  6. Looking into a basement apartment? NYC proposes new safety rules. - Gothamist GOTHAMIST.COM Experts say that without proper implementation, new rules for basement and cellar units could push... Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of New Yorkers live in basement and cellar apartments, according to research by universities and nonprofits. And yet, many of these units are illegal, largely because they pose risks to tenants during fires or floods. In 2021, when the remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped more than 8 inches of rain onto some parts of New York City, 11 people died in flooded basement apartments. At the same time, the city is in the grips of a housing crisis, and outlawing underground dwellings might only exacerbate the problem. That's why city officials proposed new rules for basement units late last week as part of an ongoing effort to keep residents safe without placing a heavy burden on homeowners to make their buildings compliant. If approved, the rules for what the city calls "ancillary dwelling units" would introduce an array of safety regulations, including a prohibition on basement and cellar apartments in flood-prone areas. Owners would also have to live in the buildings where the apartments are located. New regulations are also being proposed for other types of units, including attics and backyard cottages. The city defines basement units as dwellings that are more than halfway above curb level and cellar units as dwellings that are more than halfway below curb level. Under the proposed rules, any cellar unit would have to be equipped with two exits and an automatic sprinkler system. Yards or any other adjacent open spaces must be at least 6 inches lower than any window sills in a unit.

  11. Rick Springfield Calls Out ‘Today Show' Co-Host For Yawning During Interview: ‘Am I Boring You?' The singer was promoting his upcoming I Want My 80s tour with John Waite, Wang Chung, Paul Young and John Cafferty. Saw him in concert at the Brendan Byrne arena at the Meadowlands in NJ and at the Syracuse War Memorial, where the opening act was Harry Chapin's brother Tom. I found him attractive, but it was just about his albums for me... his singles were fine but I loved the other songs on his albums. Spent about an hour jumping around on youtube about a week ago, as a matter of fact. My sister had his first album, with songs about fun subjects like infidelity, lost love, God, and suicide. Just another teen heartthrob...

  15. I noticed the other day that it's been 2+ months since @WilliamM posted. I sent him an email Saturday asking if he's okay, but no reply so far.
  16. Didn't know she was still alive. She was 87.
  17. This girl is a woman now... And she's found out what it's all about... And she's learning... Learning to live. NOPE... never heard of them.
  18. My license expires next month. Last time I renewed they just used the previous picture from when I was at my absolute heaviest. The upside of that is that whenever anyone has seen my license in the past sixteen years I have gotten a compliment about my weight loss (which was initially 105 pounds, which was mostly gained back for a bit but has been about 65 less than the pic for a few years).
  19. Finished it in two days and enjoyed it.

  22. A Brooklyn-based artist has created a vibrant mural for an affordable housing residence near JFK Airport. Muralist Danielle Mastrion painted a massive 13-story mural flanking the front-facing sides of the soon-to-open Baisely Pond Park Residences, the city’s first hotel-to-affordable-housing conversion. Mastrion began the mural in June and completed it on July 1. It is now visible from the Belt Parkway and in flight paths out of JFK. The project is produced by the NYC nonprofit ArtBridge, which specializes in transforming underused spaces and active construction sites into public art. “At ArtBridge, we believe public art should emerge from the neighborhoods it lives in,” said Jon Souza, program director at ArtBridge. “This mural reflects that ideal — it was shaped by local voices and inspired by the textures of everyday life in Queens. Projects like this one remind us that art in public space can do more than beautify — it can listen, honor, and reflect.
