My condo board is harassing me and trying to levy a $500/day fine…

Asked Fri Nov 7 2008, 11:12 by Condo Owner - 10021 - General Area - 5 answers

Antolin Du Bois answered:

Tell them to go f--k themselves. You have everything in writing, they will lose. But of course, re-read the by-laws. Then, let them know that you are planning to do two things. The first is that you are contacting a lawyer.

The second is that you are considering moving out thanks to their harrassment, and intend upon listing your condo unit with (non-working) section 8, and soon they will have new residents in the building. - Fri Nov 14 2008, 13:25

Sell or sublet?

Asked Sat Nov 8 2008, 17:33 by Ray - New York - Market Conditions - 6 answers

Antolin Du Bois answered:

From a strictly financial point of view Ray, it really depends upon the cash flow. If you can cover your expenses including the vampire tax that the co-op is sure to place on the rental, then rent it out. But I suspect that you bought at nearly the height of the market, and I also suspect that you won't come close to covering your expenses by renting, even with all the depreciation and interest deductions. In this case as in every other, cut your losses short, run your winners long. Sell it, take the loss, and treat it as a learning experience in Rental and Investment University. - Fri Nov 14 2008, 13:09

How does Jamaica rate comp. to other Queens n.hoods in terms of quality of life, etc.

Asked Tue Nov 27 2007, 08:30 by E.d. Miller - Jamaica - Quality of Life - 1 answer

Antolin Du Bois answered:

Crappy.

It is the epicenter of the foreclosure and subprime crises, and it never was a great nabe to begin with. Basically, most of the houses were old 1 family frames many converted to legal and illegal two family frame, but not really ever taken care of with love. The people who bought many of these houses were often decent people, but their kids often like to hang out, and the poor local schools- like Jamaica High School, reflect that. There is a cluster of activity at Jamaica center- where the E and F trains intersect the LIRR and the Light Rail to JFK, but aside from that section, most of Jamaica I would avoid. For a little more money, you can get a much nicer nabe- with better schools, better parks, better houses, and better youngsters.

Nobody should be sleeping over if you are not married, black, white or green. Its called fornication.

And Trulia, I know that you will delete this, and that is called censorship. - Fri Nov 14 2008, 12:52
