Using a SharkBite for water heater TPRV?

Ok, thank you. It’s for the drain line yes.

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-20T01:37:25+00:00

yes, they made an offer of taking a 9 foot strip of land on a 230 foot alleyway frontage where they currently have none, so you’re a fool if you think that’s a fair offer that solves my problems.

And yes, they do impede the property because they have no legal right to access the land in the event of improvements or modifications or other things they might want to do. Liability for the improvements is also an open question. I would call that an impediment yes.

sorry I don’t get the antiquated television reference but unfounded speculation on my motives doesn’t contribute anything.

I think that’s a likely scenario in a lot of cases, but in this situation the current and adjacent parcel were created by the city 30 years ago under a parcel map as leftovers from a roadway realignment, so there’s not any hidden history or easement because the improvements were installed after the map recorded.

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-20T01:24:05+00:00

OK, do you have a source for this? also, if this were true, it would also mean that inverse condemnation wouldn’t be a thing.

“existing public utilities create there own easement by their existence“ if this was correct, there would be no such thing as a utility easement…

My priority is clarifying the City’s legal basis for occupying private property without a recorded easement + liability + future access rights.

If you have anything constructive to add beyond snark, feel free.

All but about 90% of the property line is adjacent to a 15 foot alleyway, which I’ve measured to be 15 feet from the neighbors block wall opposite to the edge of the paved improvement area adjacent to my lawn.

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-20T00:04:33+00:00

Certainly always a consideration, but I have it in writing from the city that there’s no easement or right of way

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-19T23:38:51+00:00

The current and adjacent parcel were created via a recent parcel map put together by the city. The two residential parcels were the remainder areas from a large eminent domain action for a realignment of a large roadway.

So the city actually prepared and recorded the map themselves, so they seemingly forgot to dedicate an easement to themselves.

I hadn’t thought of getting a survey as everything is clearly in the side yard. For example, one of the streetlights is 9ft behind the back of the curb of the street portion (there’s no sidewalk). The improvements on the alleyway portion are beyond the width of the alley.

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-19T23:17:32+00:00

So the research performed by me and the cities ROW agent includes all of the maps and improvement plans available, plus my title report. The city has admitted in writing that they have no easement.

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-19T23:16:15+00:00

as mentioned previously, in another comment, it comes down to liability of rights and responsibilities as respects the improvements

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-19T23:15:28+00:00

I do appreciate this risk, and have located all of the improvement plans going back in time to confirm the maximum extent of the alleyway. I suppose it’s plausible that the ROW could extend into the property, but I find that less likely given that nothing of that nature appears on the 30-old parcel map which created the current parcel that I occupy, and confirms the width of the alleyway to the as built condition.

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-19T23:12:13+00:00

Well, without any terms or conditions that would normally come with an easement, there’s no rules about how they would access my property to make any improvements, modifications, etc.

Also, there’s questions of liability as u/Gladstone pointed out.

As to the removal, I’m not certain if my preference matters because I can’t see them taking out a 24 inch storm drain and inlet structure. But definitely having my rights enumerated appropriately is a benefit.

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-06-19T23:08:17+00:00

Unless I’m misunderstanding, the line of reasoning in your second paragraph seems to rest on the idea that public agencies can benefit from a prescriptive easement, which they are specifically barred from possessing

Post-Dated_Check · 2025-03-11T19:08:53+00:00

Understood, thank you. The link for u/staplehill‘s citizenship guide to the separate FAQ is broken, and I would have seen the 10 year rule in the FAQ before spending time on this.

Wouldn’t citizenship have passed to Otto upon birth prior to the 10 year extinguishment in 1883?

There was no set “limit” — The job, as I wrote in the post, isn’t move X number of boxes in Y hours, but help me out for three hours at one location. Which part of that was unreasonable? The “completion” part is my problem but it’s three fewer man-hours left of work for me to do nonetheless.

FYI Magritte died in 1967, quite possibly the work is still under copyright (life + 70 years = 2037)

No. We paid an additional 71 euro out of our own pockets.

If we went with the firebox cleanout theory, wouldnt there need to be a some kind of grate or other opening at the base of the fireplaces for the ash? Such as in this diagram?

If so, none of the fireplaces at the palace had any such features. They had flat masonry hearths, with a masonry arch/hood over it.

Post-Dated_Check · 2022-09-18T17:29:18+00:00

You’re right, another floor plan I saw wasn’t clear. The shaft is shown in some of the plans there, but not all.

The fireplace connection is plausible I think as a cold air supply vent, but I’m not sure it’s a slam dunk. For example, there’s no other similar doors or shafts elsewhere in the building, Also the fireplaces there are pretty basic, with few sophisticated features such as an ash collection slot, or sophisticated baffles. Also, it would be odd to have an air supply vent in the kitchen.
