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.
Saw the office construction this morning. Workers discussing problems. They cut down more healthy large trees. Site is littered with construction trash. Big messy problematic destruction.
Here's the BEST PART OF THE 1% increase that no one speaks of. It does not include your a/c charges. So if you're current rent (mine) is $3425 you're new rent is $3425 + 34 + 65 (a/c).
An additional $99 per year.
NOT 1% in effect and BS. CAn't wait for the 4 to 5%.
Tax incentives for Developers hurts New Yorkers twice over and is completely unnecessary.
Developers don't need tax incentives. The business is too lucrative to walk away so they will never walk away. time to seriously decrease or say no more tax incentives for Politician's buddies. Taxpayers are losing their homes to and subsidizing luxury condo development while Developers brag job creation (despite underpaying construction workers and using nonunion). New Yorkers are getting screwed every which way by the city and state hurting our tax revenue by giving big breaks to wealthy developers who don't need it.
In Manhattan, new development sponsor sales jumped up 13.3 percent since 1Q of 2014, with 333 sponsor units sold, up from 294. Upper Manhattan is again proving to be a booming real estate market with 17 percent of all new development sales having taken place in Harlem — the most in the borough.
Total sales volume for new development were up 43.6 percent in the 2Q, jumping from $763.6 million in the 1Q of 2014 to $1.1 billion in the 2Q.
The City of New York has been a forceful innovator in its use of real estate tax incentives to both encourage the new construction of housing and ensure the renovation of its existing older housing stock.
Despite the success of these strategies, they have been criticized in recent years for giving away too much to some projects, not addressing some of the emerging needs of the existing housing stock, and hurting the City’s ability to collect much needed taxes.
If a larger number of tenants (greater than the membership of the TA) come together is there a way to have access to the kitty to pay a fee to Mr Guterman?
How much have tenants paid Paul Weiss and Moelis & company since 2010?
How happy / unhappy are tenants having followed the direction of Paul Weiss and Moelis & company for four years that has seen massive evictions, massive property destruction for commercialization, massive dorm housing?
Please IT people tell me where I can post what happened to us with LL on line. Tried Yelp and it never shows up. Where do most people read reviews for nyc flats now? This place and LL is bad. Very bad.
The Guterman approach seems to only have positives for ALL residents. Its the only approach that addresses diminished quality of life and jacked up purchase price CW / Compass Rock Brookfield / Moelis et al did with the commercialization of our open spaces and Oval, NYU dorms that evicted both long-term rent stabilizers and market rate long-term families.
We've seen TA Brookfield / Moelis / CW / Compass Rock aligned since 2010.
We don't yet know if de Blasio will change his position to a new one that will address Residents ailments laid out in the Guterman approach.
Most uncertainty on de Blasio's position comes from his administrations close ties to Moelis and NYU we've read of in the comments on this blog and in the press.
Which agenda will he chose CW/Compass Rock Brookfield/ TA/Moelis NYU
or
Middle Class Residential Community Constituents
Let's hope he chooses middle class community who shook his hand when campaigning her and voted for him.

Got it, now. Outside of the blogs and Facebooks, there's only Yelp and Google Reviews that I'm familiar with. Yelp will accept your reviews, but it does bounce a number out of main viewing, though they are still available to be read. Google Reviews does not bounce reviews from what I've seen.
Comments have to await approval by the administrator of this blog to be published. Comments that insult another commentator, or that cross a line the administrator is not comfortable with, will not get approved.
So that the concert will get rained out?? Here's hoping!

I think that dance will work, too, Edmund.
ReplyDeleteHate the music but would rather have a legitimate lease here with a place my family and I can afford. Not fair.

Rates on rents given is completely false. They do not include several charges and are grossly inflated after only 1 year.

The Future of Real Estate Tax Incentives
The City of New York has been a forceful innovator in its use of real estate tax incentives to both encourage the new construction of housing and ensure the renovation of its existing older housing stock.
Despite the success of these strategies, they have been criticized in recent years for giving away too much to some projects, not addressing some of the emerging needs of the existing housing stock, and hurting the City’s ability to collect much needed taxes.
who do i call about lease renewal rate? It is totally wrong in calculations. Have called ST, no one calls back.
ReplyDeleteA Few Questions.
ReplyDeleteThe TA has how many members?
How much money is in the kitty?
If a larger number of tenants (greater than the membership of the TA) come together is there a way to have access to the kitty to pay a fee to Mr Guterman?
How much have tenants paid Paul Weiss and Moelis & company since 2010?
How happy / unhappy are tenants having followed the direction of Paul Weiss and Moelis & company for four years that has seen massive evictions, massive property destruction for commercialization, massive dorm housing?
Where do tenants want to direct the kitty?
Is PCVST now condos?
ReplyDeleteThe PCVST facebook page says we are condos. Which buildings are those?
6:39 It does not say this. Stop posting this.
ReplyDeleteI guess rain would have been better than Ezra!
ReplyDeleteIt does say that, but it is misleading because it is running an ad for a different property. The web designer is an idiot.
ReplyDeletePlease IT people tell me where I can post what happened to us with LL on line. Tried Yelp and it never shows up. Where do most people read reviews for nyc flats now? This place and LL is bad. Very bad.
ReplyDeleteI'm lost. LL?

Google reviews are where? I googled and don't see it. Ha.ha.
ReplyDeleteIs Lady Maya still organizing events like these and the 'kegels for kids' classes?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Lady Maya recently, but I wasn't at the concert events. Certainly her presence has been lessened this year.
ReplyDeleteNot positive, but I don't think that Lady Maya is here any longer.
