. Jesus, we don't even pump our own gas. NJ caters the car driver more than any other state in the union.

It is a letter she sent to Mr. Barnap who is part of the association that has the authority to deny Hard Grove the Entertainment License as well as the Dance License they are about to obtain. If you resend the same letter and pass it on to as many others as possible to resend, we can make a serious dent in the situation. Talk it up with the neighbors and whoever you can and remind people: "It is easier to stop these people from obtaining a license. Once they have it, it will be near impossible to have it revoked." To Whom It May Concern, I live on Wayne street around the corner from Hard Grove Cafe and read in the paper about the Entertainment and Dance License(s) that they are trying acquire. I have spoken to most of my neighbors regarding this situation and EVERYONE feels the same as I do. We do not want Hard Grove to recieve it for several reasons: 1. The noise pollution. As it stands every holiday/special occassion/event is used as an excuse for insanely loud music til late (1-2am). Most of us like myself have small children. They post speakers on the outside of the restaurant as well as in. 2. Street congestion. During these events you cant even walk on the sidewalk around their establishment you have to step into the street to pass. 3. Irresponsibility. It is my understanding after speaking to a patron of theirs that the owner herself was packing alcoholic drinks in TO GO cups for sale and letting people leave with them. This is highly illegal and they should be fined for this. If you dont believe me you can inquire with the JCP dept. as they are fully aware of what occurred recently. Everyone enjoys entertainment now and then but if we wanted the constant hassle it brings a family community, people such as myself would not left ny to live in Jersey City.

I personally had fun telling the guy to stuff it when I produced my valid dog license. My issue is that JC has the resources for checking dog licences but can't stop people from running red lights and blowing stops signs.

Has anyone looked into constellation energy? I received a postcard in the mail stating that they should be able to provide the same electric service as PSEG but at about 10% cheaper.

That's not them. I live on Wayne and see this train-wreck drunk drug addict couple basically everyday. The guy is prob 6'3-6'4 shaved bald, Hispanic who now walks with a limp. He didn't have that limp a few years ago but I started noticing it about a year and a half ago. In the summer he wears a long white T most of the time and baggy jeans. The girl is prob 5'3-5'4 with muffin tops spilling out her shorts and tank top. I noticed the tank top because her arms are usually covered in bruises. I've seen her numerous times with black eyes. She is usually the more f'd up one and has a hard time stringing a sentence together. Don't ever walk by them if you are smoking a cigarette because they will definitely ask you for one, even if they are currently smoking one. I've seen them screaming at each other in the middle of Jersey Ave, passed out drunk on Wayne just west of Jersey, on Newark screaming and calling out the manager of Sawadee in front of a ton of customers, and just walking all over downtown causing all types of drunken drugged up mischief. I'm interested in hearing more of their back story if any oldtimers know more about them.

Christie Cancelling Trans Hudson ARC tunnel

WNYC News
EmailSharePrintLike This Sources Say New Jersey Gov. Christie to Pull Plug on Hudson River Tunnel Tuesday, October 05, 2010 By Andrea Bernstein http://beta.wnyc.org/articles/wnyc-ne ... ll-plug-on-hudson-tunnel/ The $8.7 billion trans-Hudson river transit tunnel project is expected to be killed later this week by Gov. Chris Christie, according to several sources familiar with the project. Barring any last minute reprieve, Gov. Christie will announce later this week that he's pulling the plug on the transit tunnel, known as the ARC project, which would have connected New Jersey to Manhattan. New Jersey has already committed $2.7 billion towards the project, with the rest coming from the federal government and the Port Authority. Construction got underway in June 2009, but last month, Christie halted the project, saying he wanted to review costs. Now several sources say Christie has made up his mind that it's just too risky -- and that he needs the money for roads. Speaking at a campaign event for Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bill Brady of Illinois, Christie says he's made no decision -- but he made his thinking clear. "I was alerted to the fact that there were potential for significant cost overruns, and New Jersey's broke. And the federal government made it clear that New Jersey will be on the hook for any cost overruns on the project," Christie says. NJ Transit, the Port Authority, and the Federal Transit Administration declined to comment. On Monday, New Jersey's top transportation official said the state might divert money from the ARC project to Garden State roadways. Transportation Commissioner Jim Simpson told legislators that the state could reallocate more than $2 billion from the project. "You've got that billion coming in, $100 million a year, that is rededicated, flexed to ARC," he said. "So if ARC didn't happen, there's a billion dollars, a pot of money, for roads and bridges and things like that." But the region could lose $6 billion from the federal government and the Port Authority says those allocated funds are specific to the project. Simpson said the decision to continue or cancel the ARC tunnel would be made on its own merits. Simpson made his comments before a legislative committee. The committee approved a $1.7 billion financing package, allowing work to resume on other road and bridge projects around the state after a one-day moratorium.

Wanted to like this place but I delivery last night was over 2 hours. The nice lady on the phone said 45 -50 mins and 2 hours later after I called 6 times the food showed up ICE COLD. They wouldn't even pick up the phone so I could complain. I want this place to succeed and I know that they just opened but 2 hours and ICE COLD food is pretty inexcusable.

It's a big no-no for the banks if you try to get a mortgage on it. You may get away with it but I wouldn't count on it. I do a lot of 2-4 unit properties and this comes up from time to time usually when purchasing from an old timer. I have my client or the realtor remove the stove and fridge prior to the appraisal. As long as the gas lines are capped you should be OK. Some banks make you remove the cabinets as well. You can use a 3 as a 2 and a 2 as a 1 but not vise versa.

Please post his info or if he has a store. I would prefer to buy them from someone local as opposed to going online. I got the idea from him so I would like to give him the business. Thanks -Chief

Sorry Slacky, I work in NYC and for the most part try my best NOT to shop, drink or eat there. I do of course have drinks and dinner in NYC but I tend to try and stay in JC as much as possible.

I for one am sick on Manhattan. Lived there for years. It's full of college kids, D-bags and tourists now. I spend my time either in Brooklyn or Jersey City as do many of my friends. I can afford to live in Manhattan but I choose to live in JC. No NYC income Tax, no NYS mortgage tax when I bought, and I can be on the beach in less than an hour without waiting inline at the Holland Tunnel. This is a great addition to downtown, Newark Ave in particular.

NJ Employment Attorney Needed

My neighbor recently left a job where her former employer owes her around 15k in back commissions that they have not paid. She came to me for a NJ attorney referral but all the lawyers I know work in NY only. Are there any NJ attorneys that the group can recommend that specialize in employment law? She may have been discriminated against as well.
Trying to help her out since she is very upset about it. Thanks
