Looks cool! Much better than the official PATH app.

Idiot drivers are the only dangerous element in DTJC.
Edit: Oh, and the dregs who man the 911 dispatch.

Let's not give JC too much (or any) credit here: The zoning laws are plenty restrictive (hence, the Bayonne Box phenomenon).

" A year ago, I probably would have felt obligated to stop and check if the kid was OK, but we have a new precedent now. Due to Councilwoman DeGise and all the other hit-and-run drivers since then, I had the confidence to just keep driving and go on with my day as if nothing happened. "

Can Fulop actually do anything to remediate? Does he have the power to remove members of the Council?

Yep. It's total horseshit. I'd stay far away from this listing.

The mgt company doesn't do the actual maintenance--if they can be bothered, they make a call to one of their vendors (who invariably gives them a cut), and the tenant is then on their own. They'll likely be paying full freight for that minor (i.e., $400) plumbing repair.

Former landlord here. This is NOT typical. You are NOT responsible for maintenance--that is the landlord's responsibility (obviously, if you break something, you are responsible for repair costs--but not routine maintenance, and certainly not appliances (again, unless you did something to cause the issue).
They are using the Mgt Company as a buffer because they don't want have direct interaction with their tenants. Fine. But this will cause massive headaches for your friend (when it comes to maintenance requests or reporting problems with the unit).
I'd look elsewhere.

I had an original 2600--thing lasted almost 30 years! And the damndest thing? The controllers--despite taking ungodly abuse for decades--still worked at the very end (the rubber sleeves eventually popped off, but the joystick itself still worked fine).

I like it, actually! (Can't say the same for the cookie-cutter, low-quality, shoebox apartments inside--though the lobby is quite nice)

Given your age and the need to be near the NJ Transit station, I'd say Hoboken is the easy pick. And JC is a 10-min Uber.

Glad you asked! It sounded just like a micro-penis turtling in response to the woman behind the counter at AutoZone.

Something to keep in mind: If you're doing a gut reno, your inspection needs are a bit different than someone buying a place with minor issues or or in need of cosmetic upgrades. you might want to go with an engineer or even an architect. Most inspectors have a checklist of the basics, but you may need a deeper dive into structural issues.

Reply to How hard is it to find street parking in the Heights? by whale
You may need to circle the block a few times, and/or park a block or two from your apt. It can be a challenge. In my experience, it's a little easier West of Summit Ave.
