We recently renovated our unit, was told by our contractor that we needed to put in hard wired detectors, when the final inspection JC guy from the building dept showed up, that was all he really looked at. I hate them.

AGREE! We did PATH to 33rd, walked 2 blocks to LIRR right to Air train, it was a breeze.

A bit off point but for interest, we took a Uber XL as we had massive luggage from EWR to Grove Street area this past Sunday night, it was about 29$ and like 4AM when we landed, it took the driver about 10 minutes to get to EWR. It was perfect, no beef with any of it.

How did they get it, break a window? Sorry buddy, been there..

Hello,
I'm new here, who is "Yvonne"? I ask this in all sincerity, please do not be a jerk..I just see this name all over JC List..

Thank you everyone!! And yes, I will need them balanced as well. We're new and want to keep the $$ local.

My old, tired, ugly but runs great car needs some decent used snow tires. We used to go out to Northern Blvd in Queens where there are countless tire shops, can anyone recommend someone in JC? I would want them mounted, etc.

Off topic, but does St. Lucy's accept/need clothing?

Make up some BS to your landlord...tell him "some old nearby neighbors" said a fire/building inspector showed up and didn't like the burnt out bulbs that they had and said they should be professionally installed. It's not like a screw in lamp bulb..tell your landlord you just wanted to double check with him that he's okay with you doing it. Make it sound like you're doing him a favor. He'll hop right over.

Which one is better/faster, the Bayonne or the Heights? Need to register out of state car and get new actual DL, ( do not need to take test or anything, just exchange)..thanks!

ONLY went there once to order a take out. Sat at the bar waiting forever, placed order with the bartender as there was no front desk person. After that, all the employees instantly started staring at their smart phones. After a while, a bag of food was put on the front desk. When I asked if it was mine I got an "I don't know". I flagged down a waiter and he said he would "go check", but he also was busy on his phone. After several minutes the bartender said "oh, i guess that is your food". I said "It's been sitting there forever, it's ice cold by now"...you can guess the rest..never went back.

I think I sat next to this guy at a meeting. He wants to stuff $$$$ in his pockets while building huge structures on our tiny narrow streets, block everyone from light and air, then go back to his mcmansion in the burbs. And yes, I own in the Village.

Please let us know how this works out for you. I recently got a building permit for our small row house condo and I did have to have the plans professionally done, provide 2 sets to the Building Department and have them stamped. My project is a bit bigger than yours, but I will be interested in who you hire and how it goes. Good luck!

Always thought somehow it could be a great dog park..

HOW wide is the street? My understanding is the height of the building is supposed to be based on the width of the street. Also, take another 6 feet for the height of the building for flooding. Will the developer be putting things on the roof of the new building also?
How high are the ceilings in the new structure, and how much space are they allowing between the floors?( I think it's about 1 and a half feet, not sure)
Is blocking your balcony a fire hazard or anything?
Sound?

We just purchased a condo with a private backyard/deck in downtown JC, has anyone ever ran a private natural gas line for BBQ, etc? We BBQ year round several times a week. Does a gas line have to be underground, or can it come under the deck into the back yard? The CC&R really doesn't say anything, this is an old rowhouse. Thank you.

Hello, we will be moving to the Village soon, wondering if you still have a parking spot for rent, thank you.

Hello,
We are purchasing a small condo in the 07302 zip code, the condo association does have flood insurance and the building does have a sump pump.
Can anyone recommend a good home owner insurance company person/, or who to stay away from? Appreciate any suggestions and advice. Many thanks.

Hello,
Has anyone done a condo reno (not a high rise, a 6 unit brownstone/rowhouse) and got permits for plumbing and electric? Can you tell me how big of a deal, price, and any other suggestions for the 07302 zip code? Thank you.
