Rent Increases and Rent Overcharge

i filed a rent overcharge complaint and it will take up to 2 years for me to see any relief because the state office in charge of these cases is underfunded and completely backed up. it will get worse as more new yorkers realize what's going on. you should file anyway tho. hcr.ny.gov/rent-increas...

the only thing the state has started doing is fining landlords who don't register their rent stabilized units - $500 per unit per month. that got my landlord to register his units but he stated the wrong price for each one in my building - some are higher or lower than actual price.

Apartments Vanish From New York’s Rent Regulation System and Questions Linger About How Three years after a 2019 overhaul was supposed to stop landlords from removing most apartments from rent stabilization, thousands are left unaccounted for.

there is NO and i mean NO enforcement or mechanism in place at the state level to make sure landlords aren't overcharging rent stabilized tenants. @thecity.nyc has done great reporting on this. www.thecity.nyc/2022/12/23/r...

now that there is (rightfully) more attention being paid to rent-stabilized apartments, i really hope a critical mass emerges once folks realize how many of us are getting overcharged far beyond the legal hike each year. please request your rent history: www.amirentstabilized.com

Ok

Jk but seriously what is that band
I’ve never heard a less artless attempt at mixing genres
it’s like several AI versions of seminal genre artists got dumped in a blender

Granted I’m awful at listening to new music but if new indie rock sounds like Geese… thanks I’m good

Email text: National Nurses United and UE call for end to military operations, blockade in Palestine Unions demand U.S. recognize Palestine’s sovereignty and demand that Israeli government end violence, starvation, and injustices on Palestinian people National Nurses United (NNU), the country’s largest union and professional association of registered nurses, and the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE) — together representing over a quarter million union members — sent a letter today to President Trump to demand that “the Israeli government permanently end its military operations and blockade in Palestine, and that the United States immediately recognize the sovereignty of Palestine.” “Our unions concur with the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, which found that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” stated the letter. “The United States must intervene immediately to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.

Email text continued: The attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023 was an atrocity. But Israel’s collective punishment of millions of Palestinians and destruction of Gaza over two years constitute a crime against humanity,” the letter continued. “More than 65,000 Palestinians have been killed, including nearly 20,000 children, while 1.9 million have been displaced and countless others have been severely injured and have lost their family members since October 2023. The death toll includes many of our union siblings, including hundreds of health care workers, media workers, engineers, and civil servants killed on the job.” The letter concluded with a demand for “urgent action to immediately halt military aid to Israel; secure a permanent and immediate ceasefire that ensures an end to the mass killing and starvation of innocent Palestinian civilians; ensure that the remaining hostages in Gaza and political prisoners in Israel are safely returned home; and recognize Palestinian sovereignty and restore the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.”

NEWS: Major unions @nationalnurses.bsky.social and @ueunion.org are publicly demanding that the U.S. immediately halt military aid to Israel, recognize Palestinian sovereignty, and intervene “to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.”

i like how AI is marketed as a way to get your work done more efficiently when i spend at least a good portion of my day deleting and reporting spam emails from AI-generated lead marketers trying to recruit me or lend me money

i feel bananas for being one of what appears to be a small group of people who are not surprised

Very worried about media literacy, but Bill Burr truly makes the case for PERSON LITERACY, the sheer number of "surprised" folks is blowing my mind

all of a sudden he doesn't understand how wealth and the limiting of free speech work? really?

3 Screenshots from the movie "Network" (1976): First, a newsroom control room filled with men at monitors and staff watching intently as a broadcast goes live, with the subtitle reading “Good evening. Today is Wednesday, September the 24th…”. Second, an older news anchor in a suit sits at a desk under studio lights, leaning forward with a grave expression as the subtitle reads “…and this is my last broadcast.” Third, a man in a suit speaks urgently into a phone in the control room as people move in the background, with the subtitle reading “He’s saying that life is bullshit and it is. What are you screaming about?”.

ok now he's talking about loving jesus and being extremely charitable to CK but before that he talked about how we all want repro rights and gun control so i'll allow it as it is genuinely good to hear him use his platform for those things

not only is kimmel back on, he sounds like fucking john oliver right now, which is a hilarious consequence for the right
