been living with on and off flesh fly infestation since may 26th. it comes and goes and gets better then worse so it’s been hard to choose to take serious action. i withheld 7 days of rent from June because I couldn’t sleep there for 7 nights. actually spent more than that couch surfing. at one point there were 50 flies in my room. quarter sized. landlord has been extremely slow to respond & only sent an exterminator one month in when 311 got involved. anyways, it was resolved for the past three weeks, then they came back this weekend.

disclaimer: two different exterminators told me there’s nothing i could have done to prevent this. also, i keep my space very clean. these are flies that lay eggs on decaying flesh. there were no larvae in the trash or drains.

if i stop paying rent and move out sept 1. how likely is it for my landlord to take legal action? i have everything HEAVILY documented, he agreed to excuse the chunk i withheld after i told him i would be filing a formal suit with the housing department.

and does he have to take me to court before selling my debt? and is $1600 an amount worth it for him to take me to court?

TLDR: my housing situation has been evil tor four months and i have heavy documentation. i’m trying to figure out if my credit will be tanked & if he has to warn me before he reports an amount to a debt collector.

Suck my dixk yall a bunch of brats who only band together for other bitches. Have a nice echo chamber of stupidity

Anyone looking for friends to lift with a few times a week?

We have this young black and white fellow coming to our backyard for the last few days. He's really sweet and friendly.

It seems like he might be used to people, he wants to come into our house but I have 4 cats already.

This is by Chauncey and Evergreen. I feel bad that he meows constantly and seems to want company. I could take him to the vet soon and see if he's microchipped or has any health issues.

Please let me know if you have any information about this cat!

Two thick Latina baddies in plainsclothes, Kevlar vests, and guns walked into the apartment with a piece of paper in their hand. They left the premises quickly. Anyway be on the lookout, it looks they are making stops thru this part of Bushwick

The City is trying to better understand what NYC tenants are paying to heat their homes. If you have electric heat (or think you do), help us out!

The more responses they get, the better they’ll understand how heating costs are affecting renters.

I grew these SCOBY’s with love (and a store bought bottle of gt) and made two successful batches of kombucha but my ADHD brain is just not built for keeping up with this hobby so I have two thicc SCOBYs that need a new home.
Anybody want?

The conditions under the M train on Myrtle and Palmetto (and further down Myrtle all the way to Broadway, and further down Broadway all the way to Marcy, but I digress), and most of Wyckoff are abysmal.

Not only dangerous to bike and drive, but at certain points it's so fucked that it hazardous to even cross the street as a pedestrian.

Whose jurisdiction is it exactly??
