That makes sense, ye the Latinx term I find people use to just describe any person from Latin America male/female or otherwise which just always sounded weird to me

If tenants stand to lose so much, why are landlord lobbies spending so much money on getting this bill stopped?

I've found the rating system is very honest. Stick to places that are 4+ stars for that reason.

By now they’d be thiccccccccccccc and you’d need to install new doors onto the street sheds.

scored a bag-full of pretzel bites on there once for like $2

was very nice

yawn....I was a tenant longer than a LL. Also I merely pointing out the absurdity how this bill violates the original contract and the unforeseen consequences that will happen when bill pass. There will be losers but sure some LLs but especially future tenants.

Even if this were the case, the bill also caps rent increases relative to inflation.

Look stop responding to me in this thread mate. As I've said a couple times, I'm not interested in talking with a landlord about this; just trying to inform tenants.

I know you're against the bill, but I'm not going to change your mind because you wish to maintain the interests of the land-owning class; and you're not going to change mine because I want to advance those of working people.

This is a class issue and you're on the other side of the fence.

I don’t see anything about that being about DWIs. That’s just misdemeanors total, with no indication whether or not that increase was consistent across all misdemeanors or drive by large increases in specific types as far as I can see. So you still have no idea what the actual increase in DWI dismissals are and whether or not it’s absurd or not.

EDIT: I also just noticed that you’re relying on the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank that’s been ardently ain’t bail and discovery reform since they were announced. So not exactly a non-biased source.

very well-written & researched article. WHY DO THE STATIONS HAVE TO BE SO BIG???

>If you're a tenant, you stand only to gain from this bill.

Nope. Not even close. Mentioned in the other thread, but the issue is that a bill like this makes it that evictions or eviction like procedures become the only way to get rid of a nuisance tenant (the "good cause"). Evicting someone for nuisance is extremely difficult. Right now a landlord can just wait out the lease and then kick them out. With a good cause requirement, they now have to go through hoops and prove it. Things like nuisance dogs, people smoking in non-smoking buildings, tenants harassing other tenants, etc. All those go from "until the lease expires" to "until the landlord decides to go through the court", essentially.

In an environment where quality of life is eroding everywhere and every day, adding another one isn't on my wish list. You already have the issue that landlords can't evict for non-payment of penalty fees (eg: penalties for smoking), so their only teeth is eviction and non-renewal of leases. Moving that to just eviction isn't a win. Nope nope nope.

You're going to skyrocket the amount of NIMBY sentiment, which in turns make it harder to build for density and increase price of single family housing, which then increase the housing problem.

I've live in countries where QoL issues were taken seriously and easier to address. NIMBY sentiment is waaaaaaay down when people don't have to be afraid of their neighbors.

>Like how would good cause eviction decrease the size of apartments???

New rental construction will simply be smaller to avoid long term tenants. Existing may be chop up. The faster you outgrow the unit, faster you move out. Faster move out ,higher the rent increase under this bill It's the same how new rental constructions and renos come with all electrical. The owners don't have to pay for any of those utility expenses since it can be separately metered. Saving them money. You don't think they want units configured in a way that will save them and generate more money

Yes turn over does mean unit is available for rent. It's the definition.

> units be smaller and less available units since turn over will drop

You're just listing off a bunch of things tenants wouldn't like with no supporting information whatsoever.

Like how would good cause eviction decrease the size of apartments???

And why on earth would it cause fewer units to be available? Turnover does not mean that new units magically become available.

Edit: I just realized that you're the landlord I was talking to earlier. I'm not interested in chatting with you more here, just trying to inform tenants that this bill is in their interest. Cheers!

Grew up there in the 50’s that 183 and 175 to the right where I lived

It's ok, depends on the store. Some stores use it to give you a sub par meal - so if the usual meal if $10,and you pay $5, expect to get half a meal for $5.

Not mentioning a solution but a deeper dive into unintended consequences.

NYC and Boston are large cities. As far as I know, there were fewer tenant protections enacted in Boston and overall, rent has not increased as quickly.

More protections seem to protect bad actors and also has a disproportionate impact on smaller owners who cant absorb the costs.

Small owners leaving the market seems to create a larger problem of consolidated ownership/ fewer players, which leads to higher rent .

If my logic is wrong please let me know. Property in NYC is expensive and renting your property carries risk. Having tenants who refuse to pay rent can easily push owners into foreclosure

Yeah they ramped all the other corners but decided not to do the roundabout for some reason. I'm just hoping we get repaved soon.

Used this last year for Bread’s Bakery

Was hoping to score a babka or some cheese straws but I got a dinner roll and a salad

Deleted the app since

That's pretty common. Basically the idea is "you can have a dog but you don't impose your dog on anyone else". My building has that too.

So advice: just follow the rule. Its not a big deal.

Well you can try to gift it, but don’t be surprised if they simply outlaw pets and then you have to move

Are there any rules/regulations/violations against using resin in commercial spaces? Our neighbors have been using a lot of resin over the past few months and it's gotten really noxious in our art studio. We've contacted the landlords and they're waiting to see if the new fan these guys installed will help... but it's pretty terrible and I'm wonder what the other options are.

booth agents are the most glaring example of the waste and inefficiency of the MTA. they have not had much responsibility for years, and have been downright useless since 2020 when they stopped accepting cash. they should have been eliminated a while ago, but of course unions and bloated bureaucracy don't allow for rational decision making

I got 5 on it

Sounds more convenient to use the service entrance than the entrance located in maine

They should have ramped it for you.
