Anthony Zachariadis at management company TZM Realty just sent along this message to us. Management had promised to have the gas service restored today. I followed-up and asked Zachariadis if the residents will receive any kind of credit for the days in which they didn't have gas for cooking. (17 days total.) "I have been calling tenants all day to discuss that matter."

Residents of 97 E. Seventh St. haven't had gas for cooking since Feb. 19
Residents of 97 E. Seventh St. near First Avenue have joined forces after being without gas for cooking since Feb. 19. (They've also launched a Facebook page to make it easier to share information.)
In addition, one resident said that they were without gas, heat and hot water for three days starting on Feb. 19.
According to another resident:
"Management has been leaving 'updates' posted in the hallway, but everyone has been scribbling notes all over them, encouraging each other to fight back against the management. It's gotten pretty heated lately as it's become more clear that the fault lies with the management."
(The super apparently removed the older flyers in the building that contained all the comments from residents.)
In hearing about the situation from two residents, it seems as if the management company and ConEd are pointing fingers at each other over who's to blame for the 17 days without gas for cooking. One resident has said the use of unlicensed contractors led to five gas leaks in the building.
Anthony Zachariadis at management company TZM Realty didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
Meanwhile, one resident said that management promised that ConEd will have all the gas hooked back up today. Despite all this, the resident said that the management has refused to discuss rent abatement. Said another resident: "Landlord hasn't mentioned any reimbursement for food expenses or rent...I'm wondering if we will all have to go to court."
Work moves to the backside of St. Brigid's
The renovations continue at St. Brigid's on Eighth Street and Avenue B. Workers put up scaffolding on the church's backside last week...
Meanwhile, the crew continues to rebuild the church's northern wall...
Oh, and some bonus photos that I took back in early January. Don't you miss the snow?

Only just noticed this the other day under the scaffolding at Spice on Second Avenue and Sixth Street.
'You lose it here, you're in a world of hurt'
On Friday, EV Grieve Technologically Advanced Form of Extraterrestrial Life Correspondent Bobby Williams spotted the Predator from, um, "Predator" outside Tokio 7 on Seventh Street...
Perhaps the masses were getting a little too close... there's now a fence around Mr. Predator...
Remember: He's using the trees.

"Mars Needs Red Riding Hood'
Last week, DNAinfo spotted a Jesus-"Confessions of a Shopaholic" movie poster mashup on Second Avenue at Seventh Street... Apparently Poster Boy has struck again... here on First Avenue near DeRobertis, there's a "Mars Needs Moms" - "Red Riding Hood" (two movies that no one will see!) combo along with a Public Service Announcement about the benefits of reading neighborhood blogs books.
Thanks to @cultofsoc for sharing the photo.

'Crazy Landlord' back to being crazy!
Nearly two years have passed since we first noted the "crazy landlord" sign on the long-dormant corner of Second Avenue and Third Street.
Last we heard something called the Belgian was moving in... As the owner told Eater:
We've lost track of those plans. The corner has seemingly been quiet in recent months... And now, as this photo taken by EV Grieve reader Salim shows, the corner space is apparently back on the market. And the landlord just take it anymore!

Last we heard something called the Belgian was moving in... As the owner told Eater:
The large french doors will open to a wraparound sidewalk cafe sitting 40 or so under large colorful awnings. It will be romantic yet appropriate. Think a sexier Balthazar marries a corpulent Fette Sau and the offspring is The Belgian.

[Updated] Bringing 'the tradition of the old Knitting Factory and Tonic' to 34 Avenue A
Hartman sent us a note during the weekend with a few more details on the space:
I've been approached by a local music booker/promoter about helping get the old Mo's space re-opened as a music venue. His vision is to carry on the tradition of the old Knitting Factory and Tonic, and I love the idea of seeing the space revived for the use for which it was created, and to wipe out the stain that was Aces & Eights. There would also be a restaurant component on the ground floor.
My role is as an advisor and a cheerleader — I live and work within a block from there and think it would be great for the neighborhood. So, no, I'm not "re-opening Mo Pitkin's" but hopefully the spirit of that place, and of the old East Village, will be revived!
This is one of the items on the docket for the SLA & DCA Licensing Committee next Monday at 6:30 pm — JASA/Green Residence - 200 E. Fifth St. at the Bowery.
[Updated]
Patrick Hedlund at DNAinfo reports this afternoon that concert organizer Todd Patrick, aka Todd P, is also involved in the project. You can read more about Todd Patrick in this Voice profile from 2006.
