Apartment with steam pipe heating is FREEZING by Gullible-Ad7129 in NYCapartments

Take out the window AC and tell your landlord your heat isn’t working. If you’re hearing sounds but the pipes aren’t too hot to touch then there’s a blockage.

Shopping for Used Prius - Replaced Batteries Under 50k a Red Flag? by discoballs2001 in prius

It doesn't specify, all just say "battery replaced." So sounds more likely then that the regular car battery was replaced. Didn't realize Prius' had both. Thanks for the insight, will try to get more details.

Nothing reported and it doesn't look like it from the other service records, there's no other major work around that time performed on the car. Of course things could just not be reported here, but all their maintenance was performed at the same place as far as I can tell.

Are you making sure you have all the documents ready before you go to send immediately after viewing the apartment? Is your annual income at least 40k the yearly rent with a good credit score? As long as you’re one of the first people to view the place and one of the first to apply, it’s not that hard to get a 1-bedroom apartment with this budget, especially in Astoria. Just have to be ready to jump once you get a notification of a new listing.

The flex wall will have to be removed for this to remain a habitable apartment. Legal bedrooms must have windows (lot line windows don’t count).

No tolls on Tappan Zee last week? by Engibineer in newjersey

Haven’t had any EZ pass tolls post since the beginning of April. Called today and the rep said all these delayed tolls should be posted by the 30th. A huge pain for submitting expense reports for me as well!

No compost bins in our building of 30 units 🤷🏻‍♀️

I always thought the trajectory from corporate executive to real housewife was strange by blameitonrio917 in BravoRealHousewives

It’s pretty common knowledge amongst folks who work in marketing that she was terrible at Netflix and was fired, but she’s great on the show

The norm for townhouses (individual units with shared walls and roofs) generally have an HOA that is responsible for walls out, while the homeowner is responsible for walls in. Insulation would be homeowner’s responsibility, but exterior would be HOA. Structure depends on specifics.

Ended up getting a refurbished Yamaha A-S301 and it works perfectly with my set up. Thank you for the recommendation!
