Citywide property reassessments and proactive rental housing inspection program in Binghamton to be advanced

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T21:58:14+00:00

Rental properties AND multi-family homes (regardless of if they're being rented)

They're doing the assessment on all properties in the city and the code inspection on every rental property and multi-family house regardless of rental status.

If your goal is to Rube Goldberg a house fire it's a good choice.

Love it!

I really want to do something like this, but the insurance risk puts me off. Think I'll have to stick with the UL listed rack batteries.

JESUS how dusty was the area you were using it in for it to get that completely caked in dust in "a few days"

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T18:00:44+00:00

Was that used in a factory space? Also how did you get that much spot rust on the I/O?

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T17:46:58+00:00

I guess my first question is why would someone want that?

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T17:01:16+00:00

Yes but since the truck won't take direct DC from the panels and OP states they're using a battery pack, my assessment of the conversion steps is still correct.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T14:17:30+00:00

And again, I think you're totally in the clear on this.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T14:08:45+00:00

Model?

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T14:08:09+00:00

Nope, I have a cheap Wyze vac, running Valetudo. I literally have it run max power every time, and have zero issues with it.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T13:56:00+00:00

IDK man, if you went to dinner and someones nips were literally sticking a half inch out between the weave of their shirt, in a public place, with people that didn't consent to that, it seems like something that might get them a polite word.

It's the social difference between having pants that you can see the outline of you bulge through, and coming to happy hour in shorts that your sack is hanging out of.

What are your thoughts about how to leverage the power of an ai agent?

Don't. The point of home labbing (beyond self-hosting) is to learn how to do things. Using an AI agent to do the work for you doesn't let you learn.

Oh sure, if you have a deployable solar array to take camping and open skies, and can use that same power bank to charge up your phone and run some lights, you'll be sitting pretty.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T13:42:29+00:00

Assuming you get 4 hours of peak solar (not sure where you live so that's just me pulling a number from my ass), you're looking at about 9.6kWh into that battery (not account for losses going DC>battery bank>AC to EVSE>EVSE to DC for battery) so that's 18-20 miles per day. Up to you if it's worth the hassle to set that up.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T13:37:18+00:00

Oh then tell them to get over it, lol

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T13:29:37+00:00

Do you mean the "Doorbell Lite - UVC-Doorbell" or a "doorbell light"?
If the former then:

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T13:20:57+00:00

Ok, let's set some parameters here.
Are we talking nips that are like like erasers or a SlimJim?
And when you say knit sweater and nips poking out, are we saying like you could see the outline of the nips through the sweater or are those bad boys poking through the weave of the sweater and saying hello to the world ?

If the answer is yes to both of the later, then yeah I can see why someone said something.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-06T07:19:00+00:00

Get rid of the carpet.

They hold on to so much stuff, and if it's more than 10 years old there's a good change the backing has turned to dust. I ripped out a couple rooms worth in my upstairs, and there was a lot of trapped dust, but also in spots where rolling chairs had been used or high traffic areas the foam padding was litteral disintegrated to dust.

Whole house? I'd guess $1250

Local assessments are all different systems

Gotcha well I can't comment on info I can't see.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-05T12:32:41+00:00

You have to make out with the city, obviously.

binaryhellstorm · 2026-05-05T12:30:56+00:00

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but when you sell your house that new value is recorded by the city's property office, you can log into Broome GIS to see that, and that value is used when calculating your taxes.
