So I guess that the operators of the illegal food truck and the illegal market are not considered to be adults and their operations are also considered to be child's play. <br /><br />The probelm with Security and its management by McClellan is that most of them have to judgement and to the extent that they do exercise judgment it is most poor.

First, even people living here for 20 years didn't know that free storage was available. Second, if ending the free storage is indeed found to be diminution of services, rents would have to be rolled back and future MCIs could not be granted. <br /><br />But I agree that the TA has been MIA too many times, and I'd like to know what all those new board members are actually doing. At least a few of them do want to buy this place--they're one-trick ponies.

I am sure that Mr. Garodnick was being generous to his ally Al Doyle when he mentioned them in his letter but I gaurantee you he was writing that letter because of the flak he got on this website and because of the group of tenants who took matters into their own hands instead of waiting for the TA to write another strong letter, not because of the TA. The trunk room issue affects what 1/100th or 1/1000th of the tenants here, so great job TA you really scored big on that one. Finally, thank God that the TA and Mr. Garodnick were stopped and will be stopped cold in their quest to become owners.

I hope someone sooner or later realizes what we need is a sane plan to take this community into co-op. Tenants will become owners, then we'll be the ones telling whatever management company we like how to run things. The downside is, of course, all the folks getting a free ride on rent will have to step up and become owners, but the upside is we won't be at the mercy of Tishman, CW, or whomever will be next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-54964962034680728602011-11-16T15:59:56.460-05:002011-11-16T15:59:56.460-05:00Gee, it would be nice for "Anonymous" wh...Gee, it would be nice for "Anonymous" who sounds like they're speaking for the Tenants Association to identify themselves.

As noted in his letter to the Department of City Planning seeking their opinion on the commercialization issues, Dan Garodnick said he was writing at the request of leaders of the TA. The TA also sent a strong letter to Rose about the ice rink objecting to this unprecedented imposition of a charge to use open space and the imposition this eyesore makes on the community as a whole and the residents of surrounding buildings in particular.<br /><br />The TA also took action with respect to the recent Rose/CW attempt to do away with the free trunk storage that has been part of the community since its inception. As a result of the TA's threat to file a diminution of services complaint, Rose/CW have suspended their effort.<br /><br />Notwithstanding intransigence on the part of CW, the TA has been working diligently on a tenant led conversion effort that would afford tenants the opportunity to choose between ownership of their apartments and continuing as renters under rent stabilization. It is doing that because it believes that path is the only way that tenants can control or have any say in what goes on with the property. The TA is committed to the presevation of the property's open spaces, and to preserving ST and PCV as an affordable and stable community for generations of New Yorkers to come. If we don't do this, this community and its residents will forever be at the mercy of the Tishman Speyers, CW Capitals, Rose Associates and their ilk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-41096696754313709832011-11-16T10:26:34.344-05:002011-11-16T10:26:34.344-05:00If the TA actually took a stand and did something ...If the TA actually took a stand and did something I might consider paying dues again since I havent in at least 5 years. The loss of your dues would be offset not only by me but potentially hundreds more who stopped paying due to dissatisfaction with the TA trying to play owners and pushing for Coop. We all know how badly that would have turned out had it come to fruition. Instead the TA's inaction has led me to want to see them replaced. I would support the group who rallied tenants (in spite of the TA) instead.
