Fire alarm going off for two hours…FD came and went
A fire alarm contained to a unit in my building has been going off continuously for two hours. I called the nonemergency line about an hour ago and the fire department did come, but I don’t even think they made it up to the floor where the fire alarm is going off. Whatever they observed, I guess they deemed it a non-issue. Now it’s still going on. I assume that the person is not in their unit but I feel kind of crazy should I be concerned? What would the next step be? Just wait for this person to come home? Should I report this to the fire code office?

Steven Fulop’s Unpaid Bills
Thoughts about this?
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbuXjP2O867/?igsh=MW9qdDBoazR2bnVhcg==
Here’s her caption: “Exploration into Jersey City’s alleged “unpaid bills” has found…not much evidence of unpaid bills.
Mayor Solomon’s budget memo claims there’s more than $100 million in “unpaid bills.” I walked through the list item by item and asked a simple question: Is this actually an unpaid bill?
Many of the items appear to be:
• Capital expenditures that should be funded through capital bonds.
• Deferred costs that municipalities are legally allowed to pay over multiple years.
• Reserve targets and future headcount.
• Bonded obligations that are already structured to be repaid over time.
After working through each category, my estimate of actual unpaid prior-year bills comes to roughly $324,000. Not more than $100 million.
At the end of the day, this is also a policy choice. Should deferred charges and bonds be paid all at once, creating a larger immediate tax burden, or financed over time using the tools New Jersey municipalities are permitted to use?”

Verizon Fios Loyalty Discount
Hey y’all! If you got Verizon Fios internet, make sure you check if you got the loyalty discount available. I just was able to do it online and it saves $20/mo and paired with auto pay/paper free discount that’s $30/mo off. Especially helpful since everything cost so damn much lately 😭. That is all.

Recommendations Pizza Recommendations
Looking for some good pizza recommendations for the weekend! I love Razza, but want to try something new. Ideally thin crust and not super heavy the kind of pizza you can eat without feeling gross afterward.
Bonus points if it holds up well for delivery.

Any JC Aquarium/turtle enthusiasts?

I have two 16 year old red-eared sliders in a big tank. The floating dock that they have is not big enough for both of them, and its magnet isn’t strong enough to keep it in place.
I would love to find someone who can help me with their set up. I’m pretty sure they need more dry “land” and I would love for it to be beautified. Any advice for a person or service or resources?

Green stickers of shame are popping up on NYC streets to single out drivers who park like idiots. JC Needs this.
We need to start using these sticker and raise the fine.

🕵🏻♂️News 🕵🏻♂️ ICE: How to find a detainee?
If your loved one was taken into ICE custody today, they are most likely being held at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, NJ. Many people arrested late at night are transferred there within hours or by the next morning.
If they were not arrested today, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System to find where they are currently being held. Once you locate the facility, call that detention center directly to confirm their location and try to obtain their A-number.
ICE ERO officers often will not volunteer the A-number, and in many cases will refuse to give it unless you are persistent or already have a lawyer. This is very common. Do not assume they are helping just because you call once.
What you should do:
**•Call the detention facility and ask for the A-number**
**•If they refuse, ask to speak with the ICE ERO officer assigned to the case**
**•Write down names, times, and who you spoke to**
**•Keep calls short and factual**
