rob,
there are plenty of really good food pantries operating out of sites all over Brooklyn and Manhattan. I volunteer a little time at one on Christopher Street near the West Side Highway, it is part of a mission run by the Mother Teresa Sisters. It is a very nice and welcoming place.
I think that makes you pwned, slopefarm 🙂
Many cats think they are peacocks.
it’s seriously beginning to creep me out how many cat people are on this blog. cats are mad creepy. not as creepy as peacocks but creepy nonetheless. (theyre kinda stinky too)

I wasn’t giving legal advice when I suggested that it might be overturned on appeal. In fact, they are appealing. I don’t give a rats ass one way or the other. It’s just another nail in the coffin for the rights of a landlord.
Given all the bullshit in this City re tenants rights and all that I think there are better ways to make money here than being a landlord.
I do rent out one floor of my brownstone but that’s not really related to these issues.
Belated response to what and DIBS on Stuytown decision. Below is a link. Remind me not to take legal advice from either of you.
What, although I am not an RE lawyer I can’t see how this decision has any bearing on co-ops and condos. Scope is limited to stabilized rental units affected by J-51. Big time landlords may be quaking, but no reason for coopers and condo owners to be nervous, far as I can tell. Wishful thinking on your part.
DIBS, it looks like a long shot for Ct. App. reversal. Wishful thinking on your part as well, but at first blush it doesn’t look like they’ve mangled the applicable law. Also, no dissents (two get you an automatic shot). If you have some insight as to the legal error committed here, I would be curious.

P.S. On the cat discussion: I have three cats. If they all own me, does that make me a co-op?
He’s probably referring to those frightening saxons, dittoburg. Or BRG :-).
A Day at the Death Star
Great lyrics though.
Don’t make me have to separate you!
