There’s also a mosque in journal square where you could probs get involved. They’re wonderful about feeding the homeless and they even gave me some food last Ramadan (I’m not homeless). But yeah, parks dept/library is a good starting point.

If you get involved in any TNR programs around here lmk. I think we might be lacking in that area.

The person you’re replying to was specifically talking about a house rather than an apartment.

However, heat pump systems do exist in apartment buildings. The high rise I live in has them (the condensers are up on the roof) and I definitely prefer it to PTACs, but this type of setup seems to be rare in JC.

In Asia, lots of high rise apartments have heat pumps, but they typically just mount the condenser units on the facade of the building, which is not aesthetically pleasing but way cheaper to install than how we typically do it in this country.

They are running a promo right now with 1-2 months free. That’s not much of a discount. I’m going to repeat what I said with a different poster, Jersey City luxury apartments are relatively cheap right now and it’s the winter. You might have to pay someone to take it over. Newport has apartments the same size for ~3k.

Thanks for responding. I had figured there had to be a few people out with this experience in the area, whether for themselves or someone they know, so I appreciate the info.

There is a Porta in Montclair where she lives and we ate there, they were very accommodating and knew her. So she goes often.

Her allergies are the usual - nuts, seafood, soy but also nightshades like tomatoes and eggplant (Porta subs ricotta for the tomatoes on the Margherita pizza and it works). I found out today sunflower seeds and chick peas and coconut are a no go zone as well. Are you in a similar situation?
