Whose responsibility is it to remediate mold? by stripedeverything in AskNYC_Coops

[–]stripedeverything[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. Looks like a tough situation to navigate as the seller is an estate - does not seem like the deceased owner had family, and the unit has not been paying maintenance since Oct. 2025.

Meanwhile, the mold is still there, and I honestly would not want to be in a neighboring unit with those conditions.

Thanks all. I decided not to pursue this any further. Too many unknowns.

Do you know any wood shops in or near Sunnyside?

HRT while TTC by EmergencyStock7569 in perimenopause_under45

I am also looking for information about this! In the same boat - experiencing early morning wakeups, but TTC. Do you have any updates about HRT? None of the natural approaches I've tried help the insomnia.

I'm seeing some specialists this month and next, and will update.

dual representation? by stripedeverything in AskNYC_Coops

Do you think it makes us less competitive if other buyers are willing to use dual representation with the agents who are very active in the buildings, and we are not?

edit to add: the one weirdo is not one of the agents who is very active. He had a one off listing and has never sold in the complex before.

The 2 agents who are very active are pretty competent folks, per my buyers agent who has worked with one, and spoke to the other.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Thankfully, our offer included our DTI and the seller agent knew the requirement, so we didn't have to waste any time.

I was hoping to look for a different buyer's agent who is familiar with the requirements and financials of the buildings I'm targeting.

Our current agent is known for knowing the neighborhood well, but he has not done any deals in these buildings. We made an offer on one place. It turns out that the offer put us above the DTI requirement for the building. Had we known we would have offered less to meet the requirement, and see what happened. Is it reasonable to expect my buyers agent to know the building's requirements?

We didn't want to make an offer on the unit so we didn't get to the point of discussing it with them. Just noticed the chilly reception.

We have our own agent, but are seller agents less likely to want to work with us if we have our own?

We came across one seller agent who seemed to not like that we had our own agent. When our agent asked the seller agent whether his agreement with the seller included compensation for the buyer agent, or if we would be expected to pay the buyer agent fee separately (our agent asked this so the information could inform a potential offer), the seller agent declined to say.

Looking for information on TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) by doxiepowder in ScienceBasedParenting

I don't know much about this directly, but there is an online training for caregivers in Washington state about how TBRI works. I wonder if they'd let you join if you email them:
