The Northern 2 and Goose Property Management

I saw a post in here from August about issues with move in at the Northern 2, but I was wondering if anyone had more recent experience with the building or the property management company?

There are some points in the lease I am concerned about but it doesn't seem like management is willing to alter it.

House-sitting in LIC for a handful of days next weekend and looking for some…

Inexpensive or free things to do where I can potentially meet some nice people my age. Not from the city but have been here a few times. Mid 30s, active and mindfulness-based lifestyle. Not looking for hookups, just good conversation. What are the spots?

Thanks!

Part-time jobs

I’m an international student living in Long Island city. I’m looking for any part-time jobs around Long Island City or online I can do for cash as extra income while I’m a student.

I have 5 years of experience in marketing / operations management / event planning and F&B. I’ve also done dog sitting, dog boarding and baby sitting. Any leads would be welcome! Thank you!

Marathon Sunday

Does anybody know which road will be closed for the NY Marathon on Sunday? And if so, is there anyway we can cross it or are we completely blocked? I live in Hunters Point by the Pepsi Cola sign, so curious if I’m locked in that area.

Thanks!

As you may have read in the news, our neighbor Amanda Servedio was killed last week while on her way home from the weekly Bike & Brew ride by a truck fleeing a high speed police chase in Astoria. There is a Vigil and Memorial Ride tomorrow at 6:30 for Amanda. You all are invited to join the community to advocate for change.

Amanda loved the Long Island City waterfront, so the ride will be going through Long Island City.

Packard square?

Hi! I’m moving into my first NYC apartment and found a unit in Packard Square 41-34 crescent street. Since it’s my first apartment, you can imagine I’m going into a deep dive about the apartment. I feel a little iffy about the unit seeing all the negative reviews, but recognize that only people with negative experiences would’ve written a review. Can someone here offer their insight or share what it was like? My unit isn’t rent stabilized and it’s a studio. I am someone who would love sunlight but i feel a little unsure if the unit will get it. I have a kitchen island which is great but also confused as to where the bed would go. Thank you in advance!

My Other option is a studio in 45-40 TFC but it’s $200 more expensive. Please help!!

PSA: Early voting started today and runs through November 3. Go vote!

Go find your early voting location, hours, and sample ballots at this link.

I suspect the early voting location for many in this sub will be at 1 Court Square, Long Island City, NY 11101, but check before you go to confirm.

There was a great turnout today when I went to vote. Suffice to say, this is an important election, so please don't sit this one out.
