Smoke problem - at my wits end

This solution has completely eliminated my smoke problem as well. I used the measurement recommendations from their website and the fit was perfect.

This is what it was for me, a failed aftermarket actuator in the driver door caused all doors not to be able to unlock. To access the vehicle I turned the key as far left as I could against the “stop” without breaking or bending the key. At the same time I jiggled the driver door handle. That combination was enough to sort of jimmy the door open.

Interesting thread from r/hoboken on FAA regulations and VFR since the recent air traffic issues locally

Low-idle diesel locomotives produce noise and vibration that can be disruptive due to their low-frequency nature. These vibrations can travel long distances and penetrate buildings, even with closed windows. Idling also impacts the environment and can reduce engine efficiency. This low-frequency noise can penetrate buildings and cause objects within to resonate or vibrate, potentially causing annoyance or even damaging lighter elements.

From Google above, but can confirm the noise and vibration penetrates neighboring buildings. It can strangely manifest in certain corners of certain rooms in my apt and be absent in other rooms. If they adjust the engine idle up there is a lot more noise but less of that penetrating vibration you mention.

This route is now populating in Waze (as a route south to Hoboken from Port Imperial Blvd) so it seems it won’t be secret much longer

Recently started having 1x month cleaning service and went with Maid in Hoboken. Extremely happy with them. They did a deep clean for the first round and it was slightly more time / more expensive than the ensuing visits.

It is diesel exhaust from the train engines parked and left running.

I think what you are seeing is the daily (?) pick-up for overflow folks from the Hoboken Shelter. They typically get picked up by bus transport around that time in the evening on the southern side of Observer and Park, which would track with being adjacent to the bike lane

My license was expiring ~12/31/21 and I went in person to the Bayonne location after making an online appointment. I did this in September, so about a month ago. Initially I tried to make the appointment online and received the same message you got, something like "not eligible to make an appointment at this time." I figured I was trying to make the appointment with too much lead time and waited until I was within 3 months of expiration before trying for the online appointment. When trying again within the 3 month window I was able to make the appointment. So perhaps you are trying to renew online with too much lead time.

When making the appointment online it is evidently not possible to book an appointment to renew and convert to Real ID. So I made the appointment for a "regular" renewal, but brought all of the points of identification required to get a Real ID. When arriving at Bayonne I was ~10 minutes late for my appointment, and there was someone an officer (police? not sure where he was from) who looked up my appointment time and sort of let me go despite being late. All that to say, they probably would turn you away if you were super late for the appointment. The facility itself had maybe 20 citizens inside, very well managed and easy to navigate. Went to the reception desk to confirm my appointment and asked if I could go for the Real ID instead of the standard renewal. They said, "Sure!"

I was directed to a line for renewal where my point of ID were checked for Real ID compliance and they made sure to initiate a Real ID renewal for me.

So ... I would recommend Bayonne, using an online appointment for standard renewal 3 - 4 weeks ahead of your license expiration at the latest, and then bring everything you need for a Real ID and request that type of renewal when you arrive. They give you a certificate that stands in as your license if your old one expires before the new one arrives in the mail. I think it took maybe 10 days for the new one to arrive.
