Community Groups, Activities & Events / Midweek Compost?
« on: April 24, 2019, 01:49:37 PM »
Does anyone know anywhere in the neighborhood to donate compost midweek? We have missed the Greenmarket and the Saturday JHBG options the past few weeks and have a freezer that is bursting with compost...any advice would be much appreciated!

Real Estate & Home Improvement / Co-ops With Online Banking?
« on: April 01, 2018, 08:51:20 PM »
Hi neighbors,

I'm the new treasurer at one of the many co-ops in the neighborhood. We are a self-managed building, and we've always done things old-school, with paper maintenance checks each month. I'm hoping to give our residents the option to pay their maintenance electronically. Has anyone at a self-managed building set this up successfully? The roadblock I've encountered is that Zelle, which is the app that powers most inter-bank transactions (as I understand it) has a $1000 daily transaction limit. That's less than some of our units pay in maintenance, so it seems like a no-go. I'm looking for a workaround and would love any advice!

Many thanks.

Neighborhood Chat / PS 69?

Does anyone know anything about the assistant principal position at PS 69? A friend just let me know that they are hiring an assistant principal (http://schools.nyc.gov/NR/rdonlyres/9B5724B8-9C67-43A6-A129-247001AB7353/0/APPostings81617.pdf), and I am curious if any parents know what's going on. Thanks!

Real Estate & Home Improvement / The Colonials
« on: March 31, 2017, 10:13:45 AM »
Anyone have theories as to why The Colonials (82nd between 34th and 35th) tend to be so affordable compared to other co-op buildings in the historic district? Full disclosure: I live in one of the buildings and have been curious about this ever since we moved here in 2015. I've got some theories but am curious to hear what others think.

Neighborhood Chat / Donation sites in the neighborhood?
« on: February 11, 2017, 07:03:25 PM »
Just wondering if anyone knows of a place in the neighborhood that accepts donations of books or toiletries...did some cleaning today and we have a bunch. Would prefer not to have to trash them! Thanks.

Real Estate & Home Improvement / Window Seat
« on: October 18, 2015, 10:10:40 AM »
Hi everyone,

My wife and I moved to JH a few months ago and are finally feeling settled. We're thinking about putting a window seat in our apartment for a little extra storage/charm. We're considering doing it ourselves, but we are also curious about how much it would cost to hire a contractor. The space is 9.5 feet wide (see attached photos). If anyone has a rough sense of how much it might cost to hire someone and/or recommendations for a good contractor, we would be very appreciative. Thanks very much!
