We got our bathroom and kitchen tile at Mondial Tile at 14 Ave/65th St. I thought they had a great selection.

We refinanced our co-op unit through Sovereign, which is fairly regional (east coast).

I don't know if anyone is following this anymore, but the awning has "Fortune Co Inc" on it (I hope I'm remembering that correctly). I have no idea what's going to be in the space.

i still find it amazing that people buy into co-ops and have no idea how they work.

There's a place on St Marks in Prospect Heights. I've never been there so I don't know what kind of work they do.

I just got back from the UK and they already had decorations in stores/malls and ads on TV. We should consider ourselves lucky.

and i think you're responsible if something in your apt causes damage to other units in your building, right? this is a bad example, but if your bathtub overflows and causes water damage to other units. can someone confirm this?

Not on rails, but I thought I'd throw this out there:

For the sake of ease, the place of 5th Ave. is called Stained Glass Store - (718) 768-7964, 302 5th Ave. @ 2nd St. They also teach classes in stained glass.

What is a reasonable price to expect per sqft?

Posted by: NewOwner08 at November 15, 2008 8:32 PM in response to Stained Glass to-order

Update for stained glass: I went with Sunburst Studio on 3rd ave not far from Lowes. I am getting 3 windows, about 26 x 30 each, at a cost of about $675 each roughly. I am using their in-stock glass, not ordering anything special. Hopefully someone would find this useful.

Dont own one... yet. Im looking at condos/coops in BayRidge/Shore Rd currently. Thanks for all the insight!!!

At this particular point I would be MORE wary of condos than coops. Here's why:

1) Despite the flaunted "benefit" of condos in NY in recent years, they tend to come at a 50% premium over coops (even established coops in NY).

2) Many of the new condos are NEW construction, which is oftentimes shoddy. (Not always).

3) If a condo owner chooses not to pay maintenance the remaining shareholders are on the hook, since heat has to be provided, insurance and taxes have to be paid. The law gives the condo very little means to get this back from unit owners, compared to coops.

I do agree with the above posters: whether you buy into a coop or a condo; it should be a WELL-ESTABLISHED one. THat's no guarantee against future failure, but it does reflect a (hopefully good) track record. If a coop has a mortgage (many do), make sure that the debt to equity ratio is reasonable. Just as you don't want an "under water" owner living next door to you; you don't want to be living in an underwater building, either. Also: the more units sold AND occupied by owners, the better.

Thanks for the (so far) three suggestions. Do all of these stores have a large selection in stock though??
