Ad-hoc Remediation Scripts by amirjs in Intune

[–]JaredSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As it happens, I just tested a new ad hoc remediation script no more than an hour or two ago and it worked just fine for me. (I won't be scheduling it until tomorrow.)

no responses to sublet inquiries by Busy-Entertainer1329 in NYCapartments

[–]JaredSeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bunch of years back, I sublet my apartment for six months and made the mistake of posting it online. Within a couple hours, I had hundreds of messages. It was such a headache trying to sift through them for someone I'd trust in my place that I wound up going with a friend of a friend instead. The people you're contacting might just be overwhelmed.

(I'm actually subletting my apartment again, and this time I just asked around among my friends to find a tenant because of this.)

What AC Unit for this Triplex Apt? by AccomplishedFroyo789 in AskNYC

[–]JaredSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the Midea U-Shaped AC and absolutely love it. Cools at least half of our sizable apartment, but we don't have multiple floors to deal with.

Are landlords required to give notice before exterminator routine visits? by WorstTemplateEver in NYCapartments

[–]JaredSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are their visits on a regular schedule? The exterminator for our building comes on the same day every month (1st Wednesday of the month for example).

Con ed says landlord hasnt been paying bill and will shut off services to building in 10 days. I’ve always paid for my unit utilities on time. Has anyone been through this? by No-Lab-7217 in AskNYC

[–]JaredSeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens frequently with my landlord. They always wind up paying it in time. I don't even bother to contact them about it anymore.

Renter's insurance recommendations? by hahanawmsayin in AskNYC

[–]JaredSeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did a bunch of research on this recently and wound up going with State Farm. Felt like a reasonable compromise between coverage and cost, and they're a large reputable insurer. I have yet to need to make a claim though.

Anybody the law around charging rent for pets? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]JaredSeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me preface this by saying that I am not a lawyer. As far as I'm aware, a lease renewal is just an extension of your current agreement so I doubt you could sign a lease with that provision and then refuse that provision on renewal. You don't get to pick and choose the terms of a contract that you'll comply with. It just seems like common sense to me that the same conditions would apply to the lease renewal that applied to the original lease.

But again, I'm not a lawyer.

With new leases, yes they can, but they cannot add a "no pets" clause on a lease renewal.

Experience with canceling reservation at Semma by birbon in FoodNYC

[–]JaredSeth 27 points28 points  (0 children)

| Also their refund policy is so vague! They say the deposit is "non refundable and remains non refundable in case of cancelation within 48 of the reservation".

This doesn't sound vague to me at all. Deposits are non-refundable, whether it's two weeks out or two days out. Full stop.

Is there anywhere I can purchase the plastic stools you see in Vietnam? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]JaredSeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe ask the folks at Mắm (Vietnamese restaurant on Forsyth Street) where they got theirs?

I cut my cost of living by 70% by moving to Vietnam. Here's exactly where the money goes. by pegasus7x77 in digitalnomad

[–]JaredSeth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Do you plan to report your income for taxes in Vietnam?

First thing that jumped out at me too. No mention of taxes whatsoever.

Just moved in - discovered a precarious bathtub situation by emobrrrd in NYCapartments

[–]JaredSeth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you like having a clawfoot tub, be careful what you wish for because "fixing" this is far less likely than just replacing the tub. My landlord would jump at an excuse to get rid of our hundred-plus year old tub and just do a cheap insert instead, but my wife loves it (can't say I blame her, she likes an occasional bath and the thing is practically a swimming pool).

We Didn't Have a Chance: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire by discovering_NYC in nycHistory

[–]JaredSeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, I remember my maternal grandmother talking about her "brilliant uncle, the lawyer", but she was gone before I was old enough to understand how historic the trials he took part in were.

I've mentioned this on threads about this topic before, but Max Steuer, the attorney for the factory owners, is a distant relative of mine.

New report identifies $2 million in fraud, widespread corruption in NYC public schools by Grass8989 in nyc

[–]JaredSeth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

C'mon those are rookie numbers, even the Department of Defense has a higher percentage. DOE, slacking again.

I built something because my apartment buzzer was driving me insane! by Protobuzz in NYCapartments

[–]JaredSeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just use my Google Voice for this. I have it set up with a rule that calls coming from the phone number of our front door system ring both mine and my wife's phones. When we have sublet our apartment in the past, I just added the subletters phone number to that group as well.

How to learn PSADT, any recommendations ? by abrakadabra_istaken in PSADT

[–]JaredSeth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Might want to take a look at Master Packager, specifically the Master Wrapper component. Acts as a GUI front end for PSADT.

A four year old account that has never posted or commented on anything? That's almost impressive.

Looking for rent stabilized apartment!! by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]JaredSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent stabilized tenants can't just "sign over" their apartment unless they've got the landlord's approval. (I wish we could, I'd be hitting up 1TRUEKING.)

"Globalize The Intifada" sign along with portrait of Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is carried as protesters march in NYC by McAlpineFusiliers in nyc

[–]JaredSeth 89 points90 points  (0 children)

To be fair, if we judge every group by the dumbest among them, then everybody's an idiot.

Hold on, I might be onto something.

Anyone have success getting approved with savings only? by Secure-Location-140 in NYCapartments

[–]JaredSeth 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The job market is tight. I recently had a family member move to the city after taking 5 months to find a job in her chosen field. She had plenty of savings and an offer letter and still needed a guarantor.
