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.

It's a Small World After All
(Hat tip to a Stuy Town Report reader and commentator for the alert.)
Is brookfield the same brookfield that wants the place COOPed?
So confused here STR ---- Posters need to be more specific if they want support or understanding of what 's going on here. some of us are slow, some of us are old.
The TA and its so called leadership of ex-President Marsh and newly anointed Queen Susan Steinberg are vile, corrupt and totally in bed with ownership and management. Indeed why didn't the TA call attention to this? Is it just incompetence or something more nefarious?. Hmmmmmmmm...
It is the same Brookfield that partnered with Dan. Brookfield and Tishman pretend to be rivals while they move money between them, move employees between them, move properties between them and give each other awards at REBNY events.
"Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. is a Canadian asset management company that manages a global portfolio of total assets under management of more than $200 billion, invested on behalf of clients.[8] The firm's assets are concentrated in property, renewable power, infrastructure and private equity.[8]
Over the next century, the company expanded and it is now an owner and operator of approximately $200 billion of real assets, with 24,000 employees in over 100 offices in 20 different countries.[3] The company's major public subsidiaries include Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners, Brookfield Property Partners, Brookfield Canada Office Properties, Brookfield Incorporações, Brookfield Office Properties, Brookfield Residential Properties Inc., Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, and Brookfield Real Estate Services."
Another death DOB fines are cost of doing business. Certainly not stopping recklessness at construction sites. DOB has zero credibility, zero respect, zero authority from developers.
They don't want it coop-ed; they want it condo-ed. It would be a big windfall for Garodnick and his lawyer pals. Won't do anything for the tenants except for making them pay through the nose.
Of course Dan allowed the Oval Tree Massacre saying it was "legal" for his REBNY partner Brookfield who did the construction of the "for members only" student campus amenities that turned our once all inclusive friendly community into a "have" and "have nots" community with "for members only" signs strewn about, while CW CompassRock pocketed millions as "servicer". The Danscam.
Not "COOPed, but Condo Brookfield wants the property luxury condos for the wealthy, divided up by luxury NYU Housing, luxury short-term stay for NYU Langone medical alley, and maybe for tax reasons luxury market rate for a few long term families. Brookfield and Tishman are the same. That was what Tishman Speyer was doing. Robbie wanted to stop paying the mortgage so they created this financial real estate fraud arrangements.
Did they really think this working class community was too stupid and or too lazy to see what they are really up to? That we are easily conned and robbed and will bend over and rollover?
Cuomo, Stringer, Garodnick may hold jobs to make this happen for their Tishman Speyer Brookfield and Hedge Fund buddies, but their dirty little secrets will get out one day, maybe another Bagli book or 60 minutes expose. "Creeps, Crooks, Liars Ball -- How NY Politicians Screwed Them Out of It All -- Working Class Small Businesses and Working Class Communities Gone From Manhattan, NY.
Bloomberg is the cause of NYC problems. The homeless problem,the housing crisis, the predatory real estate grabs by NYU, all the predatory real estate grabs, the chinese, russian oligarchs and corrupt dictators laundering money in condos, the hedge funds and llc's moving cash for foreign interests through NYC real estate, Bloomberg did it. Not De Blasio.
"If tenants can find this out this easily then the Attorney General knows and knew all along."
The AG is probably part of the scam. I think the US Attorney, Preet Bharara, needs to become aware of this and come down on these criminals like a ton of bricks.
Cuomo is ruining the whole state with his dirty deals to fill his coffers and that includes his Stuy Town dirty deal with his corrupt local accomplices Garodnick, Stringer, the whole fraidy cat Yes-men bunch of them.
No kidding Tishman Speyer never left in this twisted Brookfield, Tishman Speyer, CW Capital, CompassRock, Paul Weiss Rifkind, Moelis, and all your Fred Knapp llc shells in your kickback steal rob SCAM on the Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town residents and on the banks.
The old school Tammany Hall Back Room Deals way of governing days have passed. Your third term deal and your Stringer approved Garodnick Stuy Town deal are both DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY.
Goodbye and Good Riddance Stringer, Garodnick, Cuomo!
Never again voting for your corrupt self serving screw the constituent ways!
Well that is why the bribed-DOB, Dan Garodnick, John Marsh, Susan Steinberg had that bunker meeting to silence the tenants. Brookfield built the bunker.
It is bullshit we are stonewalled by DHCR, bullshit it is called "overcharges" when it is done with intention. Intention makes it Theft! Theft makes it a crime. This is not a matter for the DHCR. This is a matter for the district attorney Cy Vance.
When did REBNY predators Speyer/Brookfield flip Garodnick and when did Garodnick flip the TA?
Brookfield, knowing PCVST tenants will be duped into handing it exclusive access to Fannie/Freddie purchase funding worth billions and 100% ownership/control of PCVST via rigged transaction, was hiring Speyer's PCVST employees onto its payroll months before Garodnick and the TA announced, without ever consulting or informing their PCVST neighbors/constituents, that instead of a genuine tenant led purchase delivering genuine tenant led ownership of the PCVST complex and a genuine opportunity for middle class affordable ownership of individual PCVST resident's homes, they were entering into a formal partnership agreement with major REBNY predator and $25 million Speyer investor Brookfield to transact a phony tenant led purchase delivering 100% PCVST ownership/control to Brookfield and 100% of nothing to tenants. Even more disgraceful, under the cynical guise of a preposterous false choice option, they propose converting PCVST into an expensive Brookfield condo inherently intended to confiscate from the overwhelming majority of current PCVST residents any possibility of affording to own their individual PCVST homes.
At a time Brookfield was already confident hiring Speyer employees, Garodnick and the TA misled PCVST tenants into believing they were scrutinizing more than 50 competing proposals they claimed would deliver the best possible future outcome for their PCVST neighbors/constituents. Instead, they violated fiduciary obligations owed to their PCVST neighbors/constituents by stabbing them in the back with a scheme that, other than a tiny set-aside affordable quotient, is certain to eradicate the middle class out of PCVST. Brookfield will realize Speyer's predatory, scorched-earth, all-or-nothing dream come true.
When Garodnick approached TA board members recommending Moelis as financial advisor they should have thrown him out the door. When he approached them recommending Brookfield should own/control/exploit PCVST they should have thrown him out the window. If not for Garodnick-TA malfeasance, PCVST tenants could have owned the entire PCV complex without an unnecessary partner/intermediary and affordably purchased their individual PCVST homes years ago. Current PCVST tenants having no honest representation will lose everything.
The TA should provide PCVST tenants an opportunity to review the 50 competing proposals it rejected before entering into a formal partnership agreement with REBNY predator Brookfield that betrays PCVST tenants. Otherwise the TA is illegitimate and should not represent PCVST tenants during negotiations over the future of their homes and lives.
Garodnick is killing PCVST. His conflicting interests are tremendous and cannot be ethically resolved. He should just walk away, taking with him the Wall Street/REBNY predators Brookfield, Moelis and Paul Weiss showering him with money to betray his PCVST neighbors/constituents.
Dear Politicians We know what you did to this community. The truth will come out despite your intimidation, bullying, and lying. Signed Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town Former and Current Working Middle Class Residents
I am not defending any of the actions of these corrupt politicians, but a few of them are victims of corrupt staffers in their offices. That being said, no doubting the majority of the corrupt politicians are giving the orders to their staffers to engage in corruption.
The TA should provide PCVST tenants an opportunity to review the 50 competing proposals it rejected before entering into a formal partnership agreement with REBNY predator Brookfield that betrays PCVST tenants.

I didn't know there were competing proposals, other than Guterman! How dare they not show us the details of these! I wish we could take legal action against the TA because they have well and truly betrayed us. Garodnick is one treacherous little jerk. I wish Charles V. Bagli would write about the stuff going on in this place.
When Marsh and Garodnick met with DeBlasio, did they ever tell us what was discussed? So sick of these evil, slimy people.
Why didn't Dan Garodnick support Ms Chow during or even after her victory against landlords creating unlivable conditions with construction noise for residents on the First Ave Loop? Or help other residents living there get some abatement as he promised during the construction there?
Or for that fact, why didn't Dan use PCVST as THE example of predatory behavior during the 2015 rent wars in Albany where NYC lost hugely?
Schumer, Maloney, Brewer, Garodnick, Hoylman, Kavanagh, Schneiderman, Cuomo are supposed to represent us yet not one of them ever asked us residents what we want or to be part of the review of the proposals for the property. They all told us they were going to keep the open spaces undeveloped and the residents in our homes when they all worked the deal to kick us out and do Tishman Speyer Brookfield construction and Verizon deals. The whole city council knew what Dan was doing, the old city council under Christine Quinn and the new one under Melissa Mark Viverito. Brookfield owns the city council, especially the downtown lower Manhattan councilwoman whose name I forgot. The REBNY bought, paid for and owns all of them. Not one said anything to Dan to stop his plans that killed his community. How can Preet arrest the entire previous and present City Council? Easily with the way they bribe each other in exchange for favors to advance themselves.
11:12 you are completely 100% right. I believe everything as you laid it out.
I think De Blasio inherited a lot of messes including what Dan has done to PCV ST. We should all thank God Stringer is not Mayor and Garodnick is not comptroller. De Blasio is a much better Mayor then REBNY backed and owned Stringer.
"Dear Politicians We know what you did to this community. The truth will come out despite your intimidation, bullying, and lying. Signed Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town Former and Current Working Middle Class Residents"
Amen to that! This needs to be reproduced and sent to every one of these despicable crooks, starting with Garodnick!
Schumer, Maloney, Brewer, Garodnick, Hoylman, Kavanagh, Schneiderman, Cuomo are not going to win any more elections. I will campaign for ANYBODY who runs against any of them, even Donald Trump!
Some interesting stuff in this week's T&V articles and letters. They are in the hard copy, but (so far) not online. I hope T&V isn't acquiescing to any request from management to keep it offline so STR can't pick it up so easily. Bedbugs, drunken students, an elderly tenant being hit by a hockey puck - all the stuff management likes to keep under wraps.
With his dirty corrupt legal process and interference, Cuomo is bullying our children, teachers and schools for his hedge fund pal's charter schools with hedge fund favoring laws, bullying our chancellor, and Cuomo is interfering in the legal judicial process for his wealthy friends at the expense of our kids. Cuomo is a dirty corrupt bully cheating our kids and unfairly tarnishing our Mayor for sticking up for NYC teachers and children.
STR thank you for posting this. We were betrayed, no other way to put it.
It's incomprehensible Garodnick would spin a public perception against predatory equity while partnering with the biggest offender churning thousands of apartments with tens of thousands of his constituents kicked to the curb. Either he thinks the public are too dumb to see what he is doing and we are too lazy to stand up for ourselves and that politicians are the only smart people walking the planet or he has lost it in the land of delusional "George H W Bush How much is a carton of Milk".
de Blasio tries to stand up for New Yorkers. He is up against Cuomo, Flanagan, Quinn (foot soldiers Garodnick, Stringer) who try to take over NYC for REBNY's wealthy interests. In this modern day and age that the Mayor of New York City had to deal with the "REBNY poor door" attempt at furthering inequality boggles the mind.
"Some interesting stuff in this week's T&V articles and letters. They are in the hard copy, but (so far) not online.

I noticed that too. I think it's because some people post comments that are not complimentary to management!

If these stories are under the T&V "Letters to the Editor" or under other T&V bylines in the hardcopy, it usually takes a day or two before they appear in the T&V blog. We will see.
If T&V is going to be dictated to by the Stasi, they could just disable the comment section. I find it easier to read online even though I get the paper delivered every week. If it IS the case that the Stasi has told them not to put the letters online because of unflattering remarks about management, then it really is pathetic. What happened to the Freedom of The Press, Free speech and all that good old stuff this country is (or used to be) all about. Joe McCarthy lives on I guess! Well, at least in spirit at T&V.
I was just reading T&V (paper version) about the Legal Clinic that Garodnick Steinberg, et al just held for tenants who had received golub notices. Apparently, there were a couple of hundred people showed up and either Garodnick or Steinberg said that they hadn't seen that many people in that predicament since the days of Tishman Speyer and that it had been rather quiet under the management of CWCapital.
Are they trying to make us think that we don't know, at this point, that TS/CW/Brookfield is all the same rotten enterprise?
Bharara, Bagli, 60 Minutes, ANYBODY OUT THERE, please come and nail their corrupt asses to the wall! Please!
The dots do not appear connected to Stuyvesant Town in any way. So what if someone worked for two different gigantic construction firm/developers. Both have zillions of clients. Brookfield does not have any projects at STPCV. Bring it on! No I do not work for MGMT. Just don't see any connection here between this working dude's profile on LinkedIn and our community. And it's inappropriate perhaps slander to post his profile like the way it presents here (innuendo)
Tishman Speyer and Brookfield Asset Management are running the same scheme all over, scamming banks while screwing businesses out of commercial leases and people out of residential leases. So called newly formed special servicers are in on it with them.
>>Just don't see any connection here between this working dude's profile on LinkedIn and our community. And it's inappropriate perhaps slander to post his profile like the way it presents here (innuendo)<<
Please pay attention. My post is titled "It's a Small World After All," nothing more. His profile is his own and not photoshopped or invented. The innuendo is just that: that it's a small world in NYC--a guy who worked for Tishman-Speyer now works for Brookfield.
There are several such "small world after all" links in the STPCV environment. Isn't a lawyer who works for the TA a member of the REBNY?
People can take from this info what they want. That, perhaps, friendships were formed in one organization that last beyond employment in that organization. Or, perhaps, there are no lasting links and maybe there's even disdain for the previous organization. Or, perhaps, everything is rotten in the state of Denmark and in this city.
Peter Cooper is now officially a college dorm. come and hang out in our halls, beer kegs service starts at 7 pm Friday through Sunday. Slamming doors and cheesy fucking music blasted all night. Come all, bring your EV loser friends.
By LLC lawsuit’s logic, Cuomo could be docked nearly $5 million
The governor would hardly be alone, however. If the courts accepted this method of enforcement action, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman could face penalties nearing $700,000. Comptroller Tom DiNapoli could be docked almost $150,000 for his fundraising from Glenwood. And hundreds of Assembly members, City Council members and county coroners would need to worry about repercussions for fundraising practices that were widely scrutinized but that they had had reason to assume was legal.
Isn't the working class dudes name on some of the DOB PCVST construction papers in a previous link? I think that puts Brookfield on some of the construction if this guys name is on the paperwork. Anyone remember under which blog this was?
T&V is online. I just looked. I don't think they put the whole publication online ever. Nobody would buy the paper! Don't know what people want from them.
>>>The innuendo is just that: that it's a small world in NYC--a guy who worked for Tishman-Speyer now works for Brookfield<<<...
With respect to you sir (it's your blog) perhaps you might blur this working stiff's face and name. Doing so would still convey the "small world" thesis as effectively.
"The dots do not appear connected to Stuyvesant Town in any way." --- Your "working dude" was paid to break up PCVST apartments converted to dorms filled with transients destroying QOL here. Connecting dots not necessary.
"Brookfield does not have any projects at STPCV." --- That's an incredible statement. STPCV is a Brookfield project since 2006. Speyer's failure did not change Brookfield's REBNY predator values. Owning/Controlling/Exploiting the entire PCVST complex and taking everything away from PCVST tenants is a Brookfield value. For Brookfield, duping PCVST tenants into handing it their exclusive access to Fannie/Freddie billions in exchange for a few worthless promises to do nothing costing it nothing will be better than sex. Killing RS is a major Brookfield value. 24/7/365 it showers our elected politicians with millions of dollars ordering them to maintain RS on a death march. Garodnick changed his values to match Brookfield's. TA board members changed their values to match Garodnick's. PCVST tenants having no honest representation will lose everything.
"No I do not work for MGMT. Just don't see any connection here between this working dude's profile on LinkedIn and our community." --- Don't care who you work for and Don't see how a member of this community can't see his connection and numerous other direct links joining Speyer and Brookfield together. Again, this "working dude" earned money breaking apart PCVST apartments into partitioned dorms "occupied" by transients destroying our QOL, and yours too, if you are a member of this community.
"And it's inappropriate perhaps slander to post his profile like the way it presents here (innuendo)" --- It's inappropriate for you to misconstrue "slander" to attack STR. And it's oxymoronic for you to use innuendo to imply innuendo. Your portraying this "working dude" employed by REBNY predators Speyer-Brookfield as "victim" is either hilarious or insulting to PCVST residents.
When did Brookfield flip Garodnick and when did Garodnick flip the TA? It's understandable Garodnick is just another REBNY owned NY politician. He is living proof that NYS Constitution legislation mandating term limits is effective. More important, how did he convince the TA to betray their PCVST neighbors/constituents? Why did the TA needlessly partner with major REBNY predator Brookfield investing $25 million supporting and cheerleading Speyer destroying PCVST and the historic PCVST community the TA claims it represents? Brookfield's Speyer investment is damning, automatically disqualifying Brookfield from having any type of business relationship with PCVST tenants involving the future of their homes and lives. Why are Garodnick and the TA duping their PCVST neighbors/constituents into handing over our exclusive access to Fannie/Freddie purchase funding worth billions, 100% ownership/control of the entire PCVST complex AND OUR HOMES! to this REBNY predator that already failed to boot us all out of our homes? Garodnick and TA conniving will scam us into buying our homes for Brookfield, providing this REBNY predator a 2nd opportunity to boot us out of them. Why did Garodnick and the TA prostitute themselves for Brookfield?
>>With respect to you sir (it's your blog) perhaps you might blur this working stiff's face and name. Doing so would still convey the "small world" thesis as effectively.<<
You're being overly dramatic. This person was named previously. His profile is public by choice (his). Should I also leave out de Blasio's name and photo when he is mentioned on the blog? Perhaps eliminate Robbie Speyer from the front page? Perhaps just not show any photos from the REBNY annual galas that are on display on other sites, with names identifying the participants?
Pcv has been a beer hall for some time now. Ours is normally reeking of beer even in the morning hours. Then someone throws up in the hallway. Not new news here. NYU has taken this place long ago.
But Christian Heimple, Director of Construction at Brookfield Properties was chopping apartments and installing dorms for years under employment at TISHMAN SPEYER.
It is all the same players all the same company. Brookfield is TishmanSpeyer. They never walked away!
Here Christian Heimple is in 2010. (with Donalda notarizing every document). This is all the same job but his employer is filled out differently on the DOB paperwork. Guess the DOB does not care and the construction here is done by all the same people using many company names.
DOB Work Permit Application Christian Heimple Employer: Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town Partners II LP
"where are the new families? Where are young couples starting out ?"
Good question! Where are the "New Stabilizers" that John Marsh gushed about and who is thought would pony up the outrageous asking price to buy the condos that he and Dan and Ms. Steinberg are so enthusiastic about?
John Marsh spoke of his "sharp knives" but the reality is he's all about soft mittens. Don't look for him, his duplicitous pals Stazi and Danny Boy, or his "new stabilizers."
Is Donalda notarizing those DOB documents Notary Fraud? Is Compass Rock is committing Notary Fraud on all their DOB documents?
"The primary duty of a Notary Public is to show that he or she, acting as a disinterested party, has noted that the signer of a document understands the importance of what he or she is signing, that the signature is that of the signer, and that the document was signed willingly. The signature and seal of a Notary Public in and of themselves do not provide proof of these facts, but they do allow people in trade and commerce to rely on the Notary Public as a third party who has no personal stake in the transaction."
Many fraud cases, especially those involving real estate fraud, begin with a Notary Public who has been paid off to fraudulently acknowledge a document. This scenario plays out from time to time because almost all documents filed in the county records require a notary stamp. Most counties don’t have a system in place through which they can verify the legitimacy of a notary, and since it’s relatively easy to obtain a notary stamp, this type of fraud is growing increasingly common.
Case in point: a group of con artists in the Houston area recently claimed more than 70 vacant houses by crafting fake deeds with forged notary seals, leaving dozens homeowners angry and baffled.
My son in law is a steamfitter (legal, unionized) and when I asked him about fraud at the DOB he just rolled his eyes and said "It's how they do business." His job involves inspecting work that has been done and he fails most of it and says he doesn't know how the hell they got the permits in the first place unless they BOUGHT them. I wish he'd get assigned over here, but I don't think they employ unionized labor here. I see the guys lining the fences eating their lunches and they all look like day laborers. Maybe they're not, but that's the impression I get.
1:44 thanks for the inside information. The DOB's negligence and intentional fraudulent practices makes them culpable for every on-site injury, illness and death caused from construction.
It will be sold off. It has to be. Paul Weiss helped the REBNY investors bring up the price so they can get their money (Brookfield, Speyer) CW helped Fortress get their money, Nobody helped the tenants to purchase at a fair and reasonable price.
11:57. Why condo? They would generate massive capital in the short term AND generate regular massive capital in the long term through condo maintenance fees.
11:59 - don't get your point. Who gets pushed in? They are trying to get rid of longtime tenants and they will have a fight on their hands because this is my home and my home is about ME,
If you are referring to the NYPD who used to get bumped up the wait list in the days of MetLife as those getting pushed in, I want those who get pushed in as my neighbors. They are infinitely better than the riff raff neighbors we have now.
Let me state the obvious. Community relationships with police is much closer when police and fire department personnel are members of the community they serve and protect. When they do not live in the community they work in the relationship distances and severs.
Personally I think they are better neighbors too. Our "new stabilizer" family neighbors are rude and self-centered. I want NYPD officers and FDNY fire fighters living here (but not the NYPD FDNY commisioners who party with the REBNY and act more like shady politicians then like honorable police or noble firemen).
What a wonderful city we have all created now. .......
Wrong! We have not ALL created the city as it is now. The shitty, corrupt politicians have created it. Remember, they don't work for us, they work for their owners/donors, e.g., the REBNY.
"How many more false statements are in the Fortress Hedge Fund, Brookfield Asset Management, Compass Rock, NYC Department of Buildings documents?"
A LOT! This entire dangerous, greedy, sleazy scam that is being perpetuated is totally dependent on the sleazy, corrupt politicians in City Hall and Albany. We are at their mercy. I hope that when the elections roll around THEY will be at OUR mercy.
No actually we did not vote them in. We withheld our votes in record numbers and these arrogant thick-headed politicians still did not get the message that they better start doing their job for the People and start everyday with "how will I earn the privilege of my job today so the People have confidence I can do my job"
Now we have to outright fire them. Withholding our votes is not enough to get through to them. Voting against the incumbent, voting for anyone but them is the only way to get through. Their probation period is over. They failed this one last chance term they got from us withholding our votes. Now we vote against them.
I will vote for anyone running against any one of the incumbents. I'll vote for literally ANYONE because no candidates could be more corrupt and loathesome than what we have in office now.

Brookfield, knowing PCVST tenants will be duped into handing it exclusive access to Fannie/Freddie purchase funding worth billions and 100% ownership/control of PCVST via rigged transaction, was hiring Speyer's PCVST employees onto its payroll months before Garodnick and the TA announced, without ever consulting or informing their PCVST neighbors/constituents, that instead of a genuine tenant led purchase delivering genuine tenant led ownership of the PCVST complex and a genuine opportunity for middle class affordable ownership of individual PCVST resident's homes, they were entering into a formal partnership agreement with major REBNY predator and $25 million Speyer investor Brookfield to transact a phony tenant led purchase delivering 100% PCVST ownership/control to Brookfield and 100% of nothing to tenants. Even more disgraceful, under the cynical guise of a preposterous false choice option, they propose converting PCVST into an expensive Brookfield condo inherently intended to confiscate from the overwhelming majority of current PCVST residents any possibility of affording to own their individual PCVST homes.
At a time Brookfield was already confident hiring Speyer employees, Garodnick and the TA misled PCVST tenants into believing they were scrutinizing more than 50 competing proposals they claimed would deliver the best possible future outcome for their PCVST neighbors/constituents. Instead, they violated fiduciary obligations owed to their PCVST neighbors/constituents by stabbing them in the back with a scheme that, other than a tiny set-aside affordable quotient, is certain to eradicate the middle class out of PCVST. Brookfield will realize Speyer's predatory, scorched-earth, all-or-nothing dream come true.
When Garodnick approached TA board members recommending Moelis as financial advisor they should have thrown him out the door. When he approached them recommending Brookfield should own/control/exploit PCVST they should have thrown him out the window. If not for Garodnick-TA malfeasance, PCVST tenants could have owned the entire PCV complex without an unnecessary partner/intermediary and affordably purchased their individual PCVST homes years ago. Current PCVST tenants having no honest representation will lose everything.
The TA should provide PCVST tenants an opportunity to review the 50 competing proposals it rejected before entering into a formal partnership agreement with REBNY predator Brookfield that betrays PCVST tenants. Otherwise the TA is illegitimate and should not represent PCVST tenants during negotiations over the future of their homes and lives.
Garodnick is killing PCVST. His conflicting interests are tremendous and cannot be ethically resolved. He should just walk away, taking with him the Wall Street/REBNY predators Brookfield, Moelis and Paul Weiss showering him with money to betray his PCVST neighbors/constituents.

I am not defending any of the actions of these corrupt politicians, but a few of them are victims of corrupt staffers in their offices. That being said, no doubting the majority of the corrupt politicians are giving the orders to their staffers to engage in corruption.

I didn't know there were competing proposals, other than Guterman! How dare they not show us the details of these! I wish we could take legal action against the TA because they have well and truly betrayed us. Garodnick is one treacherous little jerk. I wish Charles V. Bagli would write about the stuff going on in this place.
When Marsh and Garodnick met with DeBlasio, did they ever tell us what was discussed? So sick of these evil, slimy people.
Why didn't Dan Garodnick support Ms Chow during or even after her victory against landlords creating unlivable conditions with construction noise for residents on the First Ave Loop? Or help other residents living there get some abatement as he promised during the construction there?
Or for that fact, why didn't Dan use PCVST as THE example of predatory behavior during the 2015 rent wars in Albany where NYC lost hugely?

Well said.
Schumer, Maloney, Brewer, Garodnick, Hoylman, Kavanagh, Schneiderman, Cuomo are supposed to represent us yet not one of them ever asked us residents what we want or to be part of the review of the proposals for the property.
They all told us they were going to keep the open spaces undeveloped and the residents in our homes when they all worked the deal to kick us out and do Tishman Speyer Brookfield construction and Verizon deals. The whole city council knew what Dan was doing, the old city council under Christine Quinn and the new one under Melissa Mark Viverito. Brookfield owns the city council, especially the downtown lower Manhattan councilwoman whose name I forgot. The REBNY bought, paid for and owns all of them. Not one said anything to Dan to stop his plans that killed his community. How can Preet arrest the entire previous and present City Council? Easily with the way they bribe each other in exchange for favors to advance themselves.
TA says Brookfield will improve laundry rooms to make us all happy.
11:12 you are completely 100% right. I believe everything as you laid it out.
I think De Blasio inherited a lot of messes including what Dan has done to PCV ST. We should all thank God Stringer is not Mayor and Garodnick is not comptroller. De Blasio is a much better Mayor then REBNY backed and owned Stringer.
If the Brookfield deal was the best deal for tenants they would not have to be secretive and liars about it.
And thank you 11:12 for succinctly telling us all what really happened.

Amen to that! This needs to be reproduced and sent to every one of these despicable crooks, starting with Garodnick!
Schumer, Maloney, Brewer, Garodnick, Hoylman, Kavanagh, Schneiderman, Cuomo are not going to win any more elections. I will campaign for ANYBODY who runs against any of them, even Donald Trump!
Some interesting stuff in this week's T&V articles and letters. They are in the hard copy, but (so far) not online. I hope T&V isn't acquiescing to any request from management to keep it offline so STR can't pick it up so easily. Bedbugs, drunken students, an elderly tenant being hit by a hockey puck - all the stuff management likes to keep under wraps.
http://nypost.com/2015/08/28/de-blasio-caught-trying-to-cheat-charters-of-school-space/
With his dirty corrupt legal process and interference, Cuomo is bullying our children, teachers and schools for his hedge fund pal's charter schools with hedge fund favoring laws, bullying our chancellor, and Cuomo is interfering in the legal judicial process for his wealthy friends at the expense of our kids. Cuomo is a dirty corrupt bully cheating our kids and unfairly tarnishing our Mayor for sticking up for NYC teachers and children.
How sad that the female students are loud, filthy, rude, inconsiderate and are our new neighbors. Who are these assholes?
And there you have it. Brookfield did all the construction at Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town and that means their partner was in on it all.
Dan Garodnick and Susan Steinberg pretended to oppose Oval construction when they and their partner Brookfield were doing the construction.
What ever happened to John Marsh's "Partner Brookfield" website? Are they trying to sweep it all under the rug?
Bunch of pretend "management company" lowlifes screwing over people for political advancement and personal enrichment.
STR thank you for posting this. We were betrayed, no other way to put it.
It's incomprehensible Garodnick would spin a public perception against predatory equity while partnering with the biggest offender churning thousands of apartments with tens of thousands of his constituents kicked to the curb. Either he thinks the public are too dumb to see what he is doing and we are too lazy to stand up for ourselves and that politicians are the only smart people walking the planet or he has lost it in the land of delusional "George H W Bush How much is a carton of Milk".

Compass Rock Brookfield Reviews
99% of the reviews tell the truth of the scam told to new people moving in who get duped and the problems they have
de Blasio tries to stand up for New Yorkers. He is up against Cuomo, Flanagan, Quinn (foot soldiers Garodnick, Stringer) who try to take over NYC for REBNY's wealthy interests. In this modern day and age that the Mayor of New York City had to deal with the "REBNY poor door" attempt at furthering inequality boggles the mind.

Charles Bagli doesn't give a hoot about us, or anyone except Charles.
Maybe T&V has been "Garodnicked!"
I was just reading T&V (paper version) about the Legal Clinic that Garodnick Steinberg, et al just held for tenants who had received golub notices. Apparently, there were a couple of hundred people showed up and either Garodnick or Steinberg said that they hadn't seen that many people in that predicament since the days of Tishman Speyer and that it had been rather quiet under the management of CWCapital.
Are they trying to make us think that we don't know, at this point, that TS/CW/Brookfield is all the same rotten enterprise?
Bharara, Bagli, 60 Minutes, ANYBODY OUT THERE, please come and nail their corrupt asses to the wall! Please!
The dots do not appear connected to Stuyvesant Town in any way. So what if someone worked for two different gigantic construction firm/developers. Both have zillions of clients. Brookfield does not have any projects at STPCV. Bring it on! No I do not work for MGMT. Just don't see any connection here between this working dude's profile on LinkedIn and our community. And it's inappropriate perhaps slander to post his profile like the way it presents here (innuendo)
Tishman Speyer and Brookfield Asset Management are running the same scheme all over, scamming banks while screwing businesses out of commercial leases and people out of residential leases. So called newly formed special servicers are in on it with them.
>>Just don't see any connection here between this working dude's profile on LinkedIn and our community. And it's inappropriate perhaps slander to post his profile like the way it presents here (innuendo)<<
Please pay attention. My post is titled "It's a Small World After All," nothing more. His profile is his own and not photoshopped or invented. The innuendo is just that: that it's a small world in NYC--a guy who worked for Tishman-Speyer now works for Brookfield.
There are several such "small world after all" links in the STPCV environment. Isn't a lawyer who works for the TA a member of the REBNY?
People can take from this info what they want. That, perhaps, friendships were formed in one organization that last beyond employment in that organization. Or, perhaps, there are no lasting links and maybe there's even disdain for the previous organization. Or, perhaps, everything is rotten in the state of Denmark and in this city.
Peter Cooper is now officially a college dorm. come and hang out in our halls, beer kegs service starts at 7 pm Friday through Sunday. Slamming doors and cheesy fucking music blasted all night.
Come all, bring your EV loser friends.
Sick of the hypocrite politicians who wrote laws legalizing unethical acts.

http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/albany/2015/08/8575477/llc-lawsuits-logic-cuomo-could-be-docked-nearly-5-million
By LLC lawsuit’s logic, Cuomo could be docked nearly $5 million
The governor would hardly be alone, however. If the courts accepted this method of enforcement action, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman could face penalties nearing $700,000. Comptroller Tom DiNapoli could be docked almost $150,000 for his fundraising from Glenwood. And hundreds of Assembly members, City Council members and county coroners would need to worry about repercussions for fundraising practices that were widely scrutinized but that they had had reason to assume was legal.
Isn't the working class dudes name on some of the DOB PCVST construction papers in a previous link? I think that puts Brookfield on some of the construction if this guys name is on the paperwork. Anyone remember under which blog this was?
Post is not "slander" - No explanation necessary
T&V is online. I just looked. I don't think they put the whole publication online ever. Nobody would buy the paper! Don't know what people want from them.

With respect to you sir (it's your blog) perhaps you might blur this working stiff's face and name. Doing so would still convey the "small world" thesis as effectively.

"The dots do not appear connected to Stuyvesant Town in any way."
--- Your "working dude" was paid to break up PCVST apartments converted to dorms filled with transients destroying QOL here. Connecting dots not necessary.
"Brookfield does not have any projects at STPCV."
--- That's an incredible statement. STPCV is a Brookfield project since 2006. Speyer's failure did not change Brookfield's REBNY predator values. Owning/Controlling/Exploiting the entire PCVST complex and taking everything away from PCVST tenants is a Brookfield value. For Brookfield, duping PCVST tenants into handing it their exclusive access to Fannie/Freddie billions in exchange for a few worthless promises to do nothing costing it nothing will be better than sex. Killing RS is a major Brookfield value. 24/7/365 it showers our elected politicians with millions of dollars ordering them to maintain RS on a death march. Garodnick changed his values to match Brookfield's. TA board members changed their values to match Garodnick's. PCVST tenants having no honest representation will lose everything.
"No I do not work for MGMT. Just don't see any connection here between this working dude's profile on LinkedIn and our community."
--- Don't care who you work for and Don't see how a member of this community can't see his connection and numerous other direct links joining Speyer and Brookfield together. Again, this "working dude" earned money breaking apart PCVST apartments into partitioned dorms "occupied" by transients destroying our QOL, and yours too, if you are a member of this community.
"And it's inappropriate perhaps slander to post his profile like the way it presents here (innuendo)"
--- It's inappropriate for you to misconstrue "slander" to attack STR. And it's oxymoronic for you to use innuendo to imply innuendo. Your portraying this "working dude" employed by REBNY predators Speyer-Brookfield as "victim" is either hilarious or insulting to PCVST residents.
When did Brookfield flip Garodnick and when did Garodnick flip the TA? It's understandable Garodnick is just another REBNY owned NY politician. He is living proof that NYS Constitution legislation mandating term limits is effective. More important, how did he convince the TA to betray their PCVST neighbors/constituents? Why did the TA needlessly partner with major REBNY predator Brookfield investing $25 million supporting and cheerleading Speyer destroying PCVST and the historic PCVST community the TA claims it represents? Brookfield's Speyer investment is damning, automatically disqualifying Brookfield from having any type of business relationship with PCVST tenants involving the future of their homes and lives. Why are Garodnick and the TA duping their PCVST neighbors/constituents into handing over our exclusive access to Fannie/Freddie purchase funding worth billions, 100% ownership/control of the entire PCVST complex AND OUR HOMES! to this REBNY predator that already failed to boot us all out of our homes? Garodnick and TA conniving will scam us into buying our homes for Brookfield, providing this REBNY predator a 2nd opportunity to boot us out of them. Why did Garodnick and the TA prostitute themselves for Brookfield?
>>With respect to you sir (it's your blog) perhaps you might blur this working stiff's face and name. Doing so would still convey the "small world" thesis as effectively.<<
You're being overly dramatic. This person was named previously. His profile is public by choice (his). Should I also leave out de Blasio's name and photo when he is mentioned on the blog? Perhaps eliminate Robbie Speyer from the front page? Perhaps just not show any photos from the REBNY annual galas that are on display on other sites, with names identifying the participants?
Pcv has been a beer hall for some time now. Ours is normally reeking of beer even in the morning hours. Then someone throws up in the hallway. Not new news here. NYU has taken this place long ago.
Everyone knows they have a contract with NYU for grad student housing and not undergrad housing. An illegal contract.

"where are the new families? Where are young couples starting out ?"
Good question! Where are the "New Stabilizers" that John Marsh gushed about and who is thought would pony up the outrageous asking price to buy the condos that he and Dan and Ms. Steinberg are so enthusiastic about?
12 04 Well they left since there is no coop here. You keep posting that we're condo coop and we are not, never were, never will be.
John Marsh spoke of his "sharp knives" but the reality is he's all about soft mittens. Don't look for him, his duplicitous pals Stazi and Danny Boy, or his "new stabilizers."
John Marsh said whatever Dan Garodnick and Brad Hoylmann told him to say.
Is Donalda notarizing those DOB documents Notary Fraud? Is Compass Rock is committing Notary Fraud on all their DOB documents?
"The primary duty of a Notary Public is to show that he or she, acting as a disinterested party, has noted that the signer of a document understands the importance of what he or she is signing, that the signature is that of the signer, and that the document was signed willingly. The signature and seal of a Notary Public in and of themselves do not provide proof of these facts, but they do allow people in trade and commerce to rely on the Notary Public as a third party who has no personal stake in the transaction."
How to Protect Yourself from Notary Fraud
Many fraud cases, especially those involving real estate fraud, begin with a Notary Public who has been paid off to fraudulently acknowledge a document. This scenario plays out from time to time because almost all documents filed in the county records require a notary stamp. Most counties don’t have a system in place through which they can verify the legitimacy of a notary, and since it’s relatively easy to obtain a notary stamp, this type of fraud is growing increasingly common.
Case in point: a group of con artists in the Houston area recently claimed more than 70 vacant houses by crafting fake deeds with forged notary seals, leaving dozens homeowners angry and baffled.
"The primary duty of a Notary Public is to show that he or she, acting as a disinterested party,"
Donalda Habersham is not a "disinterested party"
She works for Fred Knapp Compass Rock!
I am legally subletting my place since my job is taking me to Chicago. Where would one advertise this for decent honest tenants? Thank you all.
My son in law is a steamfitter (legal, unionized) and when I asked him about fraud at the DOB he just rolled his eyes and said "It's how they do business." His job involves inspecting work that has been done and he fails most of it and says he doesn't know how the hell they got the permits in the first place unless they BOUGHT them. I wish he'd get assigned over here, but I don't think they employ unionized labor here. I see the guys lining the fences eating their lunches and they all look like day laborers. Maybe they're not, but that's the impression I get.
1:08 can't you read the writing on the wall? High priced condos are a certainty, bank on it.
"1:08 can't you read the writing on the wall? High priced condos are a certainty, bank on it."
They are not getting one brown penny of my money!
Notary fraud is a crime. Fred Knapp (a lawyer) know this full well.
1:44 thanks for the inside information. The DOB's negligence and intentional fraudulent practices makes them culpable for every on-site injury, illness and death caused from construction.
It will be sold off. It has to be. Paul Weiss helped the REBNY investors bring up the price so they can get their money (Brookfield, Speyer) CW helped Fortress get their money, Nobody helped the tenants to purchase at a fair and reasonable price.
3 42 am , yeah, sure, but it won't matter. will be this way in this corrupt town for another 25 years or more.
There wil not be condos. You fail to answer why CW and CR would give up the rental biz. It is very lucrative for them and day by day this grows.
"1:08 can't you read the writing on the wall? High priced condos are a certainty, bank on it."
"They are not getting one brown penny of my money!"
---
They don't want you or one brown penny of your money. Brookfield will sell your home to NYU, then NYU will push you out of their condo investment.
Compass Rock CW have to sell next year.
11:57. Why condo? They would generate massive capital in the short term AND generate regular massive capital in the long term through condo maintenance fees.
"They don't want you or one brown penny of your money. Brookfield will sell your home to NYU, then NYU will push you out of their condo investment."
They might try, but that doesn't mean they'll be successful. Some of us will not be pushed out of our homes so easily.
Wasting space, wasting time hoping or talking condo. Honestly quite boring to talk about Hell Freezing Over.
er, i don't think anyone gets pushed out. In fact, some get pushed in and get to stay and make a real home here. It's not always about YOU.
11:59 - don't get your point. Who gets pushed in? They are trying to get rid of longtime tenants and they will have a fight on their hands because this is my home and my home is about ME,
8:29 Waste of time to discuss the inevitable Sale and disposition of the property? How about its the ONLY thing worth discussing!
If you are referring to the NYPD who used to get bumped up the wait list in the days of MetLife as those getting pushed in, I want those who get pushed in as my neighbors. They are infinitely better than the riff raff neighbors we have now.
NYPD cannot afford an expensive Brookfield condo. REBNY does not want them living here.
Right O! We don't need police and Fire fighters in our city. I forgot!!!
What a wonderful city we have all created now.
Let me state the obvious. Community relationships with police is much closer when police and fire department personnel are members of the community they serve and protect. When they do not live in the community they work in the relationship distances and severs.
Personally I think they are better neighbors too. Our "new stabilizer" family neighbors are rude and self-centered. I want NYPD officers and FDNY fire fighters living here (but not the NYPD FDNY commisioners who party with the REBNY and act more like shady politicians then like honorable police or noble firemen).
Off to my shift. Have a good day all.
Yes it is notary fraud. Thousands of incidents / counts of notary fraud (including on the no change in occupancy false statements).
How many more false statements are in the Fortress Hedge Fund, Brookfield Asset Management, Compass Rock, NYC Department of Buildings documents?
What a wonderful city we have all created now. .......
Wrong! We have not ALL created the city as it is now. The shitty, corrupt politicians have created it. Remember, they don't work for us, they work for their owners/donors, e.g., the REBNY.
"How many more false statements are in the Fortress Hedge Fund, Brookfield Asset Management, Compass Rock, NYC Department of Buildings documents?"
A LOT! This entire dangerous, greedy, sleazy scam that is being perpetuated is totally dependent on the sleazy, corrupt politicians in City Hall and Albany. We are at their mercy. I hope that when the elections roll around THEY will be at OUR mercy.
er, who votes all these politicians in? WE DO.
No actually we did not vote them in. We withheld our votes in record numbers and these arrogant thick-headed politicians still did not get the message that they better start doing their job for the People and start everyday with "how will I earn the privilege of my job today so the People have confidence I can do my job"
Now we have to outright fire them. Withholding our votes is not enough to get through to them. Voting against the incumbent, voting for anyone but them is the only way to get through. Their probation period is over. They failed this one last chance term they got from us withholding our votes. Now we vote against them.
Most Definitely Voting Against REBNY controlled Maloney, REBNYowned Cuomo, Garodnick, Schneidermann, Stringer.
I will vote for anyone running against any one of the incumbents. I'll vote for literally ANYONE because no candidates could be more corrupt and loathesome than what we have in office now.
