Don't forget about the time when OP got the car stuck in a storm gutter

This is a good Tort law question! Management had constructive notice to a defect on their property and had a duty to fix/repair it, I wonder if OP assumed some risk by using that lot because they knew of a potentially dangerous situation there?

Previously 2 pieces were broken. They fixed one of the pieces which gave us enough support to get our cars in and out. The other one just broke this morning ending up damaging the car.

That really stinks. It sounds like management definitely had constructive notice.

Out of curiosity  – Was there another way in/out of the parking? Did the property require your car traverse that particular area?

How much is a liquor license anyway? I'm sure there are different tiers.

To be fair if you knew these were broken for 2 months.. how’d you still drive into it?

You should be reporting it as an accident because it is an accident. I could be wrong but I believe this is classified as a collision.

Revamp the whole system. End out-dated drinking laws like no outside containers. Let every food establishment sell drinks. But also, increase penalties on drunk driving and anti-social behavior when drinking.

That would be my preference to not report it to carfax. Before contacting the property management i wont to make sure i am not missing anything

Rent is just too high for the space required to have a nice gym. Off memory, Base is something like 30,000sf on its own.

You should be able to go after management company for loss of value as well but your own insurance will usually not help with that.

Sometimes body shops report the damage/fix to carfax anyway, so not calling police or reporting to insurance does not necessarily help with this. Also, you should be honest when you sell the car regardless.

To this end - I would suggest getting quotes from Carvana etc. today for your car with an accident and without and save the screen shots. That would help you negotiate with management company for loss of value.

There are several levels to a Carfax report. Something like this would show up as minor most likely. I'm not an expert with Carfax. Your other option would be talking to property management and asking them to pay for damages so it's not reported to your insurance. But that's up to you.

Yes but your car started losing value the moment you bought it.

Does insurance report it as accident? Does it affect the car value?

Wont that affect the carfax report and decrease the car value? (First time car owner)

Call the police, file a police report then contact your insurance and provide that report to them. Treat it like a car accident basically. Your insurance will figure out the details of the property owners.

You contact your insurance and explain what happened. They’ll ask for the address and see who insured that property and see who’s libel.

Not a great start to the morning! The drainage covers are broken since past 2 months. I have asked the management company to fix the thing but no one seems to pay attention to the problem. This morning my car got stuck and damaged the front bumper.

How do I go about it? Police report? Insurance? Ask management to pay for the damage? Lawsuit?! Would this affect carfax? Or insurance?

Their white source pasta is my favorite.

On top of that, they've enjoyed years of limited competition.

NY also has a class of license that is cheaper, but you can only serve NY state produced beer & wine. Would love to see that support of NJ businesses. (They also give tax credits to producers who use a certain percentage of ingredients produced by NY state farmers).

Meanwhile the license lobby in NJ is tossing fits because breweries are having events and maybe coordinate with a food truck, how dare they offer a nice experience! When they are pulling shit like that and talking about their license as ‘investment assets’ and can get loans based on their value (of a government controlled/restricted/manufactured ‘asset’), it’s gotta be time for change. As long as they don’t pull a taxi medallion too hard and let things cushion down, I’m all for the change

Haha sounds like Base should have taken the Equinox approach. If you’re going to pay a premium, you expect a premium product. Not just equipment and amenities, but also the idea that they won’t pack the gym with members ruining the premium experience.

IMO, high end gyms should have an intake survey. One of those questions should be “what is the typical time you work out?” .. this way they can deny or accept applicants based on volume.
