The Council has approved vacancy decontrol…well, it was the Borough Council in Little Ferry, NJ, but still. Moving to gradually deregulate more than 1300 units the Council decided that regulating rents depressed apartment property values. That, in turn, unfairly raised property taxes for homeowners. Someone must have paid attention in Econ 101.
Have any old electronic devices lying around? You know you do, and so do your tenants. Buildings with more than 10 units can now sign up to get those old phones, CRT televisions and other potentially hazardous e-waste taken away with e-cycleNYC. Depending on the size and type of building, a City contractor might make a one time pickup or maintain a collection bin on premises…and keep your hands out of there, you have enough junk already.
Superstorm Sandy is over, but the need for thousands of emergency housing units is not, and may occur again. The City Office of Emergency Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have selected a modular design to be developed for future urban disasters. The winner is a three-story row house. Units are 12 x 40 with an exterior stair and three one bedroom apartments expandable to three bedrooms with additional modules alongside. The units comply with New York City building codes and construction takes almost no time. A prototype building is going up soon in Brooklyn.
