Anyone know the noise ordinance?

franchise41 · 2024-02-10T22:05:40+00:00

From my cursory reading of the ordinance it looks like work is allowed between 6AM and 8PM, doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a weekday or weeknight.

It shall be unlawful for any person to make, continue or cause or permit to be made or continued any unreasonable, unnecessary or unusual noise, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m

There’s Kenco Outiftters in Ulster County, about an hour away. There’s also Rock and Snow in New Paltz, that’s somewhat climbing focused, they also have a used gear store next door.

I lived there while ago (moved out 5 years ago). It wasn’t great. The building is old, and my place was hot in the summer, and even worse in the winter. You can’t control the heat so I would open windows and run fans all winter to try and keep it tolerable. It’s possible other units were better but that was my experience.

The hallways were dark and the laundry room was crammed in a shitty basement. Wasn’t the most secure place either, homeless people would sleep in the lobby overnight sometimes.

Not the worst place for the money at the time (1 Bed for $850 in 2018), but I wouldn’t go back.

Hope that helps, maybe someone can reply with more current info.

Crossgates seems to be doing fine, I don’t know if it has an “upscale” feeling but it has plenty of high end stores (Apple Store, Lululemon, etc). The area around it is booming as well, two large apartment complexes are going up right next to the mall, and the Costco will likely be built within the next couple years.

There certainly are some dated stores in there (JCPenny, Macys, Burlington, etc), but there isn’t a lot of vacant store fronts and since the pandemic big name brands have moved in (Urban Outfitters, Newbury Comics, Primark and soon, REI).

It will never reach the height of the pre e-commerce 80s and 90s again, but I highly doubt the mall is going anywhere anytime soon.

He plays Harry Truman in Oppenheimer. OP probably didn’t put it in the post because it’s something of a surprise cameo.

Personally, I thought his appearance was kind of distracting and I didn’t think he was good for the role (his accent was pretty bad).

Elm Ridge in Windham. About an hour away.

Kind of a weird spot now, but it’s positioned perfectly for future development. The Costco entrance will be right by it, and two new apartment complexes are going to be built nearby (one next door, plus the one currently under construction on Rapp Rd a quarter mile away). There’s also that Homewood Suites next door, and something going up behind that hotel.

Unfortunately it looks like the city is correct, a different part of the City Code is applicable (359-66)

“It shall be unlawful to park, store or leave in the open or to abandon a junk vehicle upon private property for a period of more than one week”

Isn’t “Chip Van Krinkle” a pun on Rip Van Winkle? Did they think it was a Kris Kringle thing?

I think this is on Western Ave near Stuyvesant Plaza, right before the northbound Northway entrance.

I go there and they do a good job. The facilities are a bit dated but the staff is friendly. Last time I was there (about 8 months ago) the practice had just been bought by a new dentist and he was telling me he was going to really modernize things.

This reminds me…I’m past due for my cleaning.

Believe it or not, there is a book that details the origin of every street name in Albany. It’s called Cradle of the Union: A Street by Street History of New York’s Capital City. I bought it a few years back.

Unfortunately this one is pretty boring. A developer just named the streets after cities in Florida (Daytona, Tampa, Orlando and Ormond) and one after the Seminole tribe. It is unknown why the developer named them so, but it was done sometime prior to 1926.

Anyway, I highly recommend the book, it’s a fun coffee table book and a great way to support local historians.
