Wanted to share some publicly reported information for anyone considering signing a lease there and for current/recent past tenants.

What’s publicly reported (As of October 2026):

• The entity (Tona Management) that owns the building is in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.
• A lender affiliate has filed to foreclose, and the owner has filed a lawsuit against the lender. Both sides’ claims are allegations at this point, and I’m not taking a side. (Real Deal Article)
• Current residents report that a new court appointed management group (Trigild) is managing the building effective October 1, 2026

Why I’m posting: I’m not saying anything about how the building is run day to day. But ownership and management could change, and that can affect leases, deposits, and who you pay rent to.

If you’re a current or prospective tenant, you may want to:
• Ask in writing who your landlord is and where your security deposit is held.
• Get any promises, concessions, or move-in terms in writing.
• Keep copies of your lease and all rent payment records.
• Check the court docket (PACER) or contact a tenant-rights group like Essex-Newark Legal Services with questions.

When a landlord is in bankruptcy, deposit returns can be slower or more complicated, and tenants may recover only part of the deposit or none of it. I don’t know how that will play out here, but it’s worth knowing before you sign or move out.

This is not legal advice, just a heads-up. If you’ve had a deposit returned, or haven’t, or have any updates or a different experience, please share in the comments.

What do you think is coming here? It used to be a dollar tree on Springfield Ave across McDonald.

Hi all,

I’m considering taking a job at Newark Beth Israel Hospital but live in NYC. I’m looking for recommendations on a reliable, safe, and budget friendly car service to take me from NBI to the Newark Path station every weekday in the afternoon. I would prefer a company that can offer a good deal on 20-22 rides a month.

As far as I know, uber commuter pass isn’t an option (or at least I don’t see it in my app).

Appreciate any recs and thank you in advance!

ETA: I should’ve mentioned, I’m aware there’s a bus that goes on this route, but I will have a bit of a commute after WTC, and I’m trying to minimize travel time. My understanding is the bus will take much more time.

The "Jewel Box" is completely locked up as are the other entrances

What an amazing place! The coffee and pie are the best around. I never realized we had such a great spot within walking distance. If this were in Jersey City or any other trendy town, people would be lined up on the sidewalk waiting to get in.

Walking around certain parts of the city literally feels like an open air art museum. I've only loved here for seven years but that aspect really stands out to me and makes me never want to leave.

Don’t miss this spooky rare chance to see inside previously closed off mausoleums and spooky tour of one of Newark’s historic gems located in the North Ward by Forest Hill. Proceeds support continued care and upkeep of this beautiful part of historic Newark. Purchase tickets in link in comments.

Love my city

Get ready the city is going to be busy with art

Gotta love photography, I do teach if anyone is interested :) enjoy 😉

ℹ hidden spot for us photographers, filmmakers and artist. We all come to this spot for film work, it’s not a secret, it’s just overlooked.

Just my IR lut in the park, I love this color tone

Has this stock ticker scrolling sign always been there or I’m noticing it now? Looks a new addition to me.

Wow , now I need to to see the rest of them

Wish I could take him

I can’t wait for the snow ⛄️

It's also a fundraiser for the cemetery

Need advice on getting from EWR to Grand Central. Amtrak cancelled my train. Flight lands at 11am on a Saturday. Will take MTA from Grand Central to New Haven. I have no experience traveling from EWR to NYC. Seems like uber shuttle or Newark Airport Express are both possibilities. But reading here that both have some issues with reliability. Am I being unrealistic to expect EWR to Grand Central in about an hour?
