Yes, but in the condo docs he is sole trustee until 4 months after last unit sells. It sold last week, so unless he is willing to step down early, we have him for 4 more months!

The unit owners pick the trustees

I pulled up chapter 183a since it was listed in the legal docs--there are lots of sections and lots of details to read through.

One question--Property manager is currently sole trustee and there was never a contract for him being the property manager. He is the only one who has access to the bank account so how would we even fire him? I don't think we have that power?!

it’s nice when it isn’t packed but i’d just assume go to medford for italian food

Florentine cannoli at Mike’s Pastry. The one and only thing worth braving the crowds and the lines. Worth the hassle.

I bought my condo from a developer who converted a triple decker, except he didn't buy any of the units. Our docs have identical wording except that the initial board ended when one unit sold.

I think it's clear you're getting screwed. Our condo is self managed and requires almost no work. Our HOA fees are all under $200 and covers master insurance, water and sewer, common electric, and maintenance. All bills are on autopay and I monitor them.

When maintenance needs to be done one of us volunteers to take the lead and we don't get paid for that. We might each do about 30 min of "work" per quarter which usually consists of changing light bulbs, ordering items on Amazon, phone calls/emails, and being there when the maintenance person gets there. It's certainly not something that should be compensated $1500/mo.

I plan on using copper for the new work. I’m more so asking about the existing PVC work that is for the bathroom

Thank you! Honestly, we're not particularly tied to Boston, but we love the Northeast. What kind of jobs are available in Maine in the summer?

Spaghetti, cannoli, improv comedy, lobster roll

I just remembered hearing that a while back, I can't say I know more. I can't see why they wouldn't sell it but I'm not them. It'll be interesting to see if the town can force them in the end.

I don’t think it’s that simple. The city has to have a public use purpose to expropriate. If the city backs into that purpose, it’s going to get messy in court and there’s a good chance the city loses.

That doesn't make much sense. The Dealership was built in 2013 and Karla's has been abandoned for longer than that.

I agree with your impeccable taste. Neptune has the best lobster rolls in Boston.

The rugula is pretty excellent also

Same thing happened to me on 93 North near Assembly a couple years ago, except it was a traffic cone that the van in front of me ran over and sent hurtling towards my car. Fucked up my bumper pretty bad.

The year before that some kind of desk/drawer was in the road under a broken street light, around a curve in the road, also on 93 North near Assembly. That one popped my tire and destroyed my bumper.

And just last night, on Route 18 in Weymouth, some sharp object I didn't see instantly popped my tire and scraped two gouges out of my door.

Oh, the joys of driving in and around Boston!

Ah, no worries. It also depends on what you get I suppose. Haven’t been there in over a year, so maybe quality has gone down? Usually liked their chicken parm and calamari. Also their portions can be more family style, which I agree, is sort of annoying.

Def not second grader vibes at Parla. Unless they’re helping to carry you out the door 😂

Table (and Table Mercado next door), Neptune Oyster, Regina's, Mamma Maria are all excellent.

It’s like the programs are engineered to actually not help anyone unless you have a very specific situation. Basically you have to be a high earner and can afford to buy over the asking price or living below the poverty level in which case the program works just fine for you. I honestly think the limit on personal savings is downright irresponsible of them. There’s alot of shit that can go wrong and need repair when buying a house so for them to disqualify people for building up their savings is asinine.

AFAIK, PVC is against code.

You can use it...it just wont pass inspection.

Cambridge High and Latin is great.

Lower the overall price if they pay full upfront? And/or require first month right away if not

Ooooooh. Parla sounds awesome, just maybe not with my second grader! A different outing.

But we went to Famiglia Giorgio’s tonight and I have to say, eh? It was fine? Not trying to knock you - I’m thrilled if you like it. But it was exactly what I’m thinking the North End has: big plates of mediocre Italian food. Like fancyish food from the eighties everywhere. Maybe just not my cup of tea.

Giacomos (cash only and first come first serve) and la familia Giorgio’s are probably my two favs. Carmelinas is pretty good as well. For drinks I love love Parla. I wouldn’t go for a nice dinner, but Parla has this awesome dungeon crawler cocktail menu where you roll a die and they bring you special surprise drinks and you fill out a loyalty card. Can get expensive, but the drinks are great and it’s a fun little experience.
