Wow, Having one car is enough of a pain in the ass. I wonder where those few people are parking their 5+ cars?

1% problems I guess.

But yeah, way too many people have their own car here. Im a hypocrite bc I had one too in JSQ. I guess its more of a reflection of every other city in America as we all know NYC is an exception to the rule when it comes to people dont have cars. However, JC is kind of unique for a city this small to have 24/7 mass transit, even as shitty as the PATH is. It is non-stop so you can get by without a car. But as long as there are giant box stores in downtown, there will be a ton of people who need their cars here.

I'm amazed someone hasn't thrown this out there yet, but it seems to me as if Chico has spent a crazy amount of time driving this vehicle around JC and other places after midnight...making several stops each time. One can assume he has a stable of girlfriends out there, but a more feasible explanation is that he's delivering small bags of things to people. Now, I don't know this guy and have no right to blame someone for being a dope dealer, but until someone can provide a legitimate excuse for this guy's frequent "home visits" that last for mere minutes, then what the hell is he doing making all these stops after midnight to people all over the place? Seems suspoicious to me and I could care less if I am accusing this dirtbag of anything....as far as I am concerned, he's pocketed a percentage of my property taxes for the past however long he has been abusing the system in JC. Can't wait until the "higher ups" start getting their own due justice also. Obviously, it's just not the lower end workers abusing this system. Kudos to the magnificent reporters that brought this all to light...too bad out own city employees and MAYOR do not possess the integrity to do these inspections on their own.

What a waste of air. I hope the court throws the book at him.

Yesterday afternoon, at the 14th St station: announcement playing stating that due to signal failure all trains on the 33rd St line were experiencing delays (seriously, is this a joke!?) A train to Hoboken pulls into the station and EVERY CAR had ample seating available. Heck, some cars seem to have had at least half the seats empty. 10 minutes later, the JSQ train shows up... EVERY CAR is crowded, no seats available to anyone.

They REALLY need to adjust the JSQ and HOB schedules to alter the frequency of trains heading to each destination. It is a (cruel) joke to run half empty trains to HOB, while JSQ trains are running with crowded conditions.

The ratio of WTC to 33rd trains is becoming just as much of a problem, I think. Two WTC trains come for every 33rd St train, and typically every other WTC train is pretty empty, while the 33rd Street trains are packed at any hour before 9am. On days that I commute I tend to get to Grove between 9-9:15 so it's not bad, but if I have an early situation I have to get to, the 33rd Street line is Sardinesville.

I grew up in a fairly homogeneous place (white straight Republicans with 2-4 kids) and always said I would live in a diverse city (racial, economic, sexual orientation) when I grew up as I prefer to live in a place that reflects the broader world. It's more interesting that way, meet all types of people and yes better food options.

Sounds shady on both ends. The C.O. would be obtained before selling a property as you stated below so why not establish it before actually putting the home on the market? Selling a home with a wink and a nod and with prior knowledge that it contains an illegal apartment is possibly screwing the buyer in a big way. Is it really okay to sell a property that has a rental property that is illegal? After all that extra income is usually a big factor in a person's decision to buy. I see no problem in people knowing upfront how a property is zoned. To do so otherwise is deception IMO. As far as taxes? That is something that could be modified IMO.

"Prior to selling your property, an owner would have to obtain a Certificate of Compliance issued by a Zoning officer. The compliance process would include inspecting each property prior to sale, part of which would be to ascertain that the property is being used in accordance to its zoning requirements, (example- zoned for two families, used as three families)."

Almost every buyer engages an RE lawyer, and has a home inspection already done as part of the existing sales process. Why isn't that enough? Licensing those inspectors might be a better way of approaching the zoning question instead of city red tape.

I'd much rather see a sale/transfer trigger a reval on the property than this nonsense.
