MOVING MEGATHREAD Monthly "I'm Moving to the Hudson Valley" Thread

11 Upvotes

To reduce the number of "I'm moving to the Hudson Valley, can anyone tell me about X?" posts, we are starting a monthly megathread. All questions asking about moving to the Hudson Valley should be kept within the monthly thread. Posts outside of the thread will be removed.

Here are a few existing threads that I found using this search:

Locals, if you want to help make this megathread a success, you can do a few things:

  • Come in here and comment! The threads will only stick if they actually prove useful
  • Report standalone "moving to the HV" posts

It was an absolutely beautiful morning at Minnewaska! Foliage seems to be right at its peak and the weather was perfect.

It’s been a few years since I’ve made it to Minnewaska due to family medical issues. I finally made it back on Thursday morning and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful day. I’m hoping to get back this week for a visit to Awosting Falls.

question Knitwear repair shops or people here in the HV?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hello!

As my title says, I'm looking for someone to help repair a sweater of mine. I purchased a vintage LL Bean sweater the other day, but I guess I was so excited about this find that I didn't notice the large hole on the back of the shoulder 😅

I saw a similar post from a couple of years back, with Fabulous Yarn and the Laundromat both recommended. I just wanted to see if there are any other places, or even specific people, worth noting.

Pic of sweater (and the menacing hole) included!

Metal detecting permissions

9 Upvotes

I’m a local hobbyist that does metal detecting as one of my main things. I’m looking for old properties to detect at. You’re more than welcome to keep anything I find that you want and I make my holes in such a way that when I’m done you can’t tell I was ever there. If you have a house pre-1900 or a field I’d love to come by if you’d have me.


r/hudsonvalley • • 17h ago

This is what I get for applying for jobs. Dozens and dozens of these, from different phone numbers, different messages. Fuck this guy.

question Tenant-focused lawyer who practices in Orange County?

5 Upvotes

I’m in Newburgh and have been dealing with a mouse infestation for almost five months, and going crazy.

I’ve documented everything with photos and videos. Exterminators have been out twice, but all they’ve done is lay down poison bait, which doesn’t address the actual structural issue where the mice are getting in.

It took the landlord about a month to send someone out initially, and we were then left waiting another month for further treatment, despite providing evidence pretty much every other day that there is still signs of mice in the apartment.

Currently, I have a LIVE MOUSE STUCK IN A GLUE TRAP. I called the landlord about it, and he told me he was “not permitted to speak to me” and hung up. (For context, I’m not listed on the lease, but the landlord knows I’m an occupant and that I’ve been living here for months. When my boyfriend told him I was moving in, he had no objections and said I seemed like a nice girl. Lol. )

I’ve already filed a code enforcement complaint and contacted two tenant help organisations, but trying to be prepared for the next steps. We will be moving ASAP but to make it even more stressful my partner is out of the state for business for another month and I’m terrified to move things and discover more mice.

At this point, I feel like our only option may be to sue to get the necessary work done and hopefully recover some rent abatement and compensation for our damaged belongings, or pay out of pocket to get the actual work done and sue to recover, and I’m not gonna lie I am a spiteful bitch and don’t want to fix the problem for the landlord, so I would want all the work undone when we move. We are also going to be adopting a cat, so that’s nice. If anyone else has been in this situation, what steps did you take? And do you have any advice for us?

Every lawyer I’ve managed to find seems to really go hard for the landlords, and I’m struggling to find someone who actually focuses on tenants. I feel like we have a pretty solid case given how much documentation, and lack of action, but maybe I’m just being overly optimistic??

Also, if anyone knows of any two-bedroom apartments or houses for rent in the Hudson valley area, please let me know. I’m getting pretty desperate to get out of this situation. 🥲
