It’s the compression aspect in the valve that is guaranteed to fail after a lot of use or simply the passage of time.Job #1 when I’m doing a rehab is to replace every single compression shutoff valve in the house with a quarter turn shutoff valve.

Maybe they don't realize that it was sky rocketing assessments (that weren't tied to an increase in property values) in the first place that led to its passage among other things.

Hey Vana, don't worry, everyone goes thru this, it's like a right of passage.

I'd say at least once a month I dream that I suddenly "remembered" a property I own (it's usually something extra cool like a castle or a huge house with secret passages) but I haven't been collecting rent or watching it.

I insulated the cold water pipe (with the flexible black kind with adhesive strip) and blocked the passage for warm moist air to get into the wall cavity.

How in the heck do you assign the NVAR contract with the "original parties remain obligated hereunder" passage ?

My dad isn't much on hype, but he sent the passage below to me via email this morning and I felt compelled to share it as a reminder to everyone how precious life is.  

“Landlords of rent stabilized units who try to use a temporary lapse in the rent stabilization laws to break existing leases, to raise rents improperly, to intimidate tenants, or to coerce tenants into leaving their homes, will be subject to the full force of law for any such action,” Cuomo wrote in a letter to be sent Sunday to landlords.The letter, obtained by the Daily News, states that despite any temporary lapses, the new rent laws once approved will be retroactive to June 15 — so “your legal obligations under existing leases and under the passage of the new rent stabilization program will not expire on that day.”De Blasio says if rent-regulated apartments law expires it would be 'end to New York City as we have known it'The governor directed landlords to continue to follow the current law until a new law is enacted and any changes are fully understood.

Then I ***HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** buying what they call passage knobs instead of locking handles-tenants can't lock themselves out that way.

Shared driveway--Do you own it or just have right of passage (an easement)(???)
