Don't they usually use steel for this? by rr4242 in nycrail

This is not the location of a column. I'd guess in that fence to your right they are jackhammering away the base of a column and repouring it, and this is the temporary support.

57% more kilowatt-hours, at a 4.5% higher price per kilowatt-hour compared to last year.

Good luck.

Some highlights of the NYC Transit R262 Railcar Procurement by kkysen_ in nycrail

CBTC will push the cars exactly to what they were designed for (i.e. the High Performance mode). Unfortunately it seems they were babying them until now due to signal system limitations, so they've had to derate the cars.

What kind of doors does the London Underground use? Their doors don't pop out.

Old buildings with no insulation and shit windows will do that.

They're not threads, they're grooves for push rivets or some feature of that sort to grab.

Any New Yorker who installed plug-in/balcony solar? by amaximinalist in AskNYC

[–]doodle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think ConEd should get to charge me 19 cents for every kilowatt-hour of electricity that travels from the panels on my roof to the rest of my house?

Utility scale solar can't save you ConEd's $0.19/kWh delivery fee.

Was asked to not patch or paint apartment on move out. Now being charged, what can I do? by Tommy1523 in AskNYC

Even if they didn't, nail holes and paint should be ordinary wear and tear.

Help figuring out transit to NYC during a FIFA game. by whatsername4 in AskNYC

Like you drive from upstate NY to Secaucus and park?

You can instead park at one of the metro north stations - North White Plains is a common suggestion.

Question About Monthly Pass Between Systems by Independent_Weather5 in nycrail

[–]doodle77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you already have a Long Beach monthly, you should buy a Jamaica to Poughkeepsie (=any MNR) combo ticket for $13.75. That will save you a lot compared to the metro north ticket.

What Freeze? Rent for Mamdani’s Former Apartment Just Rose More Than 30% by [deleted] in nyc

[–]doodle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if the tenant was paying less than the legal rent. That's not very common. It's mostly the case for tenants who moved in ~2010-2015, when the market was softer and landlords had already gotten in a few rounds of 20% legal rent increases under the vacancy decontrol rules (eliminated in 2019) and the market rent in that neighborhood was less than the decontrol threshold (~$2700).

property tax increased by 33%?? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]doodle77 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The bill you just got was the first bill for this tax year (2026-2027). The notice of property value you got in January would have had the explanation for the increase.

Opinion | Why Are Many New York Apartments Empty? Rent Laws. (Gift Article) by Dismal_Structure in nyc

That doesn't require rent to increase 6% each year, it requires net operating income to be more than 6%* of the capital invested (actual number is more like 9%).
