The photo below did not turn out well, as far photo quality goes, but you can see what met my eyes, this time in the early Sunday afternoon, west side of the 20 St loop. This sight meets residents daily. BTW, mattresses that are not disposed of properly are a violation of city law. Many mattresses that I see in Stuy Town are NOT disposed of properly, and no one, in an official capacity, seems concerned these days.
THE OTHER HALF
The "other half" living at the Hillman housing cooperative, not far away from Stuy Town, on the East Side:
The mattress and other "junk" in that first photo is close to the Management office, btw.
ReplyDeleteMattresses I can deal with...dog sh*t all over the place, urine in the stairwells, in the elevator, turd around the Oval path, on the Oval lawn, that is too much.
ReplyDeleteThe carriage rooms look like a disaster area. Garbage everywhere. The level to which this once lovely complex has sunk is disgraceful. Hey, no need to despair. At least we have the "amenities". Nothing to soothe the soul like an ear-splitting "concert" after coming home from a hard day's work. Or a tasty artisanal treat at the eColi PigStuy Oval Café...yummy!
Big difference between the Hillman Housing and the Heyduk Housing.
ReplyDeleteThis place is a SLUM. A SLUM. Gottit, Heyduk and Co. You are running a SLUM!!!
A nasty, dirty, noisy, shitty SLUM!
Heehahaheeehahahaha such a dump
ReplyDeleteThis is the same disgusting sight we see here day in and day out. A real pig stuy
ReplyDeleteBut, but...
ReplyDeleteJust so I don't forget, the next front page post should be about "implausible deniability." Unless we find out what happened with that hockey attack....
How much is Blackstone paying the hockey stick attack victim and T&V to keep quiet? I've never seen anything like it on this property. Absolute dead silence.
ReplyDeleteBlackstone is disgraceful and Rick whatsisname should be ashamed of the job he's doing. Or not doing. What used to be a very pleasant and peaceful and safe residential community is now a dirty, dangerous, sloppily-run dorm. Maybe they are deliberately running it into the ground for some reason. It doesn't make much sense to me. This Rick guy seems to only be interested in adding gimmicks, but has no real interest (or maybe capability) of managing the property in a competent way. I'm surprised they put him in charge because I'm sure Blackstone has better people who could do his job and do it right.
ReplyDeleteI mean where else can they put all the garbage that's pumped out of these dorms? Don't you remember around the holidays how packed and fire hazard ridden these rooms were?
ReplyDeleteCan't change what's happening here, just have to flow down feces river. This guys are here for the next 20 years. TA doesn't care, management doesnt care, PS has been down sized and told not care... It is what it is. I hate it but I'm locked in at a good rent and I've lived in worse so I'm staying / stuck here like most of you.
Restless night led to me going for a midnight run, and instead of heading south along east river park I figured I would do my run through the property. 10 miles, which included 2 loops around the perimeter and than hitting everything inside the property numerous times, and I saw not 1 guard.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, how long is it until they start allowing frat and sorority signs to hang from our buildings? I'm guessing 2018...
Rick Hayduk isn't the problem Blackstone is. His bosses tell him him how to manage or mismanage the property. They are intent on turning this place into a dorm/hotel dump and are doing a good job of it. A lot of the blame should go to Garodnick, the other politicians, the TA and our lousy mayor for pushing this deal.
ReplyDeleteIt's REALLY bad around here.
ReplyDeleteHow long before NYu gets a real chunk, named as owner?
ReplyDeleteDo the parents of the precious snowflakes who dorm here realize that we have virtually no Public Safety presence and that violent assaults are swept under the carpet by management and the complicit "tenants association," which hasn't represented tenants in years and is totally in the pocket of management?
ReplyDeleteThe reputation of this place is horrible. Why would anyone pay all this money and still want to live here. Not me!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Rick! We are so proud of your accomplishments around here.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the many violent assaults, but there is one I'm interested in. That one with the hockey sticks.
ReplyDelete"dorm/hotel dump". EXACTLY!
ReplyDeleteAwakened every morning to the damn dos barking outside my window.
ReplyDeleteCan't get to sleep before 1-2Am because of the running upstairs without carpets. So glad I got my schooling done years ago when this place was run properly and people would have been evicted for the things that go on now.
The changes here a disheartening but more important they lead to all sorts of sleep related and stress related diseases. it's just not worth it.
I too have a great rent for Manhattan but I know I'm not stuck here unless I want to be.
Rmember: No one is stuck unless you want to be.
Hotel / Dorm Dump courtesy of the Mayor.
ReplyDeleteThanks to an earlier commentator on a previous thread who posted about corruption pay to play deBlasio and his administration we now know why there are illegal hotels in StuyTown. It seems the hypocritical Mayor helps his friends get away with illegal hotels. The meeting resulted in Rechnitz evading a vacate order. The Mayor helps his "developer" pals evade vacate orders while his OSE Parra and successors pursue vacate orders on tenant New Yorkers whether or not they run hotels, and as we all know the StuyTown developer Blackstone has a cozy relationship with the Mayor. It gets creepier and creepier the more we learn about this Mayor.
"Rechnitz, who’s since pled guilty to corruption, also asked for help with violations he got on an illegal hotel. And, sure enough, a top mayoral aide arranged a meeting."
http://nypost.com/2017/08/04/check-out-the-favors-mayor-de-blasio-will-never-do-for-you/
Inadequate solid waste management that leads to visual blight and noise pollution has been a persistent problem going back to Campus Crock, Tishman Speyer and Rose Associates. Blackstone has not improved over it's predecessors. I would hope they will throw some serious innovation dollars into this problem.
ReplyDeleteYou're only stuck as you want to be stuck. You can move, we are. You can keep this,my life, my wife's life much to important to b miserable 24 -7. The disturbance and mold has taken a toll and I ask you, why?
ReplyDeleteThe mattress and other "junk" in that first photo is close to the Management office, btw.
ReplyDeleteIt's an amenity, bro. Free furniture on the 1st and 15th of each month!
It has come to my attention that Stuy Town has begun to rent to the city on a short term basis housing for homeless families. It is being done on a very limited, very hush hush basis to prevent the uproar which is certain to follow when this becomes public knowledge. In other words, Stuy Town has become a glorified welfare hotel.
ReplyDeleteA true win-win situation for the City ( they don't have to pay $500 a night to hotels ), a win for Blackstone ( apartments rented at astronomical prices ), and the long-time residents...NOT...just another example of the fu*k 'em attitude by Management and the pols. Where are you Tenants Association? Garodnick? Hoylman?
This will all come out in the news very shortly.
Your thoughts and comments, STR?
Urine in the stairwell this morning (again). A big puddle on the landing, almost impassable. Thanks SPS.
ReplyDeleteWhy live here? You all hate it so much.
ReplyDeleteIt is Day 27 after the crime and the cover up continues. 27 days after a violent crime in StuyTown with no information, awareness, acknowledgement, new safety measures communicated. Maybe this ongoing crime and cover up has earned a place on the right column hall of shame between the "Thinking of renting here" Yelp item and the Rob Speyer photo.
ReplyDeletehttps://town-village.com/2017/07/27/teens-beat-man-with-hockey-sticks-outside-pcv/
A dozen press articles o how Rob Speyer, NYU Deputy Mayor Shorris and Goldman Sachs Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen are able to run City Hall because de Blasio is napping. Anyone who has ever had a co-worker nap in the office knows about this behavior all too well. Of course City Hall denies this but come on already; it is obvious.
ReplyDelete>>Why live here? You all hate it so much.<<
ReplyDeleteThis question is very easy. Give me enough money, and I will move. So money is the answer.
Aside from money, this place does have certain perks. If quality of life is enforced, of course. I've been more and more "chased" away by noise outside.
ReplyDelete>>It has come to my attention that Stuy Town has begun to rent to the city on a short term basis housing for homeless families.<<
ReplyDeleteI will check this out, but without proof or a news story, there is little I can do.
August 8, 2017 at 7:58 AM
ReplyDeleteBecause if you are RS, you can't afford to live anywhere else.
BTW, one of the things that gets my goat is someone telling a poster over at the TA Facebook: "Have you called PS?" or "Have you called Rick?" This response is frequent.
ReplyDeleteIt is not the job of residents to tell PS or Management what is going on. It is up to people who get PAID to know what is going on.
"It is not the job of residents to tell PS or Management what is going on. It is up to people who get PAID to know what is going on."
ReplyDeleteThank you STR. So sick of being told to inform Rick the Dick or so-called Public Safety. Why can't the TA take these matters up with Rick? What the hell is the purpose of the TA? Does it have any purpose other than having a facebook page for tenants?
"It is not the job of residents to tell PS or Management what is going on. It is up to people who get PAID to know what is going on."
ReplyDeleteYou got that right! We have cameras in every lobby and all over the property and yet people are dumping furniture and getting away with it; moving out at 2 am and getting away with it; leaving building doors propped open for extended periods and getting away with it. We have absolutely no Security/Public Safety here. The least the TA could do is sue to get our MCI for all the security cameras refunded! We have been totally scammed.
"Why live here? You all hate it so much."
ReplyDeleteThere is a difference between "hating a place" and "hating what bad people have done to a good place". Most if not all of the comments I see fall into the latter category.
I was also a bit smart alecky in my response to "hating" this place. To hate something is a pretty strong feeling. I don't "hate" living here, but I do have quite a few strong complaints about this place--which Blackstone should have too! Unfortunately, while Blackstone talks and talks, it does not effectively follow through. It is not too hard to manage this place if you have the resources and the will to enforce. If you don't have the resources (manpower), then hire more and/or better. As for enforcement, same thing goes. And we have all those monitors!
ReplyDeleteThe lack of carpeting is mentioned, but why not do other things, too? Having all those people with suitcases register is simple, though more workers will need to handle the extra work. Stopping delivery people on motorized bikes is simple, too. And you have monitors, too! Okay, so you don't do it every day, but what about choosing a day or the week to stop and turn around these motorized bikes?
A lot of "issues" can be dealt with if there is proper enforcement. And once this property is known for proper enforcement, once residents see that the "change" has arrived, then many of the problems are solved or at least a serious attempt is made to solve them.
As it is, the word is that Management just doesn't care as long as the apartments are filled and the rent is paid.
I wish somebody would send those photographs of the dumped furniture some viral program that would go all over the internet with the announcement that this is how Blackstone runs a residential property. Dumping furniture is what people do in a slum and Blackstone is running this place at the level of a slum. Even the NYCHA projects are better than what we are dealing with here.
ReplyDeleteSTR, can you post those photographs of the dumped furniture on Yelp or Google?
ReplyDeleteI used to love this place.
ReplyDeleteOn many levels I still do.
However the sense of community has been lost.
It is simply a cash cow for Blackstone.
They will rape this place for every last penny.
What enrages me is the cowardice and complicity of the politicians, Danny Boy Garodnick, Diblasio, Hoylman and, of course, our heroic Tenants Association President, Bikini Susan Steinberg.
What a bunch of phonies! They should all be in jail.
What 7:04 is saying does not surprise me. I have a strong feeling that the tenants next door to me are city subsidized . I even heard someone come to the door and say that he was "public assistance". I think that De Blasio is in cahoots with Blackstone. It is hard to prove and even if we did, what could we do about it. It is true that as long as the apartments are filled and the rent is paid by someone, management does not care. If they did they would go through these apartments with a fine-tooth comb. The demo here gets increasingly worse.
ReplyDeleteTenants do not need permission from anyone let alone the TA. Tenants can talk to StuyTown Property Services, or Rick or go above Rick's head whenever tenants chose to do so. The TA is supposed to take tenant matters to the landlord so the tenant is safe from landlord retaliation but since this TA is not fulfilling any of their responsibilities including that one go above them, go around them, don't waste your breath on the TA. Even if the TA fulfilled their duty to take tenant complaints to StuyTown Property Services it is probably better to avoid them because one cannot be sure they will protect the tenant's anonymity seeing as the TA admitted their admiration and close 'n' cozy relationship with StuyTown Property Services.
ReplyDeleteCan tenants file a lawsuit against the TA for access to the financial books?
ReplyDeleteI don't see how you can stop a motorized bike flying by. Unless you chase him to a building and lock the bike down, but you need to be a member of PD. Most of the PS guys don't have the pd shield just Stuytown.
ReplyDeleteYou can stop motorized bikes easily. First, you don't have one PS officer standing around, which usually happens. At least have two in one area. If the bike still goes by, then you have the 24/7 monitors which are suppose to see all. You have a couple of PS officers monitoring those monitors and in communication with the PS officers stopping, or trying to, motorized bikes. That combo, boots on the ground (and not just one), plus the monitors connected to boots on the ground will soon find out who the lawbreakers are. And their restaurant. Wash and repeat, as many times as you need.
ReplyDeleteI offered my services, free, to PS.
>>Can tenants file a lawsuit against the TA for access to the financial books?<<
ReplyDeleteMaybe.
>>STR, can you post those photographs of the dumped furniture on Yelp or Google?<<
ReplyDeleteI've tried Yelp, and most have been taken down.
Oh, and Management knows about this dumping.
ReplyDeleteI remember Adam Rose (the other Adam Rose) making bedbugs and uncovered mattresses a priority. I don't get that same impression now.
ReplyDeleteAdam Rose was a RE management professional, not a resort entertainment director. Rick should go back to Boca and work on entertainment for old geezers.
ReplyDeleteAugust 8, 2017 at 9:41 PM To call a spade, a spade, he did not care about the tenants, property, cleanliness, quality of life, mattresses and bedbugs. He made it a priority so he could target specific tenants with false charges of bed bugs for false public nuisance complaints in an eviction fraud scam that property management was running with some on the tenant association board.
ReplyDeleteBefore anyone starts whining and crying for the tenant association, here is a reminder that the tenant association admits to colluding with admiration and gratitude for the Rose Associates aka Ivanhoe Cambridge CW Capital Compass Rock aka Blackstone - Ivanhoe Cambridge Stuy Town Property Services actions and inactions all along. They were and are in it together up to their necks and beyond.

Who exactly is the partner of the TA? Brookfield is nothing more than a mass of real estate brokers who are members of the Canadian Real Estate Association. Sounds like a Canadian REBNY of sorts. That is who the TA partnered with on the recommendation of the City Councilman and his law firm Paul Weiss and of course the puppetmaster REBNY.

There are only three words to describe this place......
ReplyDeleteTHIS PLACE BLOWS.
Missing 5 out of 6 wagons in the laundry mat room in 19 stuy oval. Called RS and they said there was nothing they could do. This place is a joke! AND Management knows exactly what is going on here and could care less, as long as they they are getting their $4,500.00/month
ReplyDeleterent checks. We are ALL caught in the crossfire. AND I don't care about this place anymore and also the people that surround me.
This post is geared to Real R/S tenants who have subleted their apt.Don't mean to change the subject, but I was wondering if anyone thought I might have a problem subletting my apt for 5 months and 3 weeks each year for as long as I like. The law states that one can sublet for 2 years in any 4 year period. Does it have to be 2 years straight? I realize that my dump needs to be my primary residence which is why I intend on staying here one week over 6 months every year.
ReplyDeleteAs many have already stated, I too also despise living here but I'm trapped due to the affordability of my rent. I would like to, for at least 6 months a year, live like a human being somewhere.
Adam Rose (the other one) knew what he was doing. He was a professional. Can't say that for the current property manager.
ReplyDeleteMis-Management knows EVERYTHING that goes on here!
ReplyDelete>>This post is geared to Real R/S tenants who have subleted their apt.<<
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide, get it in writing. More than one "authority," if possible.
>>Missing 5 out of 6 wagons in the laundry mat room in 19 stuy oval. Called RS and they said there was nothing they could do.<<
ReplyDeleteThough they have eyes 24/7....
It is legal to Airbnb for longer than 30 days according to Liz Krueger law. Or do one of those corporate subleases management does for corporate travelers who need a place for their employees to stay because apparently that is legal. But before doing this make sure to check with a lawyer to make sure your lease and the current Airbnb and corporate housing laws are followed.
ReplyDeleteThough they have eyes 24/7....
ReplyDeleteQuestion is to where or upon whom are those 24/7 eyes pointed and prying
>>August 8, 2017 at 9:41 PM To call a spade, a spade, he did not care about the tenants, property, cleanliness, quality of life, mattresses and bedbugs.

ReplyDeleteEh, I disagree. Adam Rose (the other one, if we are talking about him) may have been concerned about the landlord making money, but he was also concerned about the property. I still remember him monitoring in person some of the concerts and that they were not too loud, the noise from which residents were complaining about. Yes, the "amenities" still continued, but it seems that Rose had more of a handle on things, but I could be wrong. It's been a few years.
As I said, this place can work if the will and the priority are there. The "rules" should be enforced.
ReplyDeleteThere is soo much wrong with this place, that's it's mind boggling. What a shame.
ReplyDeleteSecurity is still pretty good when emergencies occur. That's the only thing I like about this place, other than that, they can stick my rent check up their !#*#!'s!!
@7:20 am, sorry, but I don't buy that nonsense at all. I don't think Rose Associates and the TA were in any kind of conspiracy whatsoever, and I liked Adam Rose. He was responsive to tenants' complaints and concerns, and that is something you could never accuse the current management of being!
ReplyDeleteThe letter in T&V was written by a former TA leader expressing his sycophantic silliness and should be ignored. There are so many conspiracy theories put out on this blog and much as I dislike the TA, I don't go along with the cloak-and-dagger nonsense that gets spewed here.
I used to see Adam Rose walking around the property and he did not attract attention like the Wonderful Rick; he just walked around quietly taking in what was happening. When I had a problem with a bunch of assholes in a neighboring apartment, he assigned someone to take care of it and they did take care of it. I had dealt with the infamous Donalda and told AR I would not deal with her anymore and he was very sympathetic and actually helped me a great deal. I never met him personally, but I knew what he looked like and that's why I recognized him when I saw him walking around the property, looking like a tenant rather than a manager. As STR said, he would walk around and take in everything. I think he was a very nice guy and a real professional.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why so many of the dead wood in the management office were kept on, but maybe they had contracts or were in a union.
"As I said, this place can work if the will and the priority are there. The "rules" should be enforced."
ReplyDeleteAgreed. If we had a professional management team and a real TA, this place could be wonderful. The current TA should just disband and go away because it is a totally obsolete and useless entity at this point. I think it's true that some of the TA board members are in bed with management and Garodnick and that is why their ability and desire to represent the tenants is so compromised. There should be a major housecleaning at the TA or it should just cease to exist.
Rick's ass doesn't need any more kisses. It needs a few kicks.
Still nothing on the hockey stick attack. That guy Steve is getting on Sabina pretty hard, and she still has no comment.
ReplyDeleteThe TA and T&V are both in bed with management. I have no doubt in my mind anymore!
"....as long as they they are getting their $4,500.00/month"
ReplyDeleteAnyone who pays that amount to live here is a sucker, plain and simple. I pay less than a third of that for a real 2 bedroom and I feel cheated. I can't imagine how stupid one would need to be to pay that price.
The "rules" will never be enforced, and everyone knows it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a few of the familiar faces at the TA Facebook page are finally calling the TA out for their inaction in terms of just about everything on this property.
ReplyDeleteI really would like for a one-on-one sit down interview with STR and Susan Steinberg. That would probably be your best post to date STR!
To: 8/8/6:51 Am
ReplyDeleteSo glad someone else appreciates what I'm feeling every day. It's just not worth it.
BTW: Are you moving out of state or nearby?
The rules cannot be enforced anymore due to the chaotic and ever worsening rental policies. Increased churning is leading to increased garbage on the property and escalating QOL issues.
ReplyDeleteThe aggressive tactics are not a "conspiracy theory". They are fact. Rose Associates did this to hundreds, thousands of residents.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/27/nyregion/27stuyvesant.html
Today a well dressed man was sleeping on a bench in PCV during his lunch break. I think he works in the VA. He comes in here to enjoy his lunch & sleep. As he was " resting " a PS came by & did nothing. Really!! This man does this frequently. I was very tempted to say something to him but did not. What is going on here ??? Is anything enforced ??????
ReplyDelete>>The aggressive tactics are not a "conspiracy theory". They are fact. Rose Associates did this to hundreds, thousands of residents.<<
ReplyDeleteYes, Rose represented Management and wanted to get out as many people who didn't belong here legally. The orders were from Management, and Management went overboard. First Tishman-Speyer, and then CW. But that is not the point, unless we want to visit old wounds.
5:04 PM, I remember that time very well. I remember that Hatzzman guy who tried to drive out a lady who suffered from CP and had got behind with her rent. It was the home she was born and raised in and her funds, left to her by her parents, had gone down thanks to the crooks on Wall Street who tanked the economy. The NYT special fund came to her rescue. I haven't seen that lady in a while. I hope she's ok.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of the longtime tenants in my building were harassed by that goon and had to dig up divorce papers, have ex spouses testify that they (the tenants) weren't living with them elsewhere. Such rotten bastards should burn in hell.
adam rose was super helpful with the problem of sty Pcv
ReplyDelete"adam rose was super helpful with the problem of sty Pcv"
ReplyDeleteThat's why TS and CWC hated him. He was replaced with Compass Crock and we all know how that went.
There is no doubt that there was an overreach by previous managements in getting RS people out. Before he disappeared from this community (in a manner of speaking), Dan Gardonick had the figures and so did the TA, before the TA disappeared. I think the percentage of residents who fought and won to stay as RS tenants in this complex was higher than those who chose to leave, and some of the latter did not want to put up a fight. That said, someone who has a house in the Hampton's should not be living here as someone who has very little money. There were scams going on in "this side" too. But, as I said, there were residents who were falsely accused. No naming of names, as some are still around, and I don't want to revisit and debate old battles. But I do acknowledge that things were not rosy (no pun intended) as they may seem.
ReplyDelete"That said, someone who has a house in the Hampton's should not be living here as someone who has very little money."
ReplyDeleteAlthough legally one can STR. So this is your personal opinion?
Having said that, let me reiterate, particularly as I have been driven out again from the Oval area this morning by the incessant noisy of smelly lawnmowers because the grounds here, in the Oval area, must look pristine: Try to write down and document the violations on your lease. Everyone's case will be different.
ReplyDelete>>"That said, someone who has a house in the Hampton's should not be living here as someone who has very little money."
ReplyDeleteAlthough legally one can STR. So this is your personal opinion?<<
I think it comes down to false reporting to the landlord.
To continue: "Primary residence" is the key, too. If this place is not one's primary residence, then, as Bloomberg would say, "What are you doing here?" I believe many, if not all, had to prove that PCVST was their "primary residence."
ReplyDeleteT&V had a bs comment about the hockey stick attack. It's in the comment section of one of the recent posts.
ReplyDeleteNot in this neighborhood, but it is happening all over the city. And the city's Department of Buildings okayed the demolition.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.brooklyneagle.com/articles/2017/6/6/judge-decides-end-temporary-ban-our-lady-loretos-demolition
On the hockey stick front, there has been some slight movement. This from the T&V comment section:
ReplyDelete>>Steve, first we’d have to find out who the victim is though we don’t usually get that info or disclose that when we do. We are trying to learn more. When suspects are minors their identities are not shared with us by the NYPD, which means we don’t know when their court dates are or even if they’re going to criminal court or through some other system.<<
Of course, you know what I think about disclosing info about "minors," who just happen to be teenagers. Given that, there is still no further info about this attack.
What is, for instance, Management doing about it? Or PS? Or the TA?
ReplyDeleteYeah, ask, and I will, but it is not a resident who should call, it is the three entities who should be informing us of something....
For instance, if identifying is the issue, then at least let us know if the attackers were from PCV or Stuy Town? What about the person attacked?
ReplyDeleteIs this privileged information?
Blackstone is very secretive about a lot of things. For instance,their renting policies. I don' t care how much they deny it--they have deals with NYU, the city, and air bnb like entities. They spout a lot of fake PR
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one living in PCV , near Avenue C- who is hearing more & more seaplanes taking off & landing?? I know it's summer & prime season, but it's becoming very, very noisy !!! What gives?
ReplyDeleteAugust 10, 2017 at 2:13 PM this is not surprising given the cozy relationship between politician appointed judges in the courts and the real estate developers. It begs the question why would anyone in their right mind use the courts to go up against a landlord or developers. It was also not surprising that no landlord has ever been convicted of harassment or any of the worse crimes that landlords commit against tenants. No tenant ever wins against guilty landlords in 20 years tells a lot about the deeply entrenched ubiquitous court bias and sends a clear dire message to tenants "don't even try it."
ReplyDeleteThe word, which you can take to the bank, is the crime was not committed by teenagers of our residents. We don't yet know other details, but even the hockey sticks and masks are in dispute. I will try to make the next 13 Precinct neighborhood meeting to find out more.
ReplyDeleteI took a slight detour to check out the new gym, around late afternoon. Again, as previous, not many people present. I would say 4 or 5 in the entire playground, max. No one was running.
ReplyDelete"I took a slight detour to check out the new gym, around late afternoon. Again, as previous, not many people present. I would say 4 or 5 in the entire playground, max. No one was running."
ReplyDeleteI saw a few squirrels running around it. They seemed to be enjoying themselves!
Yesterday's Oval movie was incredibly loud. I had my window open to take on the cool breeze and the movie sounds were quite annoying. They can keep their non-amenities and they have nerve imposing them on Oval residents.
ReplyDeleteI'm still yet to see a single person using the fitness playground. Other than looking good for leasing prospects, it has been a failure in terms usage.
ReplyDelete>>Yesterday's Oval movie was incredibly loud.<<
ReplyDeleteI think a segment of residents have to "suck up" the Oval amenities like the movies and the concerts. The movies and concerts are too good for promotional reasons. That is the thinking inside, very inside, the box, even though the actual tenants who are at these amenities is very, very small when compared to the actual number of residents living here.
Of course, the residents who live at the Oval and who are disturbed by the noise can put down every incident and its time. I believe the landlord says something about noise in the lease. If so, and this noise is atypical, then....
ReplyDeleteThose movies and "concerts"on the Oval remind me of when the FBI tried to drive the folks at Wakko into surrender by blasting them with loud, ugly music. It didn't work, as we know,, but it was a method of torture the Feds tried.
ReplyDeleteJust come out, all you Oval dwellers, with your hands raised above your heads!
ya'll know if the renov of the wall yard outside of the Vets Hosp ending ever, in this decade - pretty fuckin sick of living on 23rd and hearing the volume of noise from the machine digging truck.
ReplyDeleteI saw Rick walk over to the concert last night and snap a few pictures and videos with his phone. The best part was that there were like 20 people at the time (it got a little more crowded) and he positioned himself to make the crowd look much bigger than it was, obviously for marketing these farces and making them look like they are attended by more people than they really are.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, on the TA Facebook page, a father posted a note that was sent to him about having his kid on the fitness playground. This is all nice and good, but at the bottom of my list in terms of things that management needs to be enforcing. If McClellan can send out letters about this, how about tenants who leave doors propped open? Steal laundry carts? Leave unwrapped mattresses lying around? Move in and out at all hours of the night? Don't have carpeting?
Unless I'm mistaken, and as of yesterday I wasn't, there are no DOB filings listed on the M or T levels of my building regarding the work and noise coming from apartments on the 3rd and 1st floor. Is this lack a common problem in other buildings?
ReplyDeleteIt seems that our landlord doesn't care that much. A lawsuit, even if successful (and certainly time-consuming and money depleting) is not going to do much to make our landlord cry. On the contrary, even if the "win" is a thousand dollars, the sum is made up by one month's rent from one new resident. Why worry, thinks our landlord?
ReplyDeleteAugust 11, 2017 at 9:53 AM The landlords want tenants to take them to court for harassment so they can bully, intimidate, and cost tenants a lot of money while harassing them in the courts, prying into their privacy even further knowing no New York City Judge will convict a landlord of harassment. The landlords win every case in housing court because there is only one of two outcomes - tenant ordered to pay landlord so landlord gets a lot of money from tenant or tenant evicted/landlord gets apartment from tenant. The housing courts sections are set up so one sided all the cases are brought on by landlords. There are zero cases brought on by tenants in entire sections of housing courts purposely set up for landlords to harass tenants with litigation. When your landlord or anyone advises you to file a harassment suit they are giving you harmful advice that will only serve to help the landlord harass you more and cost you loss of money while Judges are annoyed at your existence and berate you for costing the landlord money each time their lawyer has to appear in the courts. Before anyone files harassment against the landlord, research the courts records and think twice!

ReplyDeleteI just looked at the TA Facebook. While I have not been at this former playground on the weekend, where I predicted the use would be greater, I have seen it several times on the weekdays, and the new outdoor gym was underused. I still would like to know if the cheerleaders on the TA are using it and running the wavy track. LOL.
That aside, I was disheartened but not surprised to read: "Nor did the Public Safety officer ask for our names, key cards, or ID."
I can't fault the rules being enforced, but are they really enforced?
It is perplexing how much coverage these two scandalous real estate deals get while not a mention anywhere of the StuyTown dirty deal. Although Rivington is still under investigation, all these "investigations" seem more like pretense that end with a predetermined no criminal charges or no evidence of crime. Rivington is a shameful disgrace of historic proportion and the email in this article shows the Mayor's true intent and love for developers while hurting constituent's communities.
ReplyDelete"The emails from 1199 on the subject started in January of 2015.
When the first sale went through, City Hall quickly notified the union. In February of 2015, a City Hall aide wrote: "We completed the Rivington House transaction late this afternoon. Many thanks to you for your help."
Finnegan responded with: "Yahoo!"
LICH is a sham scam deal that robbed the community but hey, there was a great handcuff photo opp used to fool the public before he pulled the plug on the community's hospital so Yahoo!
Thank you to NY1 for keeping City Hall on notice and the Public informed with the FOIL.

ReplyDeleteSPS Makes it Easy to Be a Responsible Dog Owner
Dogs make so many people's lives better in so many ways. While this is hard to deny, uncleaned dog waste can be both an unsightly and unsanitary condition. StuyTown Property Services (SPS) has recently purchased "Doggie Spritz" water bottles for resident dog owners to squirt and dilute dog urine and residue when walking their pups.
Dog owners can pick up a bottle free of charge at Resident Services (276 1st Avenue Loop), the PCV Kiosk (22nd and 1st), or at upcoming Dog Days events. Help SPS make PCVST a cleaner property for everyone

Get rid of the dogs, and your dog problem is solved. Simple.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of the students, your student problem is solved. Simple.
But we know THAT ain't gunna happen.
Churn baby, churn. Keep on delivering those partitions and chopping up these apartments.
It gets worse as each day passes. Have a nice day All!
10:08 am: If we had a TA that would act on behalf of tenants who are in the right, but are being bullied by the landlord we would be a lot better off. I wouldn't mind paying $100 per year for membership of the TA IF they actually did something to buffer tenants from landlord's bullying and making life miserable for tenants.

He'll soon have Sean Spicer working for him and telling the world that every resident in Sty/PCV was at the movies in the Oval and that tenants are lining up to use the new outdoor gym and that the Five Turd EColi Cafe is having to take reservations and hire extra serving staff! You go Rick! Just don't make Scaramucci the Tenant Liaison person!
But STR, 8000+ lanyard stops!! Believe almighty Rick!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I have yet to see a single stop either. Sometimes I purposely don't put the lanyard on my dog and walk her through the oval to see what happens. Still never been stopped.

I concur. It really is a useless idea. I can see our dog owners squatting down and spraying! A very few may do that, but primarily there will be no change from what went before.
Can't wait to move ouuta here!
ReplyDeleteThey installed underground sprinklers system throughout the entire property with hose access so the groundskeepers can easily hook up a hose anywhere on the property along the sidewalks and hose them down. How hard would it be for the groundskeepers to hose down the walkways in the mornings and the evenings? It seems like such a simple task.
ReplyDeleteReal dumb idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rick, you're brain is truly churning.
Brilliant August 11, 2017 at 2:19 PM. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteYou're all seriously annoying. Complaining complaining. Let's form our own TA.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the big fucking deal in doing so?
It annoys me that managements newer suggestions translate into "do my job for me"
ReplyDeleteMy walk this morning:
ReplyDelete5:00AM, Saturday, August 12th
Two HUGE beasts, (a bull mastiff and a great dane perhaps?)squatting down next to each other right in front of the 5 Turd eColi Café, their owners happily chatting away with each other.
They both took a massive sh*t, the boulders the size of one of those glaciers that break off and fall into the ocean in the Arctic.
At that very moment, one of the Public Safety vehicles was leisurely driving around the Oval RIGHT by them.
Did they stop and say anything?
Surely I jest! Of course they didn't.
The two dog owners chuckled, walked away, leaving their canines' droppings for the early morning breakfastiers at the 5 Turd eColi Café.
YUMMY!
"We'll have another one of these tasty artisanal pastries please.
Hmmm...what a funny odor".
Hahaha...would be funny if it weren't so sad.
Bon apetit!
How hard would it be for the groundskeepers to hose down the walkways in the mornings and the evenings? It seems like such a simple task.
ReplyDeleteGood idea. But why burden the staff with this? How about a requirement for all registered dog owners to do 10 hours a year on cleanup duty? You get to meet and mingle with your local canine compadres whilst performing the pleasant task of tidying up all those piss puddles!
August 11 didn't the market rate tenants already try to do that and fail?
ReplyDeleteDid Chowes help any tenants living on the Oval? She says she wants to help other tenants in her T&V. What was the verdict of the cases of the tenants she helped and STR do you know yet if it was "landlord - tenant" court?
ReplyDeleteWhat I do know is that Chowes got some money, via her lawyer. I don't not know if she wanted to help tenants at the Oval, whatever that help means, but the light was shed by her not to just take things because management says so or acts a certain way. Though it is not simple to stand up for oneself, the fact is that there are city rules that should be obeyed and rights that tenants do have.
ReplyDeleteAlso I do know that it can be hard for Management to get rid of certain people. The city has protections, even some we can argue with.
By now I think I have personally spoken to everyone who is in charge here or right below, and the response has always been the same: "Yes, we agree, but you should know that we have.... (fill in the blanks)." So, the response to residents is that Management is doing everything they can to make sure the rules work. My response is simple and stated here many times. I will report what I see and not what I am told I should see. Big difference. I also offered a challenge, which still has not been taken up: Sit with me and experience the same things, or, if you are right, things being taken care of.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, Management past and present knows who I am, as they have made it a point to know via their monitor system. So it is not just the folks at the new gym who are being monitored. I guess the monitors do work if.... (And now you fill in the blanks.)
They have those goofy concerts and movie nights on the Oval, but there hasn't been any spraying to kill mosquitoes around here. There's already been one death from West Nile Virus in NY. MetLife always used to have the property sprayed. With all the rain we've had, as well as the watering system we have here, mosquitoes have a very thriving existence in PCVST. Maybe Rick thinks West Nile and Zika only occur in places like Florida and he doesn't have to worry about it here.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous Fido Just Took a Massive Sh*t said..
ReplyDeletePictures? I mean you spent all that much time watching them.
Because, I was jogging the oval at that time and there were no dogs shitting or otherwise.
Stuy Town guy at least takes pictures to prove the insanity.
I think anonymously lying is also massively shitty. No *** needed.
"So it is not just the folks at the new gym who are being monitored. I guess the monitors do work if.... (And now you fill in the blanks.)"
ReplyDeleteThey don't monitor the slobs who don't pick up their dog shit; who steal the laundry carts; who dump household waste in the recycling room; and, the rolling luggage hotel guests coming and going. This so-called "management" is shit. A bunch of inept losers, just like TS and CR. In fact, I think the same lazy bastards who worked for TS and CR are still on the payroll. New owner, same employees adds up to nothing changes.
Yes, the market rate TA attempt seems to have failed. If I know more and get an invite to an alternate TA, I will join in a heartbeat.
ReplyDelete"And, yes, Management past and present knows who I am, as they have made it a point to know via their monitor system."
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you haven't gone home and found a horse's head in your bed, STR.

ReplyDeletethe MR TA? Odd title. Aren't we all living with the same landlord. Sigh, STR, some posts are just tiring.
ReplyDeletePer T&V on July 20, 2015
ReplyDelete"Still, Chow said she’s satisfied with the outcome of the fight. “My goal is to help others if I can,” Chow, who once worked as a paralegal, said."
It would help to know what others she has helped in the past 2 years and what the court said on those noise cases and what court was used, especially if they are Oval residents with all the noise from Oval concerts and the hockey rink or any of the southside, north side, east side construction noise areas.
And there you have it. The reason each and every politician named in this article sold out NYC land parcels to Tishman Speyer and Blackstone and developers. They all want to be the one who unseats and replaces Trump and they all see themselves easily winning the next Presidential election thus all their national PR platforms like Airbnb.

Just another Garodnick/TA Board troll practicing character assassination, lying and deliberately misquoting Caryn Chow, whose PCVST resident experience and court victory expose long term Garodnick/TA Board malfeasance.
https://town-village.com/2015/07/20/stuy-town-woman-gets-partial-rent-abatement-for-construction-noise/#comments
Chow received a temporary “30% rent abatement” and said, among other things during her T&V interview, “My goal is to help others if I can.” She was describing her personal philosophical outlook. She never mentioned anything about helping tenants assaulted by noise on the Oval, or helping other tenants generally, or helping tenants with their court cases – problems similarly harmed tenants should anticipate help with from Garodnick and/or TA Board, both of whom Chow dismissed as worse than useless.
Chow’s story reveals Garodnick/TA Board STANDING BY DOING NOTHING for years while CWC diverted disaster relief $$$$$$$ away from what it was intended for - protecting the entire PCVST complex (our 11,227 homes) against future storms (see storm wall encircling VA Hospital). Instead, CWC needlessly constructed a mostly underground office building along 1st Avenue, chopping down trees, shaking buildings, polluting and permanently degrading QOL for an entire section of PCVST residents. Throughout that time Garodnick and his puppet, our hijacked TA Board, STOOD BY DOING NOTHING, ignoring and tamping down resident complaints because they thought our incredibly conflicted TA Board’s business partner Brookfield would inherit a brand new office building free of cost and free of blame.
In response to comments posted on T&V about Garodnick/TA Board failing to support her, Chow provided direction:
Caryn Chow says:

Thank you for that and also that I misspelled her last name. It's Chow.
ReplyDelete"With all the rain we've had, as well as the watering system we have here, mosquitoes have a very thriving existence in PCVST. Maybe Rick thinks West Nile and Zika only occur in places like Florida and he doesn't have to worry about it here"
ReplyDeleteGood point. I had my window open a little bit last night and woke up covered in bites this morning! I managed to kill all the mosquitoes, but I am itching to death! They really should spray this place. Maybe I'll call 311 tomorrow and see if the City can make misManagement do the right thing. I know one thing for sure, if I had little kids I wouldn't want them playing outside anywhere on the property with all the mosquitoes we have here. I'm surprised the Moms and the pregnant ladies haven't complained because if a mosquito has Zika virus, it will cause terrible birth defects. I know there have been West Nile cases in NYC, but I don't know if any Zika cases have been reported.

ReplyDeleteEven if she said she would help everyone by the oval, that is not her job. That is the job of Dan Garodnick and our TA, and they failed her and every tenant that has been affected by the allowed (by Dan and the TA).
If you ask me, you are a TA board member or Dan's little minion, because why in the hell would someone question a tenant who fought on their own? If you ask me, she lived up to her word and helped every person living by the oval by showing them that can fight the landlord and win. And you can do it without our incompetent TA and corrupt councilman.
August 14 @ 9:43 AM: If you ask me, you are damned right!
ReplyDeleteChow doesn't have to do a damn thing more. If she helps herself to a rent reduction, bravo. As I said, we have the ability to do something similar but our circumstances should be different.
ReplyDeleteI really hate living here.
ReplyDeleteOr a tenant or tenants could hire her.
ReplyDeleteEveryone take a deep breath and let's look at some facts before jumping down each others throats. In Reference all the above posts on the T&V article on the tenant who supposedly according to T&V got a partial rent abatement due to noise it does not seem unreasonable for August 12 to ask for more information and it does not seem that August 12 is making any judgements. More information is a good thing.
In reference to these two comments let's gather more information and not pass any judgements. A lot of tenants are suffering from poor quality of life issues so the more information we have, the better we all are.

Facts:
According to the tenant's own websites it is her job to help others and she is a highly successful "expert" at helping others. It is not her direct job responsibility as it is for the TA and councilman Dan Garodick, but it is her job by trade.
In her words, she is a highly successful television personality on network television who lives a life of luxury flying on private jets and even piloting private jets herself. According to her own words,her "job" is too help others and her high level of success at her job affords her a luxury lifestyle.
When a successful "coach" tells a newspaper she wants to help others, it does not seem unreasonable for others to ask for more information about her helping others.
She had or has a call in radio show for giving coaching help and advice on iheart radio, maybe tenants could call in for help or hire her.

Everybody is responsible for themselves and under no obligation to help their neighbors. If someone helps their neighbor, then they are a better person than most but do so with caution there are some who take advantage of others kindness.
ReplyDeleteAs to the laundry, right now the topic at the TA Facebook, with the lot of huffing and puffing. (And admonitions to be kind. LOL.) Circumstances can be different for different people, but it makes sense not to hog all the machines, no matter what your circumstances. It's just being a "good neighbor."
ReplyDelete>> A lot of tenants are suffering from poor quality of life issues so the more information we have, the better we all are.<<
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter. And Chow can do what she likes, when she likes. She is under ZERO obligation to anyone.
We all have to stand up for ourselves, if we want to. Or we can back down. A lot of people either have given up here or don't care. Some are in the middle. More information can be nice, but it is not demanded.
Also I am very aware that internet websites can say one thing and that a false impression can be received. Not saying this is true of Chow, but be aware that the selling of a person does not mean the truth of that person or his/her circumstances.
The following does relate to Chow. She can be contacted and asked how to "deal" with Stuy Town.... I would assume she charges something, as that is her coaching business.
ReplyDeleteLOL. It's just too priceless, and I figured we'd see this. From "Peter Stuyvesant" over at that laundry thread at the TA Facebook:
ReplyDelete"Comments are now closed for this post."
WIMPS!
Well good then, that is a win win for her business and for tenants looking to fight noise complaints in the courts. Done with the thread..moving on..vacation time.
ReplyDeletePeter Stuyvesant has time to post and shut down comment threads on Facebook. That is pretty much all they do.
ReplyDeleteMr. TA Marsh came out of his shell to comment on the laundry thread. Maybe he could comment on the incompetence of his old compadres at the TA. Actually he started this downward spiral of the TA, so nevermind.
ReplyDeleteMarsh usually only interjects if there is some profane language (tsk tsk) or if somebody says something negative about his hero, DeBlasio.

standing water on roof breeding mosquitos and contagion?
4:08 PM, we have a bumper crop of mosquitos this year and I'm surprised that they haven't sprayed something to help keep them down. MetLife always did. Maybe when one of the many pregnant ladies gets bitten and starts worrying about Zika Virus and birth defects, there will be some kind of action. If there is standing water on the roof, we could get Legionnaires Disease. This whole place is a festering pustule waiting to burst and spew poison. But we have the new outdoor gym and concerts and movies on the Oval, so what do we have to complain about?
