I yelled at one of them, he ignored me just like he ignored the signs. Our laundry baskets have signs saying that are not to be taken out of the laundry room. Ignored. Lease requirements requires that rugs or carpeting must cover 80% of all floors at all times. Ignored. Food waste should not be placed it in the recycling or trash bins or leaving it anywhere in the Carriage Room. Ignored . Disposal of bulk Items and furniture should not be placed in the re cycle locations but should be placed at the loop road locations at the designated schedule . Ignored. I could go on and on. The “Broken Windows” urban strategy is obviously not followed here by management. <br /><br />BTW, the dog registration system is an honor system (LOL!), the documents including breed type can be scanned and then emailed to management. WTF? I guess that huge Doberman Pinscher I saw with its owner coming out of my building was a Chihuahua.<br /><br />As per that NY Post article, Herzog said, “We all have to learn to be able to live with each other. That’s city life. If you don’t like it, move to the suburbs.” First of all, this excuse is used all the time for all sorts of narcissistic behavior by a typical transient or new NYC resident who usually just came from the suburbs. The irony. The creator of the EV Grieve blog places a special type of mockery for this line.<br /><br />What’s the solution here? At this point I see the only way to even partially address these issues is to treat CWC and CompassRock as being in a 100% adversarial relationship with the tenants, confront them at all times and expose and embarrass them PR wise with media exposure. This blog, The Escape blog and the TA FB page do have some impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-44824966690649515992013-03-30T13:46:14.804-04:002013-03-30T13:46:14.804-04:00Dog signs were put back up around the Oval recentl...Dog signs were put back up around the Oval recently.Stuy Town Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538426011607971633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-59414871659198734062013-03-30T12:29:54.586-04:002013-03-30T12:29:54.586-04:00I haven't seen a dog sign since last summer.I haven't seen a dog sign since last summer.

Not unlike the stytown toilet, dog owner arguments always hark back to the problem being with people who don't want shit and piss in the plantings and grass. It's literally the same responses from dog owners that we get here. Never ming the ignoring of posted signs. "If you don't like it, move to the suburbs." "This is the city, get used to it." etc, etc.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-21970624171382365442013-03-30T09:15:19.576-04:002013-03-30T09:15:19.576-04:00A dog story...

The market may satisfy two of the three but it would be difficult to see how it meets the third criteria - (b) is a use which is clearly incidental to, and customarily found in connection with, such principal use.<br />In ST's 60 some odd years of existence prior to the opening of the market, the residents and management made do without a market. In addition, if I recall correctly, based on a review of the GrowNYC website, is the only - I repeat - the only market in NYC that can be found on a residential lot. Most, like the one a Union Sq and the one at Tompkins Sq, are located on sidewalks adjacent to NYC parks. Hard to see how our market is one that is customarily found on residentially zoned lots.<br />The market, like the rink and the other so called Oval essential were and are nothing more than marketing efforts. Council Member Garodnick was correct the first time - the market is a zoning violation. His capitulation to CW Capital on this issue is an indelible stain on his record.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-62630447430695006092013-03-29T14:39:03.221-04:002013-03-29T14:39:03.221-04:00I suggest simply boycotting the greenmarket.
