Reply to comment by garth_meringue in Did your heating fail to keep your temp up last weekend when it was below 10 deg? by Blecher_onthe_Hudson
Sure, you can look at it that way, if you believe that being a renter means your life should be perfect, unlike a homeowner. Homeowners all over the country found their heating struggling during this recent cold snap.
I guess you have a hard time seeing the difference between 10° challenging the heating system and a slumlord who sets the thermostat at 60° to save money.

That’s new. The LEDs usually name the stations if it’s to Newark (EXP, GROV, HAR, NWK) or Hoboken (EXP, NWP, HOB).
The bottom sign should read “Next train headed to Newark..” or something like that.

Better information would be if it works and is it safe.

Yes, old brick houses are uninsulated and it's very difficult insulating without gutting them. It is what it is, so you need to pump in enough BTUs.

sad but true . Why take a 5% kick back on 10million in cost when you can take a 5% kickback on 100 million in cost at no expense to you and just the tax payer and help make a buddy richer

Isn't the regulation that the heat needs to be at least 68 overnight? Are you trying to feel out if you can get away with being a scofflaw, or if your tenant will report you?

Rabble & Lion has Donut Plant on the weekends. Go. They are really good. Then you'll be hooked and you'll start traveling into the city for more.

Reply to Fulop's text to Hoboken Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher about the Cannabis Dispensary he has nothing to do with. August 2021. by EyesOnImprovement
Nobody is denying that his wife is one of the members in the LLC that bought the commercial space and is the landlord for the dispensary.
Assuming this screenshot is even real, there are a hundred reasons he could have asked those questions, all of which having to do with getting a quick answer for his wife, as a landlord who likely has a lease contingent upon, or a MOU to enter a lease contingent upon, approval of the dispensary.
Feel free to look at the dispensary's license application, which is available on-line, and search for an ownership interest Fulop or his wife have in the dispensary. Spoiler alert - there isn't one.

Given the date on the text message, this looks like it's a week before the city council passed their local ordinance on the matter. And the deadline state-wide for those ordinances was August 21. Which is the sort of government work I could easily see one official asking another:
>"Do you have a map for where marijuana is going to be allowed in Hoboken?"
Where's the part about the dispensary?

With destination dispatch, you could use fewer elevators with better efficiency.

You’d be correct. Great donuts but not what you are looking for

Literally anyone could have created this. There are a lot of people in JC who have too much time on their hands and should be out looking for a job.

Faq is good. Its worth adding you can search for apartments in a bunch of places like trulia.com, apartments.com, I like hotpads.com . https://www.equityapartments.com/ and https://www.newportrentals.com/ are the two biggest corporate building owners.

Depends on what you're looking for. Like a lot of commenters noted, there are a lot of good dog-friendly parks in the area. Apartments with personal/small-group shared yards are rare and fairly small in the area. But there are a lot of managed buildings with large outdoor spaces if it's financially/style what you want. I love Columbus Towers, big outdoor space and LOTS of dogs here, plus it's nice to have someone at a front desk to manage things esp if you're getting used to the area. I'd usually recommend trying the larger apartments for a year to ease into to neighborhood, but it's definitely not for everyone.

I recommend looking at the areas you can afford and then come back to this thread and ask about those areas. Jersey City is huge by itself, let alone the surrounding area.

Reply to Jersey City dog friendly? by BerryFit3491
The worst thing about JC besides the corrupt BOE is that way too many people have dogs and they treat their dogs better than their fellow humans.
