I was about to investigate this court ruling in New York City regarding the issue of smoking in an apartment building. ‘Chain-smoking’ NYC tenant can keep puffing in apartment: judge

Disappointing. Here is an interesting article on New York City graffiti back in the day. At least there was some talent too. Dicing with death: the original New York graffiti artists – in pictures

I agree with you , the question primarily being WHEN to pay . Even if they still have their jobs and can afford to pay without issue, they want to take advantage of an almost 4 month interest free loan which is subsidized by the landlord. They have more incentive not to pay because they don't...

Good question. I'm looking into some of the issues when I have time, including all the #cancelrent bills being floated with wild popular support, which is not surprising. There is a lack of clarity coming from our politicians and news media as to what any of these bills mean and what are...

As a result of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Executive Order in response to coronavirus are a number of renters representing that they are entitled to not paying rent until August 20th without penalty and without any remedy to the landlord whatsoever. There has been confusion generated...

Long time upper west side resident here and still work there, technically Morningside. Here is what I can't understand at all - why didn't you just send the $200 to ensure that the landlord was mathematically fully compensated for the last month's rent? It doesn't matter your origin to...

I was disappointed to receive an email from the New York State Bar Association to find out that they want to charge for a webinar on Coronavirus / COVID-19 - Coping with Coronavirus | A Global Immigration Law Update (Webinar) I certainly can appreciate costs involved and the fact that it...

Interesting and thanks for sharing. There are some practical problems with doing the same in many buildings, including our own. If you shut down the laundry room then people will do exactly what for laundry? Find laundromats that are still open which will arguably make things worse? That also...

Issue: Coronavirus policies implemented by co-operative associations, condominium boards and home owners associations. COVID-19 has brought about a strange time with a great deal of panic decisions and lack of clarity from government officials and health and welfare agencies. I haven't seen any...

Agreed and whether the manufacturer may play a role as between the buyer and seller is, as you put it, depends a great deal on what the contract itself says. If the terms of the buyer-seller contract doesn't address contingencies, the seller may be liable for more than just the money paid under...

Hello all, hope you're safe, sound and coronavirus free. We encountered this issue during an attempt to purchase Purell hand sanitizer from an online store that was taking backorders but not actually stating that they were out of stock. The order was stuck after "processing" just before the...

Whoops, I didn't edit my answer which I posted prematurely while I was multitasking. With a good degree of confidence you might not have a problem if there isn't a likelihood of confusion in the marketplace along with a few assumptions. My original post was far too optimistic and inaccurate...

Have you asked or probed the company what they would be willing to pay for your solution? While I wouldn't rely solely on their response, this may give you an idea of the perceived market value and whether it might be worth going the legal / intellectual property protection route. Patent work is...

edit: I would say with caution that you might be able to proceed. First, in this case, the names might not be exactly translated even though they may be the usual equivalents of biblical Hebrew names. Second is that the trademark is for the mark itself and may not confuse the public with the...

If anyone can do it, e.g. just using an API to create a solution, consider the relatively low barrier to entry regarding your leverage. what do they want - to purchase the software? Pay you for the process so they can replicate and sever your relationship? Without knowing more, my instinct is...

The rant is OK. For those who have a difficult time believing what was stated, here is an article from one of the major news outlets who reported it. Bail Reform: NYC To Offer Mets Tickets, Doughnut Gift Cards To Get Freed Inmates Back In Court All of this is a bit unsettling for many New...

This reason for stopping the subway during rush hour is absolutely the quintessential example of how far the MTA has fallen from its zenith. Bed bugs return to Forest Hills subway control tower — Queens Daily Eagle Evening rush delayed by bed bug in Forest Hills — Queens Daily Eagle

Yesterday was a commuting nightmare for many New York City residents and workers as a result of an anti-police anti-MTA/transportation fare enforcement demonstration that featured vandalism at numerous subway stations and dozens of arrests. Over 1,000 members of a group calling themselves...

Probably right. @PayrollHRGuy refers to one such scenario we have in New York City. Near a relative's home there is an intersection with a slow light and a gas station on the corner. Some cars would regularly cut through the gas station to avoid the waiting for the light to make a right turn. In...
