They should have either done so, having audits on PCVST on behalf of their members or they should have educated all residents on how to do it for themselves so the many many residents could have then collectively been the necessary "numerous complaints" received by the TPU to have the rent roll audited and have overcharged tenants get their money back. <br /><br />The Tenants Association had us sign a pledge in December that they would perform these things with all the NYC agencies on behalf of tenants. <br /><br />Now the Tenants Association is complaining about an overpriced bid by Fortress that has pushed the Tenant Association away from the bidding when the Tenant Association themselves created the overpriced Fortress bid with among other things, the inflated rent roll that has gone UNCHECKED.<br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-68595127643310586712014-05-29T15:37:05.540-04:002014-05-29T15:37:05.540-04:0010:51 AM

The TPU doesn't accept individual suggestions for audits. Audit decisions are based on data collected.

If you mean CW's books there's no chance you'll see it.<br /><br />If you mean to ask about the operating expenses and taxes for the buildings, that a different story. The link to the tax bill is above. Divide the tax bill by units for simple math. If you want to add all the room in the complex and divide by that, have at it.<br /><br />As for operating expenses, you'll need to do some work. Each commercial entity (stuy Town is considered commercial for this matter) must file an annual operating and expense report to the City. The easiest way to see what the expenses are for STPCV is to go to propertyshark.com. They give you one free search. The info you're looking for will be in the report (it may be a year late but there is something there for you to use). Please visit the site and report results here (my free search has been exhausted).<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-24895019828150200852014-05-28T17:28:08.849-04:002014-05-28T17:28:08.849-04:00Get your POSTCARDS!
