Well played (or should I say well plaid?)

Back in 2018 they bought a portfolio of about 53 buildings from another landlord, so they've got a bunch. The article mentions 655 West 160th Street and I know they're also facing foreclosure on their buildings at 4300 Broadway and 121 West 116th Street.

"Sugar Hill Capital bought buildings throughout northern Manhattan just months before tenant protection laws limited its ability to raise rents and deregulate stabilized apartments."

My landlord made the 100 worst landlords list this year and operates a lot like the Sugar Hill Capital Partners that's mentioned in the article but they've also bought 3 more buildings in my immediate neighborhood in the Heights since the law changed. That makes it difficult to believe they can't profit from these buildings, just not as much as they'd hoped I presume.

Walmart announced last month that they were also going to close a bunch of other stores across various parts of the country, including stores in Florida, Illinois, Arkansas, and Wisconsin. This is a problem everywhere unfortunately.

Edit: Just part of the "retail apocalypse". Best Buy announced that they're closing stores too, and they don't cite shoplifting as a factor.

It's a city of almost 9 million people. Of course crimes happen. The point of the article is that they're happening less often than last year.

Oh, I'm well aware. If r/nyc was anything like representative of the city at large, I'd probably be commenting on the latest post about Mayor Sliwa.

A single tragic anecdote trumps measurable data. You win.

/s for the sarcasm-impaired.

>Mayor Krotch

Whether or not this was intentional, bravo.

Yeah, my company does a lot of both (not "outsourcing" per se because these are employees, but certainly offshoring\near-shoring).

Oh, I was responding more to the general idea that remote workers should be compensated the same as in-person, not so much for city agencies.

Remote workers will naturally be paid less though because they're competing with every other remote worker. When an employer can hire a full time developer in India for ₹700,000 a year, why would they pay someone in the States in $USD? If on the other hand what they really want is someone who'll come in to the office, they'll have to pay in accordance with the local cost of living to retain talent.

Soap operas for guys who think they're too manly for soap operas.

>wet suits are thicker, bigger, and I think a little warmer

I think they probably dive dry suits here.

I don't dive cold water (tropical waters only for me) but I've got friends who dive for megalodon teeth here in the north.

>the only way the Marxist Socialist Media will hold a candidate's feet to the fire

...he says, commenting on a story about a Republican candidate whose feet weren't held to the fire.

Fark.com wants their joke back. ツ

"It will also include a $35,000 cap on the amount of outside income lawmakers can earn, though that won’t take effect until 2025."

They've tried limiting outside income before and the courts ruled they were overstepping their bounds. What's to say that doesn't happen again?

This is how TSA Pre-Check, Global Entry and Clear work already.

Leaving out valuable context that was in your other post: you can't rent the bike yourself due to unpaid parking tickets and intend to use the bike working for delivery services. Oh and your post history is just one continuous red-flag of conspiracy theories and Covid denial. Someone would have to be pretty foolish to commit fraud for you, but hey...there's a sucker born every minute. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Peculiar that they don't seem to operate in Michigan or California under either of the names they filed suit with in New York and Sacramento. How the hell couldn't they get approved to run a dispensary in Michigan? I thought they gave those licenses away to anybody.

> Amazing how much development happened since this was captured.

In just 6 years. The satellite image is from 2016. You can see it among the photos on this page.

I suppose the requirements on our street might have changed. It's unfortunate because the stretch of the block directly in front of our building is left as the only one without trees now.

I submitted a request a couple months back because a few years ago our landlord illegally filled in the tree pits in front of our building after the saplings there got damaged. Just received an update recently that said the Parks Department "determined that the requested location cannot receive a new tree because of conflicts with the surrounding infrastructure".

Sure thing (and see my edit above). It's definitely worth pursuing. Worst comes to worst, your rent remains the same, but you could be overpaying. A few of my neighbors have managed to claw their apartments back into rent stabilization, but it can be an uphill battle.

Good luck.

Ah ok, well in that case:

"In NYC, when a tenant moves out of a rent controlled apartment, the apartment becomes decontrolled. If that apartment is in a building built before January 1, 1974, containing six or more units at any time, it becomes rent stabilized."

From HCR Fact Sheet #6

Edit: and just to be clear, the "Rent Control" status of the apartment would end when that tenant moved out. This just addresses whether or not the new lease you signed is under "Rent Stabilization". There's a whole section of that document I linked that talks about how the fair market rent of the formerly rent controlled apartment is determined.
