I recognize that, and I'm not out to "get" anyone.<br /><br />That said, I can only go by what my eyes see and not go by too much the explanations from Blackstone. (I call these explanations "excuses," but I'll let the matter drop for now.)<br /><br />This is what I see when I go outside: Five minutes do not go by (and I'm being generous; I'd say less time)--five minutes do not go by in which I see one of the "rules" being broken. Management and its reps may claim differently, but this is WHAT I SEE. I have photos to prove it, but I can and will have more.<br /><br />Basically, this property is not being run the way it should be run. The "rules" are there, but the rules are not being enforced with any visible frequency. I think that everybody who is aware and cares knows this.Stuy Town Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538426011607971633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-79999276509153637552017-04-22T00:30:01.144-04:002017-04-22T00:30:01.144-04:00PS and Management don't give a rat's ass a...PS and Management don't give a rat's ass about the quality of life here. All Management cares about is money. PS has to follow Management's instructions. We used to have a very highly qualified and high quality Security Department here, but Managements since MetLife have cut their balls off and make them do the absolute minimum when it comes to Quality of Life enforcement. It's really not the fault of PS; it's the fault of money-hungry "Management" that cherishes profit over safety, decent QOL and enforcement of weak-as-water rules. <br /><br />Bottom line: we are on our own here. We have a Management that does not manage (except to rake in the gelt) and a PS/Security force that has been castrated and reduced to the level of mall cops. Rick and his crew should return to Boca and take care of some assisted living place for little old Jewish retirees who only care that the iced tea is really cold and the bagels are fresh. They could take care of that kind of scene with utmost competency. Put them in charge of a diverse, multi-cultural, all-across-the-spectrum of New Yorkers and they are lost.<br /><br />No matter how much they want to turn this place into a dedicated dorm, they are not going to achieve that unless they kick out all of the tenants who are not of the dorm demo, and there are a lot - and I mean a lot - of people here who do not fall into that demo. Those of us who are not of the dorm demo will continue to complain and dig our heels in and demand respect and consideration unless and until they change their attitude. We are not all senior citizens on the brink of death. Some of us (many of us) are hard-working, middle-class folk who are here a long time and are raising children and (hopefully) grandchildren here. We are NOT going to move out and we are not going to just lie down and take the shit that is hurled in our direction by this poor excuse for a management company. Tishman Speyer and CWC couldn't beat us down and it will take a hell of a lot more than a bunch of arseholes from Boca to do that! <br /><br />Sure, we don't have a Tenants Association any more and our "community" rag, T&V is a tool of Management, but we should not be underestimated in our resolve and innate New York core of toughness to withstand and prevail over even the shittiest of Managements and corrupt politicians.

No, they continue on their way around the Oval. The next few minutes a guy on another Citibank bicycle passes him the opposite way. Does the PS guard say anything?... No. Next... I see a delivery guy on a bicycle. For some reason, I'm giving the PS guard some slack. He's kinda new. But now the delivery guy must be stopped. Surely.

To date the 13th precinct hasn't issued one ticket to either group despite resident complaints. It's important to note that the commanding officer of the 13th is referred to by insiders in the NYPD as a "legacy". In other words, he got his job from family connections not ability and we all suffer because of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-52584381789953067852017-04-20T16:03:17.828-04:002017-04-20T16:03:17.828-04:00when you called 13th nipped, did they show up and ...when you called 13th nipped, did they show up and knock on door or what exactly. i have same next door, but the tenants who smoke pot, won't answer door.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-20211516856657607562017-04-20T15:00:28.727-04:002017-04-20T15:00:28.727-04:00"I was "banned for life" (their wor..."I was "banned for life" (their words) from the TA website because I called them out for their BS."<br /><br />What BS did you call them out on?

I guess you must be one of those Blackstone/SPS trolls who don't want anything to be on record or done to improve the QOL here"<br /><br />LOL, I see nothing posted here. Regardless: you're totally missing the point. you are a moron if you think that "response," which you could have written yourself, means anything substantive. Of course the NYPD put in their little police blotter that they took action to fix the condition. that's how they wrap up these community issues that they don't actually waste their time on.<br />Are you seriously advocating calling 911 for a noise complaint? The 311 internet site specifically states to call 911 for a LIFE THREATENING situation. You do not call 911 for someone playing music or moving furniture. <br />(To the other poster--you're also missing the point. I've called 911 for drug use outside the building. And yes, they eventually respond. Not the same as a noise complaint.)<br /><br />And I very much doubt: Have you even called 911? ever, in your life? the first thing they say is "state your emergency." You then respond, "I hear someone loudly moving furniture and their kids are running up and down the hallway." the operator curses you out for wasting her time and hangs up. In fact, It's a crime to call 911 if you don't have a genuine emergency. the noise is annoying. but no one is in danger and no one is being killed. (unless I go upstairs and throttle the people who keep stomping around their goddamn apartment. which I have weighed the pros and cons of doing.)<br /><br />You seriously sound like some 15 year old boy typing in a basement talking about your "contacts" at the 13th precinct. How old are you? Go ask a grownup before you use the phone next time.<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-69676519014977049942017-04-20T11:54:42.270-04:002017-04-20T11:54:42.270-04:00The wheels turn slowly, but they do turn.

So by clicking “Start”, the 311 link then gives you the option to report “Noise – Residential”. Again, I have confirmed via the 311 email confirms and a direct verbal response from the 13th's front desk that the 13th will respond. You are saying that they don't.
