    Appeal on DSNY summons on ashtray contents, paper(s),,,,, on street gutters. Appeal

    The ALJ must say that because those are the rules. I just successfully fought a Department of Sanitation violation (incredible that the issuing officer did what they did) and was fortunate to receive a dismissal, as I expected. The following is not legal advice. There is much I do not know...

    Appeal on DSNY summons on ashtray contents, paper(s),,,,, on street gutters. Appeal

    Thanks @adjusterjack and feel free to contact me @Union-NY if you'd like. I address all the sanitation and other DoT and DoS summonses for my building since it doesn't pay to have our attorney deal with them and I've handled it before. #1) Nobody can help you with any summons unless you...

    NYC Department of Sanitation summons Title 16-118(2)(a)

    You must have found the case that I addressed a while ago. I'm wondering whether it is related in its purpose. I don't know that it's a blight that can be seen from the street but, from the wording, maybe the impact on the areas described above. Good luck...

    Ex-Spouse Military Benefits

    Sorry to hear about the death of your brother and the family situation. Without addressing the actual question you're asking: as this seems to require you to invest time and possibly extend yourself, what reason would you have to want you to do this? Maybe there are are reasons that you don't...

    NYC Department of Sanitation summons Title 16-118(2)(a)

    My most sincerest sympathy. It is a painful routine here in New York City. Note that it is very important to provide the entire description of the offense contained in the sanitation summons. Some of the Department of Sanitation regulations are nigh incomprehensible. Let's see if I can help make...

    The presidential pardon

    LOL. What I meant is don't go too far overboard. This is like a clear path to the basket to dunk.

    The presidential pardon

    Hi all. I'm sure you've all heard about the pardon that shook the world. Statement from President Joe Biden | The White House This will certainly be a divisive topic. I posted it in the General Chat section and news because of the magnitude. But let's please be civil, keep our composure, be...

    President Joe Biden signs presidential pardon for his son Hunter Biden

    Today, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement that he signed a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden. The statement is below. Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and I kept my word...

    Kicked out/ lost all belongings without eviction

    Very sorry to hear about your significant life and financial challenges. We don't know the specific details, which are important. Some thoughts: 1) No eviction notice was necessary if you paid rent and fulfilled your obligations of the lease. If they allowed you to rent orally month to month...

    Help with lost collections bill

    I'm sorry to hear about your employment and financial challenges. What do you mean it was financed through Paypal? If you were making payments on Paypal, the payee should be listed in your transaction history. It is unclear of what you mean about how actual transactions might have disappeared...

    Missing sign on part of block

    I've been to the New York City Traffic Violations Bureau and Parking Violations Bureau just a few times. Matters are heard in front of judges called "ALJs" or "Administrative Law Judges" aka "TVB Judges" (Transit Violation Bureau Judges) for traffic violations and PVB Judges for Parking...

    Small NYC business impact of congestion pricing

    @welkin - Unfortunately, my cynical experience is that the "voice being heard" public comment town hall is often just a charade to cover bases before implementing some regulation or action, claiming that a fair hearing with the public took place. My guess is that others with even more...

    Piercing the corporate Vail.

    I don't know whom you sued and whether you sued both the corporation and him personally or you just sued the corporation. It sounds like the latter is what you may have done. @Tax Counsel provides good insight. You have two different issues. One, you need to win the case first in order for...

    I was evicted after I moved out

    I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. It sounds like you may need an attorney who is a personal injury or toxic torts attorney and you seem to have someone who still should be able to give you some insight as to the chances of success in your situation. As such, your attorney, who knows all the...

    Excessive Phone Calls

    In summary, it would seem the answer is "it depends and probably not." As always, if there is an agreement in place, that needs to be reviewed since that would govern the terms and provide insight to answer the question. There are so many questions to ask but keep in mind the 'best interests of...

    I and several family members are victims of voter fraud. Help.

    Sorry to hear about your surprise. While you may be worried about possible election fraud and the outcome of the election, it doesn't seem there is likely cause for such concern in this instance. 1) I have seen significant amounts of online efforts made to promote voting and it is possible that...

    Is there a noncompete law?

    I'm guessing that this refers to seeing an online discussion about the court decision. The offer and agreement appears to have a non-compete clause or agreement which would be invalidated by the FTC's ban on non-compete restrictions. Given the timing of the post, the court in issue would be the...

    Is there a noncompete law?

    What @adjusterjack says should be taken seriously, especially with regard to sales. If it's drafted the right way (and I've drafted, reviewed and negotiated many), they will have a 'savings clause' which states something to the effect that if the stated limitation is deemed to be in violation of...

    Federal District Court Judge Strikes Down Biden Ban on Worker 'Noncompete' Contracts!

    I was wondering how it could possibly be upheld. I completely appreciate the plight of workers and employees from being held hostage to strict non-competition and non-disclosure agreements that are being used as weapons, especially those that are completely open ended and not tailored to address...
