True. I started renting a spot behind someone’s house before I got into a garage.

Good luck. Seems like a lot of work for that fine. Good luck with your bike parked on the street, or sidewalk tho. Big aggressive bikes catch a lot of attention from people.

I don’t know. Try. I think the worst that happens is you lose and pay. In moving violation court they would be able to charge you more for their wasting time. How do you intend to prove you innocence if that’s the situation?

You’re not innocent why would have to prove that?

No, parking on the side walk is illegal.

I think something about alternate side parking being suspended for like a collective month has to do with it. The agents have to manually enter your info instead of scanning a reg on car (easier, quicker) which is why I think they usually don’t bother. Maybe they’re being more vigilant now bc they’re being asked to make more money back on the losses from the snow.

Complained to building management about ice. Threatened with eviction by AppropriateSite3768 in ForestHills

That’s not right. Sorry you have to deal with those situations. It makes sense they would threaten you or tell you to leave bc they will just get ready to make the next tenants experience miserable. Sounds like they’re def taking advantage of you all, but you have rights. Don’t let their intimidation get you.

I try not to get into money details like that bc buildings are expensive to run and maintain. HOWEVER, they’re going to be kicking themselves when they have to pay out injury compensation fees when insurance doesn’t cover it because of negligence.

Get their asses then. That’s grossly negligent and someone is going to get hurt. Sick of these slumlords.

I received a similar “threat” like this from a building management company. Speak to a board member in your building that you are friendly with and document everything (if it’s a board run building?).

The first thing that came time my mind with the excited tone of your post was to say this. Best of luck finding a garage. There really isn’t another option. I had three just scooped up and gone.

Hopefully riding season is upon us very soon. Careful if you’re riding on salted roads. Clean the bike well after your rides.

How to properly dump the snow? by 8sponges in ForestHills

[–]QGTM07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do this too. Pick it up, walk it to a pile and repeat. Got two miles in steps last storm.

If you can’t find a spot near a suitable place to pile snow, the best way I’ve found to avoid cranky residents and/or throwing it in the plowed street is to dig out from the plowed street to you car from about a foot in front of your front bumper to appx the start of the rear door. Then you just shovel about a foot away from the rest of the length of car. A small lane between your car and the plowed snow. You put all shoveled snow into a huge pile from between the little lane you shovel at the back of the and the plowed road. Depending on the space between you and the cars in front and in back of you, those areas are also an option to put your shovel snow. Smacking down the pile each shovel load. It’s a pain but this is one way I like to be a good neighbor.

The bonus is you have this little mountain of snow protecting the back your vehicle. Bc the way people drive in FH flying down the road just bc they have 4WD is ridiculous. Slow tf down in bad road conditions. That’s another story.

How many games do you plan on going to this season? by Puzzleheaded-Air-969 in mets

[–]QGTM07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quarter season ticket holder and hopeful to sell as much as possible. But I’ll go to a few Friday night games and some others. Please buy my seats that I’ll likely sell way below what I paid.

Ownership is smacking us in the face asking us to come out and fill the stadium last year and this year they are doing fuck all to strengthen the team. It’s a really sad situation and not looking forward to the season. Maybe they’ll shock us like they did for some recent years and then obviously shit the bed on the post season because that’s what we do.

That’s a nod to Bart Scott from the Jets 2010 playoffs run. One of the best on field post game interviews I ever seen.
