The overgrown foliage is just a nesting place where rodents and squirrels live and reproduce. Last time when I checked with the health dept., this was unacceptable. I looks more like a jungle everyday. sometimes more is not better. What does this take for a tennant to get bit by a rat. Before you know it,rodents will work their way onto floors, and then for sure the health dept. will be notified. We pay too much rent for rodents and bugs to be taking over.

Little doubt that you are the same solo voice that goes on ST blogs to rail against "rent-controlled" tenants. The fact that we, in Stuy Town, are rent-stabilized, not rent-controlled, nearly indicates that you do not even live here. But if you do live here, try to brush up on your facts, firstly. Secondly, no rent-stabilized tenant that I know of is giving market-rate tenants here any grief, so if you ARE getting grief from them, it may be your personality, more than anything else.Stuy Town Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538426011607971633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-4331316189454276792011-08-11T11:26:11.485-04:002011-08-11T11:26:11.485-04:00I have no doubt that most of these comments were l...I have no doubt that most of these comments were left by those "old-timers" who enjoy the luxury of rent-controlled apartments. You seem to be very vocal when it comes to criticizing the way Rose manages the property,however quiet when it comes to your neighbors illegally sub-letting their apartments, and fudging their taxes to make it look like stuy town is their primary residence. I, if you can't already tell, pay market rate. We market rate renters are constantly made to feel unwelcome, unwanted, and as though we are the cause of all the "new problems". In reality, if it were not for our financial contribution to stuy town, it would be in an even worse economic position than it is today. I am constantly sneered at and told to get my dog out of stuy-town, which my dollars, not yours, pay to maintain. If I were a rent-controlled resident, I would shut my mouth and count my blessings. As for the food trucks, quality of living is what draws people like us to stuy town, without us this place would be shuttered and filthy. If you want flowers in your gardens, electricity in your hallways, and security on your walkways, be quiet and enjoy a taco. Alienation of your patrons, will get you nowhere, remember that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-65591285542017835702011-07-25T21:54:10.131-04:002011-07-25T21:54:10.131-04:00Anon 12:29 PM:

So few people pay dues or keep their membership current that the TA cant even muster up enough people to hold an election. They have made themselves irrelevant by putting all their eggs in one basket, that basket being a conversion. The TA and Dan Garodnick were so gung ho for a conversion that they sold their souls thinking residents of ST and PCV wanted to buy and have them (the TA and Dan)run the place that they no longer hold any power. Rose ASSociates laughs at them now. Lux Living summed it up best when he said (I'm paraphrasing) that the TA couldn't run a bake sale much less ST/PCV. I concur, except I would throw Dan Garodnick in the same boat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-65060817652870179972011-07-25T12:29:05.443-04:002011-07-25T12:29:05.443-04:00I have a stockpile of at least 5 years worth of 10...I have a stockpile of at least 5 years worth of 100w and 150w incandescent bulbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-54186440636018391782011-07-25T01:03:57.726-04:002011-07-25T01:03:57.726-04:00Im with 8:08.
