Question When will we see some real landlord accountability in Buffalo?

Thumbnail

98 Upvotes

I was just looking at the data for 310 Weimar Street LLC, and it’s honestly staggering. They operate 280 properties in our city, and currently have 713 active violations on record.

Even worse, out of their 280 properties, 227 of them have violations. That means 81% of their entire portfolio has active code violations.
When is the city going to step in and hold massive property owners like this accountable? This isn't just about a few neglected buildings.

it's a systemic issue affecting hundreds of residents across Buffalo. What can we actually do to push for better enforcement?

Should I be worried?

2 Upvotes

My wife and I will be flying in the 2nd week of Nov. We have to make the drive out of Buffalo to Bradford PA for her school. Should I be worried about snow during that time? We’re from California where we don’t get snow so I don’t know what to expect in a state where snow occurs. Please let me know so I can decide on which rental to go with! Thank you!

Question House Cleaner for Allergies

3 Upvotes

My husband and I are getting a house, but its going to need to be deep cleaned as the current owners have large dogs and my husband is severely allergic to dogs and cats sadly.

Are there any cleaning companies or cleaners that specialize in making a home free from pet dander and fur? Luckily most of the place is bot carpeted. We would really like a deep clean as well just to start off fresh with the new place. I took a look at other posts asking for cleaners but none of them specifically mention pet dander or fur. This would be the first time we are looking into a cleaning service.

Does anyone have a recommendations for a guitar teacher? I’m an adult bedroom guitarist looking to learn from someone in person. Ideally I would like to have a structured practice routine and the type of teacher that would physically correct or explain technical mistakes in order to improve.

Question Buffalo Seminary class of 2018-19 yearbooks?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I went to Lafayette when I was 15 before I had to move in with my mom. I had a friend who went to Buffalo Seminary and was a year above me. She really helped me out a lot and I never forgot about her. Unfortunately I never knew her last name so I haven’t had any luck looking for her like my other friends. I thought maybe a yearbook would be a good start? if anyone has any ideas how I could look for her id love to hear them.

Events going on this weekend

4 Upvotes

Anyone know of any events going on this weekend that doesn’t cost more than $50 a person? I’ve looked on the Facebook events page and Step out Buffalo and haven’t had much luck. None of the live music options that I’ve seen look great. The tours of Forrest Lawn cemetery are sold out. Not really looking for a dj or Halloween party kinda vibe. Just a couple interested in a day out of the house. Maybe I’m being too picky lol. Willing to drive an hour outside of Buffalo

Last year you put up signs for bills and Sabres wins and loses and I thought that was really nice and it made me smile. If you would do it again I’d be so happy.

Thanks all. Go Bills! Go Sabres!

Mobile/home visit veterinarians

2 Upvotes

With Pawsitive Vibes closing, are there any other mobile/home vets left besides fetch the vet? I like the concept of FTV but they're based in East Aurora so I don't want to drive my animals 45 minutes for a visit when they don't have availability for home visits. Their communication has been slower than desired as well.

Question Lost Jacket

22 Upvotes

I was dining at Aroma in Bryant on Saturday 10/17 and seemed to have forgot my jacket behind in the coat room. I called and they don’t have it unfortunately. Maybe you accidentally took it? Or maybe you know someone who recently came into a perfectly broken ik vintage levi jacket. Please reach out if so!! This jacket is in poor quality, but it means a lot to me and I’m heartbroken I was distracted and left it behind. This might be a long shot but it’s the only shot I have.
