I rent two apartments to Mexican immigrants (purchased a property with them as tenants). One family lives there 27 years the other apartment was rented for 14 years. One family agreed on 10% increase, the other family didn't and refused to vacate. As of today I started the eviction proceedings. I had 1 thousand dollars positive cashflow. I expect to be around $700 dollars negative in 2018. That's after 11 years of ownership with an acquisition price of 2007. That makes it a very shitty investment. Good job Jersey City.

BTW, I do have check-valve as I prefer rain water flood over a fecal matter. I worked on waterproofing of my basement since 2014 with various degrees of success. You better be judge of that.
Consider that my basement is 4' below the street level. As you can see the check-valve performance is the least of my worries. I got about an inch of water that came from the ground https://youtu.be/b0vOs7zZfd0

A bit presumptions, but mostly correct.
See we all don't leave on the same elevation level. Some of us have parlor level where others have basement floors. If you never seen fountains of raw sewage spring up 2' from basins, I invite you tomorrow to Center Street where you will see it for yourself (we will have 2" of cumulative precipitations) Do I need you to explain physics to calculate force needed to create 24" fountain? It is quite to possible for sewers situated in low laying areas to have back-pressure of 5 or even 10 psi. Our beloved standard 4" PVC fittings are rated to 5.5 psi. If one doesn't have a check-valve expect to see sewage at the nearest maintenance port. If you have more than 153" of water column, you can see your own sh.. regardless your check-valve situation.

Your check-valve has very little to do with the flooding. It prevents raw sewage to come back into your home sewer system. It helps to prevent raw sewage spilling out of maintenance ports.
Your flood problems have to do with water table levels. Downtown sits very low to the sea level. The top soil layer has a certain amount of absorbancy. At one point when It saturated enough the water table raises. Your water comes from underneath. You could try to patch the cracks in the floor. I am not sure you will succeed. Ultimately the city has to split storm and sewer system, create sewer overflow storage tanks. It would cost millions and won't bring any votes on upcoming elections. So get on your bike lane and pretend it doesn't smell.

I own a property situated right between McDonalds and Ferris High school. Every school day I live through an act of ecoterrorism. On average I throw 50 gal worth of their garbage twice a week(corner property 150' sidewalk). Sometimes I wonder if I should apply for a federal grant to cover the cost of the garbage bags.

Last year I bought a property on Center St following exact same logic. Even though it's on the sunny side of 78, everything about Mercer Loop would apply.
The area is changing rapidly. Mostly populated by lower?mid class home owners (very few renters). In one year time, I don't recall any muggings, home invasions, or any other criminal incidents. There is not much foot traffic, but it is counter?balanced with plentiful car traffic. We have formidable policy presense because of proximity to the high school and the turnpike. What you should be really concerned is the flood possibility and the trash from McDonald. Good luck.
