@jaymart222 @jenngradybklyn You can get a tenant evicted in less time than that, Ive seen it multiple times
English
@jenngradybklyn If there no money to make repairs it really doesn’t matter. Renters also have when rents don’t adjust to increase wear and tear on a unit to cause violation when there is 0 shared responsibility. You simply cannot get an eviction in less then 12-18 months in NYC with cause.
English
Vacancy Control.
Tenant died in February 2025; it took a year in housing court to gain possession. The renter occupied the unit for 46 years.
He owed $19,957.41 on a rent of $1,234.87 at the time of death. Operating cost is $1,380, so it “makes” -$146 every month before renovation costs.
The rent cannot be changed on vacsncy and tbe Rent Guidlines Board does not keep up with cost. There is no mechanism to cover the costs of the full gut renovation needed for the next renter, nor will a bank extend a loan to do the work to cover the costs with a rent that can never pay it back.
As a result, the unit will stay empty.
This is your city on vacancy control.

@FTCQueenx2 @DameCJNurk social media + fandom culture has changed drastically. anyone can get offended by anything and you have no idea if itll blow up to grave proportions or not. its simply not worth the headache for the company

Is doing ponderosa videos that EXPENSIVE??? Is survivor on the brink of being canceled? Why are they being so frugal?? I’m sure they could find some shitty film intern to do it for free. They need to replace exec boomers and GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT #survivor #survivor50

I’m so sad we don’t have cameras at Ponderosa. I just know when Coach arrived at Ponderosa the conversation between Dee and Coach was top tier #survivor50

@JerseyShade I feel like people on twitter have been really intense about the women this season, either loving them too much (like Genevieve) or hating them too much (like Aubry) its just literally too much! like relax!

The Chrissy hate is so forced… she literally did nothing wrong. Like sorry she played hard ??? #Survivor50

@DukeandDukeCB @KennyBurgosNY Just choosing to believe the tenant didnt let LL in for 40 years (mind you, LLs have options to get in over tenants possible objection) and arbitrarily claiming its a money pit for the past 10 years while ignoring the 30 before… this is not a convo in good faith on your part lol
English
@jameswheaties @KennyBurgosNY Can’t say of the tenant ever let the LL in the unit since 1985 (happens in NYC). But also, can’t fix a unit without money and the cash flow on this unit is almost assuredly negative for well over a decade.
English
These are so frustrating to receive.
A building owner sent me this video of a 2BR Upper West Side apartment he just got back, but after he empties it out it will stay vacant going forward.
The tenant lived here since 1985 and the current legal rent is $940.01
Because of the 2019 HSTPA law, a building owner is expected to fully renovate this unit to current building code (that’s a good thing), but also expected to lose money in perpetuity at the same time.
This 2BD would need well over $100,000 to clean out the debris, comply with lead laws, upgrade major systems, remove the Sheetrock + much more just to make this into an apartment a tenant would actually want to live in with dignity.
But the law says the $940 rent would still end up below the estimated $1300/mo it costs to operate the apt which covers insurance, property taxes, labor, fuel, and capital expenditures for the building.
So if the new rent falls below the operating cost, the owner would still lose money every month and never see $1 back from the $100k+ renovation.
Why would the state expect anyone to lose money like this? What bank would ever provide a loan with no path to repayment? Why do we acknowledge the cost to build housing but ignore what it takes to preserve older housing?
Why do we accept this policy when thousands of New Yorkers are searching for housing in the midst of the worst supply crunch we’ve ever seen?
So frustrating.
English
@DukeandDukeCB @KennyBurgosNY Obvious water damage in the cielings and walls, buckling floors, broken doors, and thats just what you can see in the video, who knows if theres mold or broken appliances or vermin etc
English
@jameswheaties @KennyBurgosNY Better for the LL if the tenant stays under current law.
Rights to a unit without what conditions?
English
@DukeandDukeCB @KennyBurgosNY better for tenant to stay and LL to not spend the $100k for the repairs right? even though a tenant has rights to a unit without those conditions? cause thats the vibe im getting from this exchange
English
@jameswheaties @KennyBurgosNY The new rent still would be well below the $1300/mo even after a slight bump from the $100k+ repair bill so the LL would be out the $100k+ AND still be losing money every month after.
With a vacant they’ll lose about $500-600/mo.
Better to lose $360/mo with the tenant in place.
English
@DukeandDukeCB @KennyBurgosNY You and OP dont even know the buildings operating costs yet claim the new rent wouldnt even help LL cover that. Please be serious. Youre saying it wouldve been better for tenant to continue living in conditions and paying LL, in that scenario does LL do repairs or not?
English
@jameswheaties @KennyBurgosNY Can’t say of the tenant ever allowed the LL in the unit since 1985 (good chance not), but regardless, you can’t make repairs and investment in a unit without money.
Also, no reward for turnover for the LLs. Would’ve been better for this LL if the tenant was in place paying rent.
English
@dnvr_is_burning @KennyBurgosNY The tenant lived there for over 40 years and you seriously think the entire time landlord was unable to afford any repairs? please be serious… i will just assume you dont fully understand since youre not in NYC
English
@jameswheaties @KennyBurgosNY No the owner was not doing repairs because he wasn't being paid enough to even cover his other costs. No one is gonna go further into the red out of their own pocket to do repairs and maintenance... not even the dummies who think rent control & stabilization is a good thing

@SecularReaction @phlooka @ghostbums @nicholascarrigg Youre the one who suggested materials that would last 100 years, which implies theyd start to deteriorate after that time. Unless you meant to say materials that would never deteriorate? Im not trying to argue about syntax btw
English
@jameswheaties @phlooka @ghostbums @nicholascarrigg No, you would not. A cement substrate is nothing like a resin substrate. We can make far better composites today and you could also make tiles that don’t break when you try to remove them as easily which is one of the key problems.

It's so messed up that there's this miracle rock out there that solves so many problems that we can't use because it'll kill us.

Asbestos as explained in the 1950s.

@darrenmichaelxo @boredfawn @GreenGayYT yeah obviously, youre original reply seemed to insinuate that youd agree with them doing that as its legally protected. meaning you agree with the essence of the decision…
English
@jameswheaties @boredfawn @GreenGayYT Not at all! in response to the question of legality of not employing, or to not cast someone for their political views, as a private business if you can legally refuse service for LGBTQ people, they can also not cast or remove someone 4 political views
English
@SecularReaction @phlooka @ghostbums @nicholascarrigg You would just be prolonging the same problem when the materials deteriorate in 100 years and the asbestos can get exposed… or some kind of event happens that cracks the material in that 100 years like an eartquake, nearby building collapse, etc
English
@phlooka @ghostbums @nicholascarrigg No the issue is that a material is walled off from most future use that we could be applying new techniques to make safer. Like a new safer roofing material that still lasts 100 years like the old stuff just less brittle.
English
English
@boredfawn @GreenGayYT Political affiliation is not a protected status lol and Supreme Court made it legal to refuse services to LGBTQ people for private businesses. So yes they can if they want.

This only exists because no one is allowed to adapt the actual Chocolate factory sequel novel btw
Netflix@netflix
CHARLIE VS. THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, a new animated film starring Kit Connor and Taika Waititi, is coming to Netflix. Willy Wonka has returned to his factory after years behind bars for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world, only one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley and a new generation of "rotten" kids.

@svviftlet arbitrary awards category names cant strip you of your gender. unfortunately theres not enough NB actors working to make a 3rd category make sense yet. maybe someday but not now, it is what it is
English
as a side note, this brings up an interesting point about gender in nominations. vic could be nominated for actress but they aren’t an actress - they don’t identify as a woman, they are non-binary. this happened with bella ramsey as well. it’s a v complicated issue bc obv you don’t want to take away an opportunity for women to be recognized, which would inadvertently happen by removing the gender limits of categories. but it feels gross to me that people like vic and bella are essentially forced into a box that doesn’t fit them and misgendered for the purpose of recognition. idk how to feel ab it

@bisoubisoubibi @ClickingSeason Im pretty sure theyd be more offended theyre waiting longer for no reason
English
@jameswheaties @ClickingSeason a lot of customers will be very offended that "You 🫵 the gen z idiot are Rushing Me !!! " or are even appalled that they would dare speak first bcz theyre so young and "feeble" There us genuinely no winning
English
This is wrong. It’s simply that there is a script to customer service interactions. “Can I help who’s next?” Or “what can I get you today” indicate to the customer that you are ready to take their order. If someone walks to the counter and you say nothing, you add friction.
fluffy@fluffy542
the Gen Z stare is one of the most misunderstood phenomenons. it's because, in order to notice it, you have to be making a mistake and unaware that you are. gen Z stare happens in response to fakeness. that's it. nothing more to it. fakeness is what you call normal. "hi how are you" without sincerity is just strange -- have you ever sat back one day and thought about that? or when you walk in a shop and expect the person to put up a fake smile, signal emotions which they aren't actually feeling, and greet you according to a script instead of how they actually feel. do you think that is ok. do you, the person insisting for it, not consider that it's inhuman? gen Z recoils at this fakeness and is the first real generation this country has had in a century. you're witnessing their resistance to your fakeness, and your insistence to it. ... and you aren't even aware you're doing it. you are so helplessly unaware that you believe something is wrong with them instead. it's ironic that you call gen Z disturbing; it's you who disturbs.
