The ever-dedicated lady of our Community board’s Transportation Committee, Karen Nieves, has brought a couple of items to my attention.

Calyer Cooze notes (in regards to this post):

And here’s the latest Craigslist ad! Nausea, indeed. http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/abo/3003528111.html (As seen above, for posterity)

On that note, I had a very interesting bit of information brought to my attention. That being:

239 Banker Street does not have an a Certificate of Occupancy for a hotel. Thus the question becomes why are they being taxed as such? Anyone who cares to take up this interesting discrepancy can (and should) do so by clicking here.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Skimmed?

An anonymous tipster writes:

Hey Heather,

Thought I’d give you a heads up- someone installed a skimmer on the door card reader for the Greenpoint HSBC branch.  My card was copied, and someone took $1000 out of my account (not that I had $1000, but now I have $850 overdrafted and am missing $150).  One of the workers at the branch said it happened last Sunday, and I just today got the call from the fraud department.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know, if you wanted to post up on NYS just in case other people have been scammed 🙁

Thanks as always for the intrepid reporting! 🙂

Yikes! Exercise caution, folks. You can get some tips on how to spot “skimmers” by clicking here.
