the Green next to yale currently has a really pretty christmas tree, make sure to take pictures there. take a nice walk at long wharf & get food from food trucks! you’ll find plenty to do in one day

If you’re connected to the basement electric - does that include a shared dryer? That could be a lot of additional electric that you are paying for and even if it isn’t, technically (as I understand it) in CT, if you are paying for any electrical in a common area, your landlord owes 100% of your bill.

I’ll check those out! Thank you.

might be helpful to just walk in and talk to someone if your local to nhv instead of applying online.

I saw Gather was hiring a barista, coffee shop on state st. Also this place is hiring, coffee shop/tea store. https://newhaventea.com/join-our-team

Not doing anything at the moment. Open to most things, preferably looking to land a barista, clerk, or cashier position.

What are you looking to do/what are you good at doing?

I agree, I’m going to follow you for the next one. This is an awesome idea

Has sept fixed their service issue yet? Last time we went the place was half full and it literally still took like 30 min to get someone to even take our order.

Harvest is pretty great.

If you are doing brunch the pre-fixe is relatively cheap for the city, food and service is great and portions do not disappoint.

I think the best thing to do is get estimates for all the repairs with a start date for each. That might take some time in this economy. Mail them to your landlord return receipt requested. Include a statement that since it is the landlord’s responsibility to keep up the building, you intend bill him for the cost. When he doesn’t respond, go ahead and start them. Pay by yourselves, submit the invoices to the landlord for the completed work and tell him you will then deduct from your rent. Just keep copies of all your correspondence in case he tries to evict you. Who knows, he might be happy someone else is doing the upkeep.

…. You understand that just because a pc has a 1200W psu, it doesn’t mean it pulls anywhere near that right?

PSUs are spec’s out ideally for around 70% total capacity power draw on the reg since thats where your typical power efficiency curve peaks.

And you haven’t needed to pull that kind of power on a system unless you are 1) cryptomining or 2) running multiple flagship gpus which runs in the order of several thousand dollars in the past few years, which if OP had the liquid capital for, probably wouldn’t be renting from a slumlord with roommates.

When I used to work for kohls there were loads of high schoolers there. But the holiday season is over so you probably won't get hours. But echoing the other comments, mcdonalds, dunkin donuts etc?

Ah well okay, in all fairness that’s a bit worse than I assumed. But it still sounds like old wiring imo, from the days of far fewer appliances. Ideally, they would’ve replaced that by now, but as you can probably tell, those guys buy fixer-uppers and then never fix jack shit.

My good friend lives in one of their houses. Their furnace was locked out. The oil company wouldn’t send a contractor without authorization from the landlord, and they couldn’t get the landlord to authorize it. For fucking heat. My buddy would’ve even paid for it. Still got ghosted. Thankfully, between me and his dad, we ultimately got it working, but that just goes to show what you’ve already figured out— they’re negligent slumlords. And that’s hardly the headline when it comes to the scumbag who leads them.

Best of luck with all this. Hopefully withholding rent helps out. I doubt you’ll get anywhere when it comes to getting a basic standard of wiring, but the rest of this stuff sounds plausible.

That would be the company unfortunately. I also totally understand that the air fryer is a large draw on the circuit, my concern is that for the whole of our two floors there seem to be about two individually operating circuits, which are also connected to the basement seemingly. Of course, I’m no electrician by any means, but I feel that for two floors to share so much of the grid of a house, and for a separate grid to be cordoned off to about one room in what’s considered an “apartment” is almost malicious oversight on behalf of whoever updated the wiring (if it’s ever been). But please correct me if I’m wrong or just making incorrect assumptions here.

Two comments up:

> I wouldn’t doubt it, we live on the top two floors of a three floor Victorian and regularly trip the power with an air fryer and two desktops, so it’s been a fun year for us overall power-wise.

Sounds about consistent with my experience in a 1930s house wherein the circuits extend the full longitude of the floor. Not optimal wiring by modern standards, but I think that’s something one just has to realistically work around

Your right but did he not mention air fryer? The fact that it’s tripping when it should not means the owner needs a electrician in there.

What do you mean “so little?” It’s an air fryer. It puts out a bunch of heat to cook your food. That’s energy, and quite a bit of it. Desktop computers ain’t exactly light users, either. Gaming PCs can have PSUs as high as 1200W, that’s as much as a space heater that’ll max out a standard 15A circuit. This is expected behavior.

Furthermore, if we say for the sake of argument that there was some hypothetical wiring deficiency that would mean it can’t actually carry the current it’s rated for... your breaker wouldn’t somehow detect that and trip at some lower level of current. It only trips to prevent overcurrent protection. (I’m going to leave out the advanced tripping for ground faults and arc faults, which your old breakers probably don’t have, and which do not sound applicable to this situation.) What I’m trying to say is, it sounds like everything is working as intended.

Just out of curiosity, is your landlord one of Daniel Greer’s property management companies? (Edgewood Corners Inc, Edgewood Elm Housing Inc, Edgewood Village Inc, F.O.H. Inc, Yedidei Hagan Inc.) I only ask because those bastards own a lot of old homes, and take a very... “hands-off” approach.

I don’t know how you think a breaker works, but a cooking appliance plus multiple desktop computers drawing over 15 amps is hardly out of the ordinary. And the breaker has no damn clue how good or bad the wiring is when it trips.
