Reply to Opinions on potential rent: is 4500 before utilities too much for new construction, 3b 1.5ba, 1 car garage, quiet st in great neighborhood (central Lawrenceville) too much? What is your estimate on utilities (heat and electricity) for such a size? New to town here, would love your input. by prenzlauerallee3

4.5k monthly most anywhere in Pittsburgh is absurd. Beyond absurd. Emphasis.

If you want furnished, that's a niche market of rental, so whatever, I guess. "Central Lawrenceville" quiet what?

To answer your question regarding utilities, it's impossible to infer or deduce without knowing the structure itself.

Reply to comment by TomAto314 in I got cut off by a taxi driver last week. I was walking through town today and I saw him at the back of the queue at the taxi rank. I got in the first taxi in the queue and said "How much to the station ?" "$5" said the driver. "And how much for a blow job ?" I asked him. by AdeptLengthiness8886

Honestly, the only way it's funny as-is if it's written that he's "blowing past" the other taxis.

Amazing no one has picked up on that!

Not true - I called 4 weeks ago when my '21 refund appeared in my USPS daily digest, but didn't show up for the next 3 days prior to calling. I got a hold and time updates for like 20 minutes before speaking to a person.

That person told me I'd have to wat 30 days and call back for the state to issue a stop-payment and new check. Called 5 times today - same as O.P.s tale.

I'm a Realtor, and would happy to review all the parameters with you and offer my advice for resolution.

Not offering services for payment. I get off on this stuff, and I couldn't legally anyway!

Zoning code often gives "officers" broad leeway. It's a reality that, despite the 4th amendments extension to the curtilage of your land, it is easily circumvented. Don't consider the 4th amendment to protect anything but your actual buildings.

But if you are within 30 days and can even document it, go make some noise - bc if that is the case, this is abuse of authority, and there's a statute for that in that e360 as well.

Here's a fun one:

Fences exceeding 4ft are prohibited by Harrisburg and surrounding counties/associations. Those 4 ft fences must be able to support the weight of a 150 lb man.

It's a blanket statement about expecting either kids or police to be screwin around on your fence. The former I get - the latter disturbs me. However, one isn't going to find many uniformed/equipped 150 lb police officers. That's a rarity, I'm sure.

Realtor here. Go over here, look up your property, and see the assessment value (Market Value). http://www2.county.allegheny.pa.us/RealEstate/Search.aspx If you don't have documentation from the purchase showing the assessment value at that time, contact the Realtor that sold you the home to discover. It's late 2022, so we're approaching the 7 year holding deadline of torching data, which is upsetting on many levels.

MY guess is that you bought a $400-$450k home that was previously assessed around $100k. Or you bought a $250k that was assessed under $50k w less than 10% down. *I'm ignoring mortgage rates since you stated it was NOT an A.R.M.

Irrespective of my guess, you have research to do regarding Allegheny County property assessments during the last 7 years. It is a valid inquiry to determine that your property was NOT reassessed 18% higher than it should have been. The baseline used was 82% of sales price, and that percentage has been reduced in the last few months to 64%.

It's worth your time to investigate this further. https://www.publicsource.org/allegheny-county-property-tax-appeal-assessment-lawsuit-unbalanced/

Finally, I discovered a friends' property was current on recent years, but delinquent on one year 3 years earlier. Turned out their mortgage company hadn't received notification of re-assessment the year it was performed, or had and it was rejected by intake for whatever reason, and then the subsequent bills were processed properly. At any rate, he was delinquent, but it hadn't reached the profit/loss CBA of being handed off to collections. Sub 200k.

If you don't have the Homestead Exclusion (primary residence only, nationwide in the USA), apply for that as soon as possible.

Disciplined or Terminated - those are the employers' sole options. Discipline means "write-up/ speech", Terminate is obvious. There is no punishment, in terms of forfeited wage, altered schedules, or reduced hours. Those would be true labor issues to consult a lawyer over. Exempt employees are salaried persons - so as long as you're hourly, it's your bet to wager whether you'll lose the job <immediately> or not. Generally speaking, in this scenario, you're needed by the employer. THAT being said, let's assume they hang on to you until after the busy season, and then terminate based on some other reason (bc the OT refusal would NOT hold up in court at that point) - Go back to the discipline part now - be very careful what you sign, acknowledge, or disagree with.

Tread lightly.
