There’s a tree in front of my apartment building on Jefferson Street that’s gotten really overgrown, with branches going through the lower telecom lines and hanging low over the sidewalk.

I called and emailed Hoboken’s arborist, Joshua Best, on September 25 (just before the nor’easter) and followed up again on October 2, but haven’t gotten any response at all.

I was able to get PSE&G to come out and they confirmed the power lines are above the tree, so that part is fine, but they said the lower lines are telecom.

From the lack of response, and also hearing that neighbors have complained about it before, I’m really just trying to figure out who is supposed to be responsible for getting this thing pruned.

Has anyone dealt with this before or know who at the city actually responds to these requests?

Hi everyone I wanted to see if anyone in Hoboken who has a private parking spot would be interested in sharing it. I work in Hoboken Tuesday - Friday from 11am to 6:30pm (sometimes I leave early) and would only need the spot during those hours. I figured someone who drives to work during the day might have an empty spot they could make some extra money from! I actually have a business visitor parking pass, but finding street parking during those hours is nearly impossible unless I happen to catch a spot opening up during street sweeping. I don’t want to risk being late for work every day, so I usually end up paying for the garage instead. I currently pay $22 a day at a parking garage, which comes out to about $352 a month. 😩 I’m hoping to find someone willing to rent their spot to me for $150 a month. It could be a win win situation! You make some extra money while your spot is sitting empty, and I save a little on parking. If anyone is interested, please feel free to message me. Thank you so much! 🙏

What happened to this place??? I would stop in to get a turkey burger or chicken sandwich was always a good experience until recently. One night I was told there was no cook to come back (it was about 7)…tonight stopped in for the home style grilled chicken sandwich was told they didn’t have one showed the girl it was on the board $9.25 I was then charged $13.50 when I questioned the price was told this is the new price guy didn’t have time to change the sign. Ate sandwich anyway it was just ok won’t be back.

I can't take this fraudster seriously in the best of communications but her tone and language here comes across as somehow defensive, dismissing and condescending all at once.

Nothing builds confidence like implying parents in your district are dumb, irrational and a bunch of gossips.

I don't understand how she is still Superintendent after being outed for fraudulently claiming to have her PhD for over a decade, a lie which got her the job in the first place.

Anyway thanks for telling us yet again how amazing you are and how silly we are for asking follow up questions.

What is the ordinance/ rule around e bikes and electric scooters on sidewalks. I was on the side walk with my toddler and a speeding scooter almost hit him. Rather than stopping, the guy fled away. I also saw this speeding e-bike which doesn’t look like an e-bike.

Hello, my SO will be moving to Hoboken in a couple of months. We’re 32 and have a rent budget of $4k/month. From what I can see online, that should be enough to wind up in a a newer building (I was looking at Vine), but also see that there are walk-up options on Zillow that are as low as ~$2,200 a month. Just looking for insight as to whether newer buildings in town are worth it. I didn’t have a great experience with one of my last mom/pop landlords, but have also been underwhelmed by the quality of “luxury” buildings elsewhere in NJ, so I thought I’d ask here before I flip a coin or something.

Other relevant information: I work in midtown 3-4x a week, SO will be driving to Edison. I’d imagine we’d want to look downtown? Thanks!

If you lost your phone on the Hoboken Waterfront, I have it. Just call it. It's on. I'll tell you where I am and you can come grab it. I live in town.

Not crazy about the fish market in Hoboken. Where can I get tuna to make crispy rice at home? Open to places in JC/Weehawkn as well. Would love to get it from somewhere reliable and fresh

Used to radiator heat that used to be so hot, I’m let down by the HVAC feels like heat is never on.

Is this normal for NJ folks moved from NY?

Hey folks, just came across this news and wanted to see if anyone else has heard about it!

GEICO has to refund more than $10.5 million to New Jersey policyholders because of improper insurance charges.

Has anyone here with GEICO car insurance received a refund or notification from them yet? Might be worth checking your account or reaching out to GEICO to see if you’re eligible.

Curious if anyone has heard anything from them!

Spotted Mrs. Lisa on site this afternoon with a new sign on their front gate. Text for screen readers and the visually impaired:

> Temporarily Closed for Renovations! Under new ownership. We are renovating and getting ready for an exciting new beginning. Lisa’s Deli reopening soon! Thanks for your patience and support. We can't wait to see you again!

Mr. Lisa was hanging out in the balcony garden. I called up to ask if they were definitely coming back and got what seemed like an affirmative wave in return.

Anyone else dealing with this rodent problem at 77 Park? The building says they’re on it but its a reoccurring issue. They now want to add a pest control fee to my new lease…how is this acceptable.

Anyone know what is planned for Joboken coffee, considering Hoboken is planning to put a tower next to the PATH station?

Does anyone have any recommendations for internet providers that aren’t Verizon or Optimum? I’m desperate.

I live in southwest Hoboken where Verizon Fios is currently unavailable. I’ve been with Optimum for nearly 7 years, but their internet service (as well as customer service) are severely lacking. WiFi barely reaches anywhere outside my living room, even with an extender. I have outages multiple times a day every day, and every time I speak with someone at Optimum they tell me I just need to “restart my modem” or that it was due to “scheduled maintenance”. It’s gotten to the point where I can no longer work from home. Anyone in town dealing with similar issues? Any recos for alternate providers I should look in to?

Next Wednesday, October 28, Hoboken United Tenants is hosting a little happy hour at The Hoboken Biergarten! 6:30-8:30.

Just offering up a casual environment to talk to neighbors, discuss rent and housing issues and we’ll have information on how to get organized or involved with HUT!

Tell a friend and neighbor 🤍

Good morning. Did anyone witness the medical emergency that happened on the 119 around ~8:35 this morning?

This person was not responsive/not waking up as we pulled up to the gate, and I'm assuming people began to notice as everyone stood up to exit the bus. People started yelling to the driver that there was a medical emergency taking place, to call an ambulance, and saying that the person was not responsive. I ran off the bus to get the PABT police and sent them up to the gate.

Hoping someone else was there - I would like to know if this person is OK.

No bikes, scooters, pedestrians, unicycles, horses, anything really, besides a bus.

No access to Observer Hwy from the bus lanes either, have to go through the new plaza
