more domestic woes

There's an open AP visible from the edge of my studio! More so from the fire escape, and it's leafy out there. Will not go INSANE in the intervening month-or-so before DSL will get properly hooked up

I think wash-n-fold is perhaps $not_cheap but is far thriftier for your sanity than dealing with an NYC laundromat.

Seriously, other than a couple of good ones i can recommend in Harlem, i'd rather gouge my eyes out than deal with it. Even then, wash-n-fold is tempting by comparison.

(In case you're curious, since i know you are, and today seems to be Give Legal Answers Day anyways, i might as well explain why laundry hours in NYC tend to be so bloody inconvenient. Of course, we know how well some NYC laws are enforced, but attended laundromats at night are SRS BZNS. By the power of Greyskull New York City Public Law § 20-296 at (f), All coin-operated and customer-activated laundries shall be required to have on the premises an attendant from 8:00 P.M. until closing or 6 A.M. the following day, whichever is earlier. In other words, it makes being open 24/7 kinda unprofitable, though there are a few 24-hour laundromats in NYC. (There's a great one on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, and there used to be one at 143rd and Lenox but gentrification was all "no, you can't have nice things, Harlem.") This is also why your building probably doesn't have a laundry, or it closes at 8 sharp...that applies to in-building laundries, too.

Oh, interesting. I was wondering why laundry times were so heavily enforced at the corp. apartment... they locked the doors at the end of the posted hours. Felt a bit nannyish of them.

The one at 89th and 1st is 24-hour and looks very shiny, but I'm not sure it would actually be much of a savings.

Yeah, the fine's pretty bad. My BFFE's apartment building got the shit fined out of it for letting someone stay in there 30 minutes late...and one of the particularly annoying, uptight tenants ratted out the building.

$2500 and a 5-day license suspension later...
