Why the hell would I want to buy my apartment? I am retiring next month and going on a long vacation to Italy. My son and his wife are "babysitting" my apartment and my dogs. If the lowlife downstairs keeps up the problem, she will have a lot of shit on her head, hands, etc. BTW, what is the problem with referring to someone from the flyover states as being from the flyover states? These people come to New York thinking it is a party city, just made for their pleasure. They are too ignorant and stupid to know that the term "the city that never sleeps" comes from the fact that New Yorkers work around the clock. These ignorant hayseeds think it means partytime round the clock. The asshole tourists and hayseeds from the flyover states should go home and take Bloomberg with them.

I have posted this link before. <br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/11/realestate/q-a-meaning-of-quiet-enjoyment.html<br /><br />Current management at Rose does not care about enforcing the 80% carpet requirement and other noise regs that are listed in this link. <br /><br />http://www.pcvst.com/resident-info/living-basics/good-neighbor-policies.aspx<br /><br />My opinion is that CW Capital does not budget funds for this purpose since it is “cost center” application, not a “profit center” one. Public Safety will respond but their hands are tied. I have talked to several PS officers off the record and they have told me that the rug inspection process is a big joke here, especially with the current transient demo that this place is being marketed to with their constant rotating roommate situation. PS gets these noise complaints all the time, they write them up and into the management memory hole they go. I think these marketing vids posted on the ST & PCV links says it all.<br /><br />http://www.stuytown.com/apartments/classic-tour.aspx<br /><br />http://www.petercoopernyc.com/apartments/classic/classic-tour.aspx<br /><br />Blatant violations of the 80% carpet requirement are all over the place in these vids and in the still shots as well. They really do not care.<br /><br />“What happened to Renee Riley? Was she fired? She was very nice and very helpful.”<br /><br />She was fired last year. The new property managers are jokes. Mostly, management is only good for right now is promoting questionable marketing events, (window dressing)sprucing up selected outside grounds for a possible future sale, and renovating apartments for new tenants so that the churning for higher rents can continue. On the plus side, maintenance requests (at least for me) have been promptly attended to and the PS officers always respond. These officers and their PS superiors are between rock and hard place on the overall management t world of Rose Associates who, let’s not forget, are funded and report to CW Capital.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-72156407172335712442012-06-20T17:55:31.108-04:002012-06-20T17:55:31.108-04:00"It's very detrimental to the overall iss..."It's very detrimental to the overall issue and makes Stuytown look like a bunch of malcontents."<br /><br />What is the overall issue?

Not sure what it is ...RE: to June 19, 2012 9:02 PM<br /><br />Not sure what it is you're not getting. Lawyers for both parties, CW Capital and formerly market rate tenants, are in negotiations over what "legal rent" means for tenants who have rented formerly illegally de-regulated apts in court. Lawyers for their side want to collect a 15 or 20% vacancy fee for every time our landlords flipped a formerly illegally deregulated apartment, attorneys for tenants think that is outrageous. Especially since a case can easily be made that successive landlords intentionally flipped them. BTW, that is why rents on a lot of formerly deregulated apartments are so sky-high, the landlord is currently including all those vacancy fees in your rent and is probably THE sticking point in negotiations. <br /><br />In cases like these, both sides negotiate until they come to some sort of compromise agreement. If either side leaks what is being negotiated, the court would go ballistic. Hence lawyers are not speaking to the press about what's happening behind closed doors, and lawyers for our side are not sharing those details with the hundreds (or thousands/) of participants like you they are repping in the suit.<br /><br />And why would you assume the TA has any input? They only set the thing up, matching plaintiffs to a law firm that wanted the case. The TA is not advising the attorneys and they are not paying them. Tenants' attorneys fees will eventually come out of the settlement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-83999323105257580532012-06-20T12:19:54.539-04:002012-06-20T12:19:54.539-04:00Mr. STR: word of suggestion if I might.....
