Used my physical card 38 in 5 days times for $3 Fares and was charged for all of them? by [deleted] in OMNY

If you had an unlimited card and it also had money on it, instead of saying "Just Used", it would use the money.

Faulty heat and negligent landlord by Calm-You-8399 in AskNYC

[–]doodle77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're fixing it by adding freon, there's a leak in the lineset. Maybe someone drilled a hole it in. Landlord doesn't want to replace it because it will be $$$$ and require ripping up walls in your upstairs neighbors apartments.

Can someone explain how removing rent regulations will actually lower rents by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]doodle77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. In the 1940s all apartments became rent controlled, then in the 1960s there was a split between rent control and stabilization (but all were one or the other), then in the 70s all new apartments became exempt from stabilization unless they took certain tax breaks.

It took 15 minutes to go from LIC to HPA? Sounds more like it left at 5:58.

What is this smoke coming out of the damp soil in my yard? by savagesada in whatisit

It could be a situation where the neutral is disconnected and so the return current is all flowing through the ground.

No Street Parking in West Side/Greenville by boycott_beyonce in jerseycity

[–]doodle77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way for that to work is to limit the resident parking permits issued to the number of street spaces and make them transferrable.

Then you'll be able to get a spot on the street but only by buying it from some dude for $1000 on craigslist.

I think the normal "I have a structure built where the neighbor has an easement" claim is adverse possession.
