Landlord hell

As owners of commercial property, my family and I have had to deal with the obstacles of understanding and complying with new regulations designed to boost income. We have come across unclear notifications and struggled to communicate effectively through unreturned phone calls and emails, as emphasized in Kenny Burgos’ April 7 piece “Will Bronx Burn Again?”.

We followed court procedure that went on for nine months in order to legally evict a tenant whose business was open and operating, but stopped paying rent and other charges.

Then we received a Judgement for Possession. You may believe we could walk into the premises we own, change the locks and try to rent the space, right? Wrong. Now the wait for a warrant for the marshal to begin that process, and the estimate is five to six months to get a signature for a warrant.

Could anyone last over a year with no revenue? I think not. The law-breaking person (the tenant), gets rewarded over and over, and the law-abiding landlord gets screwed.

Empire Wind woes

With a three-column listing of the damage that will be caused by this Empire Wind offshore project, how can it be given the green light to proceed (“Danger at Sea,” Bonnie Brady, April 11)?

I am all for smart energy but not at the cost of decimating our oceans. Even just as horrendous as mentioned in this eye-opening article, whales are permanently deafened by turbines and the process of installing them.

I realize we need progress. but not at the cost of innocent ocean lives.

No-stop insanity

Not content with kneecapping police with pro-criminal bail laws and revolving-door justice, our Albany legislative geniuses now want to prevent officers from stopping and or searching drivers over such issues as busted headlights or taillights, cracked windshields, missing plates, window tinting and other motor-vehicle violations (“Critics slam bill banning cop stops,” April 7).

Legal car stops prevent crime and enhance safe driving. And of course the reason offered for this proposed bill is that police are racially biased. If police ignore these type of violations, you can be sure the safety of the public will be at risk.

RIP, Bob McManus

I was very sorry to hear about the death of Bob McManus (“Post’s ‘voice’ passes at 81,” April 6).

His columns were models of intellectually rigorous, commonsensical approaches to whatever issue he tackled.

His humaneness was always discernible within the tough-minded exterior, so the reader knew that he or she was getting neither impractical hot air nor cynical posturing.

It must’ve been a great privilege to share office space with him. I sense that he was a true stalwart in these dark days for print journalism. A true professional, and a whole lot more. May he rest in peace.

Take back Title IX

Meghan McCain is spot-on as it relates to trans athletes competing in women’s sports (“Can’t transcend this,” April 4).

It matters little about the number of cases; the integrity of women’s sports has and will forever be changed without the backing of McCain and other high-profile supporters.

Huge strides were made in the 1960s to start the process of women gaining access and scholarships for organized sports on a collegiate level. This ultimately lead to Title IX in 1972. So, here we are, 58 years later, on the brink of sabotaging all that was gained for women in sports.
