Our landlord, BLACKSTONE, can't handle Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village. There is a lack of enforcement of certain "rules," and no amount of notice to this alleviates the problems. We are continually being told half-truths and fabrications. And we have no viable Tenants organization, despite our TA asking for dues all the time. So far, the politicians have proven to be basically useless. A typical New York story.

Every $60 Counts
If you are losing money, the way Tishman Speyer is with Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village, every $60 counts very dearly.
Now, I think we should offer competitive pricing. I'm willing to clean for $55. Do I hear $50?
That's called a come on ad. You hire them for $60 , and when they are about to leave without cleaning bedroom they hit you up for another $60 per bedroom.Typical Tishman Speyer sleazy move.
I think it doesn't include bedrooms because in some apartments there are many "bedrooms" thanks to the dividing walls that have been put up to convert 1-bedrooms into two (or three!), etc., and in those apartments the "living room" is probably as small as the bathroom! They may not think that people with real full-size living rooms (rs tenants and non-dormies) would be interested in hiring them.

How come the $60 doesn't include bedrooms?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever heard of such a thing?
It's like getting your car washed and having
them leave out the tires and windshield.

ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone even CONTEMPLATE letting any of these people into their homes?
ReplyDeleteI don't care what it costs.
I can clean my own toilet. I live in it, why shouldn't I clean it?!?
