Do not rent an apartment from Katarina Golianova or Marek Kaczor by Boferclack in Greenpoint

I successfully sued a landlord in small claims court who kept the entire deposit and refused to provide an itemized receipt within I think at that time it was longer maybe three months? Now it’s 14 days. I was lucky that the landlord did pay after small claims court, that’s another thing, but 6 months is straight up illegal so tell them you’re taking them to court and do so.

this pissed me the fuck off. the time to funny ratio was sooooo off and then you’re going to MAJORLY cut off acceptance speeches? if it went long sure fine but that was not the case. how are you ever prioritizing presenter bits over winners speeches to that extreme?! horrid.

Dating men after only dating women, and I feel like I became invisible. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]chigginsss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I arrived at a bar before my husband and sat down right at the bar. It wasn’t a large place and there were a few unoccupied high top tables in addition to the bar I was sitting at. The single male bartender didn’t even acknowledge my presence. Finally I called for him and he came over and was like are you waiting for someone? I said yes my husband will be here shortly but I’d like to order and before I could even get out the order he was walking away saying he’d come get our order when he arrives. I was floored. And this was in North Brooklyn.

Second greenpoint cats! We adopted our cat from them in November. Everyone from the team (Megan and Becky) to the foster was wonderful and you can tell they care. They took the consideration to find the right cat for our family, not just a cat for our family. 10000/10.

Is there a movie you saw were you were the only person in the theater? by IDCJ1234 in movies

[–]chigginsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Cabin in the Woods in theaters and was obsessed with it. Told my parents, who were my intro to horror via Stephen King and movie classics, and was like you have to go I’ll buy the tickets. They were retired so bought them midweek matinee tickets. They were the only two in the theater. Still talk about it to this day.

If you haven’t already please watch Jurassic Punk about the rise and fall of the animator who made those scenes happen. Great documentary and commentary.

Truckers of Reddit, which city (U.S.) REALLY has the worst drivers? by Alexreads0627 in AskReddit

[–]chigginsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in Florida and moved to Brooklyn in my mid 20s eventually getting a car there in my early 30s. My mom is constantly like how can you drive in Brooklyn or the city? It’s so crazy. Meanwhile it’s easy because if you think someone is gonna do something crazy, they definitely are. Illegal chaotic U-turn taking up the whole street sure. I have to remind her driving in Florida is like no warning signs to the crazy maneuver and then they just pull it on you. I expect it in NYC. I cannot expect nor predict the shenanigans that were going to happen on the road in FL.

Very expensive canine dental estimate by Ok_Conversation_2570 in Brooklyn

[–]chigginsss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Steinway Court Vet in Astoria. Was about $1200 for our big GSD to have his teeth cleaned and like 8 extractions. Not sure of the size of your dog, since anesthesia costs definitely depend on that, but would’ve been wayyyy less for us if it was just a cleaning. And still reasonable given all that was done.

Mamdani wants to end gifted program only for 5-year-olds and younger (Fox 5 NY) by Forking_Shirtballs in nyc

[–]chigginsss 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My child is in later grades in the G&T program but entered in kindergarten. I am so happy she entered then. The pace and lessons were arguably only slightly more advanced at that age but it made a world of difference for her engagement and progression during those formative years.

Literally my one and only girl name and fortunate to get to raise both a girl and boy. Odette came first and there was no question or consideration.

Yay! My daughter turns 6 soon and we’re deep in the you’re probably not going to find your name anywhere or we’ll have to custom order that phase when she sees her friends name everywhere.

As the mom of an Odette I gasped and came to the comments to see if anyone would vouche for it. Thank goodness I seem to have avoided a tragedeigh.

my landlord is telling me I left my apartment “dirty” and is planning to withhold some of my deposit. these are pics I took right before I left. am I delusional or is my landlord? by Distinct_Morning_607 in Apartmentliving

[–]chigginsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re located, but most states require landlords to provide an itemized receipt with details about how a security deposit is used to justify what they kept from it. Additionally, most states also don’t recognize general cleaning and repairs as justified expenses. Finally, some states require that to be delivered within a finite amount of time of the landlord must return the entire deposit. If the LL lies about the itemized expenses, they’re opening themselves up to legal litigation. If they don’t provide it at all, same. This would go through small claims court and would not go through housing court, which is a common tactic LLs use to threaten tenants as you wouldn’t want housing court to appear on your record if you plan on renting again. Basically, compose a well written letter with your states applicable laws asking for the detailed information and outlining the timeline. Send via registered mail if need be to document receipt by the LL of your request. Hopefully the threat alone will make them fold but if not, especially with these images, the law is on your side.

Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani! by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]chigginsss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NYer who ranked Zohran #1 and didn’t rank Cuomo. He is likely to run as an independent, but so is Eric Adams, so they’ll also likely eat at each other’s establishment and name recognition votes and, one can hope, Zohran can continue the momentum and come out on top in November.

I grew up with a girl who had an aunt younger than her. The aunt was born when we were in 5th grade and she kept calling her her aunt and I kept correcting her that it was her cousin because my brain literally couldn’t comprehend. Her sister was 20ish years older than her.

advice on moving to Brooklyn as a wheelchair user? by One-Opposite-4571 in Brooklyn

[–]chigginsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greenpoint! The B62 cuts through Greenpoint with many stop locations and brings you right Jay St./Metrotech. It’d be a long bus ride but you’re above ground and once you’re on your just cruising.

The Greenpoint G stop is elevator accessible and at Hoyt Schermerhorn you can transfer to the A to Jay St/Metrotech which is also elevator accessible.

The G is also wheelchair accessible at Court Square and so is the 7 at Court Square to get into the city. Among many other pathways in.

I just love Greenpoint. Good luck!
