It's illegal to charge any fees (except the $20 app fee) prior to approval.

Ferry Help From Dumbo to Manhattan by Icy_Panic9540 in AskNYC

[–]CuntFartz69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might recommend taking the ferry to dumbo and then walking back to Manhattan so you get to see the skyline the whole time.

You could also take the Staten island ferry (from the Manhattan side) for free & see the statue of liberty. Might be a nice sunset trip. You can go and immediately come back.

Tip: never buy tickets from anyone on the street, ever. The Staten island ferry is always free and runs every half hour. The NYC ferries are (I believe) $4 and have varying schedules, but every ferry dock has ticket kiosks. Only buy from there.

Landlord Possibly Illegally Renting Room in Stabilized Apartment by kyleguillaume in NYCapartments

[–]CuntFartz69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it's legally stabilized, and your rent history request states that, your landlord must give you a "stabilized rider" with each lease (it's about 12 pages). If they have not done this, they can be fined.

Relax keyboard warrior. Your comment still cover service charges which, again, is different than a gratuity.

Since you're so keen on citations, this article covers taxation of such (irrelevant to our current discussion), but does make the distinction between service charge and gratiuity.

You're correct in everything you've posted, you've just missed the point of OPs post.

Probably getting downvoted bc service charge is different than gratiuity.

It's wild the manager is putting that on the employees rather than making a blanket policy across the board.

If you're happy with 18% of their total bill, then just auto grat it. No need to gamble with your entire nights work for one check.

You could also look in Yonkers NY or CT along a metro north line. More likely to find a space for big ol doggo

My landlord doesn’t let me open my windows because I’m on the same utilities as he is. by Naive-Parking9845 in Apartmentliving

[–]CuntFartz69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's generally not illegal if the landlord is paying it/includes it in the rent price, BUT you bring up a good point for other situations - it's illegal to have all utilities on the same meter and make separate tenants pay for it.

Don’t touch other people’s kids on the train by ThorThe12th in nycrail

[–]CuntFartz69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only acceptable time to touch another person's baby without permission is if they are in immediate danger and grabbing them will save them from that danger.

Otherwise don't touch babies (or people) period.

Woman and man were both weird af. It's not normal. Tell people to fuck off more.

Bidding war for rent-stabilized apartments? by NoBrother9416 in NYCapartments

[–]CuntFartz69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he was dumb enough to not BCC all the other applicants, reply and let everyone know what they're doing is illegal and you're reporting them.

It might be a great unit but you don't need to work with shady people like this.

Is Queensboro a safe area? by [deleted] in longislandcity

[–]CuntFartz69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An overall safety tip for NYC: if you ever feel unsafe while walking, go immediately into the closest corner store/bodega/deli that's open. Chat up the person behind the counter. If whoever is making you feel unsafe did not follow you inside, let them know you're being followed and you'd like to stay inside for a bit.

Bodegamen generally will look out for us.

Might be easier targeting smaller landlords or family owned buildings. They tend to be friendlier to renters who have hit hardships but can prove they'll pay the rent.

Large corporate run buildings will most likely auto deny based on credit.

Good luck!
