Fire at 1st & Jackson
Dr. Zaklama Dead
Found out today that the infamous Dr. Esmat Zaklama had passed away today.
He was known for his questionable capabilities as a landlord in Hoboken and beyond. He was the one that owned the Nardine’s building at 1st & Jackson that burnt to the ground a year ago.
Wonder what will happen with all the problems he left behind?
Here’s a video of him protesting some religious nonsense a couple years ago:

Nardine’s burns to the ground in Hoboken, NJ
At around 8am this morning, a raging fire toasted the building at the corner of 1st & Jackson streets in Hoboken.
This building is the old Nardine’s that the controversial Dr. Zaklama was involved with.

lady dc01 I agree with you entirely..I said rumor for I was told by one who may have been incorrect..contrare..there is .A captain and two privates ride the engines.One was removed over 18 years ago..Former Capt Bergin fought to no advail to keep that extra guy/on but politices reared it’s ugly head even at that time.Captains test or not there are only 19 captains from 32 due to attrition, and maybe 68 privates ballbark figure..Captains are said to at times working doubles.Rumor or not if so thats unhealthy The key is this town is not Crab Apple Grove,and do you agree elected leaders govern but do not rule..? You bet your socks that north hudson responded as mutual aid for 4 houses total complement consist of less that 30 firefighters..

lacyc01 yes understaffed..If you recall one time there were four riding on a rig .That extra fireman was removed ..Captain bergin retired fought till he was blue in the face that the extra man was needed..this was 20 years ago…What i ment by the rumor is I kind of feared to consider the source..Its not a rumor ..North hudson may have came in to assist on a 3 alarm..Usually 25 firefighters work one shift..If a hit comes in before 8am they go out as well..If their lucky they get relieved upon the on coming shift.Yes understaffed..Keep in mind hoboken is not Crab Apple Grove..with 19,000 people and a police force of 50 or more and a canine unit..this is a city of over 50,000 people.lacy your on the money.

home team..i missed that sarcastic comment.Your a new kid on the block .Get off your keyboard and cut the research nonsense.facts figures stats do not supress a fire.What many of us bnr witnessed was reality..Inspectors do not fight fires. btw try and get off the bong ..Your incorrect..the HFD is understaffed..One does not have to be an inspector to see how quick the bldg lit up..Another zimmerette as usual .This so called expert wittingham should do some research on the 53 dead since 1982..Fact is understaffed..It’s not an argument but your refusal to grasp the obvious.UNDERSTAFFED.

I’m surprised this place did not burn down years ago…..dozens of health and fore code violations and the place was completely uninhabitable. No doubt an arson for easy insurance payout!

Lol! You do have a comprehension problem because you keep using what I wrote incorrectly. You seem to be comparing the case of a wrongfully executed man, due to outdated training and scientific study by fire inspectors, as support for cutting firefighters. If you did know how to read, you would realize that I am not a supporter of the mayor and would have understood what I had typed. Vodka on your Cherrios is not the best jump start to your day there sir.

He’s had a ‘For Rent’ sign on the burnt out shell for almost a year and now the tarps, or so-called “asbestos remediation”, covering the roof have begun to blow away. His property across the street has become a living art tribute to the garbage that washed in during Sandy.

I hear that. When is the city going to condemn this eyesore of a property? I live right near there and there has been no work done on that property since the fire. What is the city waiting for? When it finally collapses into a pile of rubble?
