RE: [UC] question for landlords
I'd love to know if most landlords require tenants to have liability insurance for tenants who have dogs. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sarah Scheckter Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 4:25 PM To: Sarah Scheckter Cc: univcity@list.purple.com Subject: [UC] question for landlords Hi, landlords/property owners, What would you do if you had a tenant whose dog bit someone while they were renting from you? Would you ask the tenant to leave in order to limit your liability? Would you ask the person to get rid of the dog? I'm curious about what a landlord might do in order to avoid being held liable for allowing a tenant whose dog has a history of biting. Thanks for your input, Sarah (By the way, this is a hypothetical situation, not one that has actually happened to me)! You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

[UC] I don't mind if the people directly impacted by it don't
The DP had a little more about the conversion of 4200 Pine St to condos, today. Here's what it said: Senior Vice President for Facilities and Real Estate Services Omar Blaik briefed the Facilities and Campus Planning Committee on westward campus developments -- namely, the conversion of 4200 Pine St. to condominiums and the revamping of 40th and Chestnut streets.Most recently utilized as office space, the building at 4200 Pine St. will be converted into 30 condominiums, helping to advance the University's goal of increasing home-ownership in the area. It seems to me that adding 30 families to the parcel in question ought to get the folks in the 4200 blocks of Pine and Osage fairly uncomfortable. Even though the property has parking lot, this means more traffic and more of what people seem to raise as objections every time someone other than the 800-lb gorilla wants to get zoning a zoning change that increases density. And, of course, I'm still wondering why the Spruce Hill Community Association, which zealously opposes every application to the Zoning Board submitted by one of us in the great unwashed masses, hasn't held rallies to oppose this change. Maybe the people who purport to represent the community know which side of the bread is buttered and who's doing the buttering. Dittofor all the people who get emotional about the historic district nomination. The building in question is in the nomination as "significant." (Not that there's anything you could really call "historic" about it -- an architect nobody ever heard of let's hear it for Horace Trumbauer!; built in 1904 but modified in '47, '61, '62, and '71; paid for by Charles Eisenlohr whose claim to fame was that he was rich (a cigar maker?) for his daughter Marie. The style, in case anyone's interested, is French Renaissance -- which, of course, has nothing to do with the architectural "fabric" of the Victoriana the preservation zealots seem to want to protect. Al Krigman(Left of Ivan Groznyj) PS: Don't you just love the doublespeak by Omar Blaik? "... increasing home-ownership in the area" would seem to connote buying rental properties and converting them back to owner-occupancy (an objective I consider economically unsound in most cases, but favor in principle if that's what market forces induce). But converting an institutional building that's got relatively light use -- and, even then, during the day when the neighborhood is otherwise fairly lightly-burdened -- to condos for 30 families, is something else entirely. Even if they are "small families," as reported previously (a diverse community like ours certainly ought to be able to welcome whatever the politically-correct term for "midgets" is today).

Re: [UC] Co-op Heating Oil

I got much better service, and at slightly cheaper prices. Their number is 610-353-6500. Best!

[UC] LOST CAT; white, Blue Eyes near 47th Springfield
Hi all, Our cat Sapphire dissappeared Tuesday after walking my husband John to the corner of 47th and Springfield. She's an indoor/outdoor cat and a good climber and mouser. She's been through three collars in the past two years and currently has none. I suspect someone has taken her in because she has never gone farther than the corner before Tuesday. We live at 1012 S. 47th in the middle of the block. Our nine year old son Sam has already been through the deaths of our two old-timers, Toodles and Mimi. He will be devastated if we don't get her back. She has bright blue eyes and is all white with light orange markings on her ears and tail. Please call 215-519-2950 if you have seen her.
