no but houses/apartments break down on a regular basis and you need to pay a plumber to fix the sewer or patch up the roof or etc. not doing it in a building could potentially make you liable to the neighbors-- say, if theres an electrical fire or a flood or something. insurance won't pay if you're found negligent. i dont know what kind of setup you've got (if there are condo fees or what not) but check & doublecheck. |

no fees, but i'll probably have to pay a lot of fucking money in property taxes.
i don't know what kind of house/apartment you're accustomed to but i would suggest moving out if shit keeps breaking like that.

the other day the plumber needed to come & fix some pipes. it cost the owner $2.5K. they had another quote for $4K for the same job. that's in new mexico. for new york, price double. your "property" is now a baby you'll have to take care of. congratulations, baby mama! ![]() |

Yeah, plumbing and electricity are bad news if you're doing it yourself.

Never been. I'd love to one day. Even on a family vacation, where I'd have to do really touristy stuff. But that isn't ideal.

I have been twice now, in February 2005, and October 2006. I am going again with my art school in February 2010.
It's lovely, i could see myself living there for a couple of years, but no longer than that. Live in New York once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. |

my point exactly you should have seen what happened when the sink backed up in my old dc apartment. the neighbor above dumped a shitload of rice on the garbage disposal which ended up getting clogged UNDER my sink. then when anybody from 3 floors above would open the sink, MINE would overflow. a shit night i tell you. the super fixed it right away, and changed the pipes the following day, but i still missed a stereolab show i had tickets for. |

![]() you guys have got a lot to learn. there are a lot of things you shouldn't put in a garbage disposal.

[quote=!@#$%!]so i read the both sides of the story and while the dude comes across as a real asshole, it makes me wonder, [quote]
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30373593&postID=88512704685635560 84 but to put it simply: "This determination in review by the court of appeals will now permit the eviction of the entire number of tenants of any residential stabilized building by any landlord making the claim of a desire to take the entire building as a his or her personal residence . It is only required that this landlord live in the building exclusively for 3 years ; thereafter he or she may dispose of the building as he or she desires . There is of course no mechanism defined or established to assure that such landlord does actually live in the building exclusively for these 3 years." |
