They should change them to a greeter.

I wish the Times would pick up this story, unfortunately everyone just dismisses the Post.

The real story, that old rental needs a shit ton of renovations if it cost $700. So after 80k in renovations, you can raise rent $50 to 750$/month of rent. You can invest same 80k in a savings account at 5%, and get half of that income with no risk of a deadbeat tenant, or risk of servicing the apartment, I'm guessing the hitting costs alone cost $100/month. You could also get more $$ investing into the dozens of REITs trading in the stock market. If I was a landlord, I would only rent out those apartments as a favor to somebody I know. Remember how the tenants during covid were braggin on Reddit they were screwing over the landlords, well its payback time. One scumbag, who prolly makes over 100k working an office job, stopped paying his rent "in solidarity" with all the other neighbors who stopped paying rent cause they were laid off.

Since when is burning police cars and smashing windows peaceful, what a bunch of crock! These protests were not peaceful, and regularly turned violent. Anyone who've seen the aftermath in Union square would not think it was peaceful.

I wander how much more quiet these are!

Shit ton of people make 400k and up on one salary. Personally I know many IT and finance people, but I’m guessing other fields pay that well, thinking of doctors and lawyers.

I have no idea what's wrong with this city, anyone walking in that area, can see that parking lot is an eyesore. It has no character, and in my view little to no historical value, just a paved over piece of land. If they made it into a much needed park, that would be a much better idea over any building.

>Office buildings simply aren't built to allow plumbing access to each office, for example, so communal bathrooms will be needed. Can you also imagine the mess that a communal kitchen would create? Upkeep and cleaning costs would go up. Many landlords may likely have clauses in their mortgages that their prop

What are you talking about, I know of at least a dozen buildings that underwent conversions. They usually convert them in to large luxury condos, and quite successfully. They have less than ideal floorplans, but overall its very good.

Here is a recent example:

It's a great idea, they should've done that long time ago. Specifically where it makes sense, it maybe even a better idea to allow for a mix of office, and residential within one building, obviously with separate entrances. Apartments like that usually have bad floor plans, with windows in only one side of the apartment. Mostly works well for 2000 sqf apartments, where you want a walk-in closet the size of a bedroom, and efficient use of space is less important.

If you are close to the cutoff, they can argue that the gun might be off by a mile or two if it was not recently inspected, i’m guessing. I didn’t go myself so don’t know what the lawyer said, but hey lowered from 8 to 6 points.

I had it once downgraded by two points, ie from 32 over to 20+ over, by a lawyer, that was over 10 years ago.
Most of the time it’s either guilty or dismissed in NYC.

People on reddit don’t deserve your apology over a speeding ticket, few of them drive, and most are carelessly run red lights on their bikes/scooters or ride against traffic, jaywalk into moving traffic.

She’s got that questioning look, like wandering, I better make sure this one pays before leaving. Target needs a cat like that, they lost 200 million to store theft in NYC.

Yea, they need to start ticketing them.

Yep, consumer can’t really tell what is good or bad. Unfortunately the only way to fix that is ban sales of all ebikes that didn’t pass a certification of some sort. This will add an additional cost though
