Some random FB post (I'm not even on FB and created a phony account to view that page) from some guy I've never heard of does not make me feel better after receiving that unsettling email.<br />Not only can I have my rent jacked up about $1500 a month I am told that I can not expect any help from the TA's Law Firm. This, after an earlier email from them told me I could sign the lease without worrying about this. Here is the email:<br /><br />"Two notices posted on this site, one on April 6, 2011<br />and one on May 14, 2012, discussed an issue involving the “preferential rents” reflected in the Owner's leases with Roberts tenants. The issue concerned whether, as a result of certain events that may occur in the lawsuit, the Owner would be able to raise the “preferential rent” the tenant was paying (sometimes referred to as the “lower rent to be charged”) to the higher “legal rent” during the term of a lease. The Roberts attorneys stated that the Owner had stated that it would charge the lower rent for the duration of the lease term and seek up to the “legal” rent only upon renewal. Based upon current information, the Roberts attorneys are now updating their statement to state that the Owner is no longer so stating. All tenants should keep that in mind when signing leases for future tenancies. <br /><br />You will not be subject to an increase immediately, and may never receive such an increase. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Preferential Rent Rider in your lease you will receive at least 60 days notice of any such increase if the owner seeks one, so please understand that we will not be able to discuss this issue further or answer any questions that you may have about this at this time."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-90468255231701198182012-06-15T17:51:42.267-04:002012-06-15T17:51:42.267-04:00There is a current tread on leases and Roberts at ...There is a current tread on leases and Roberts at the conversion blog:<br /><br />http://www.pcvstconversionforum.blogspot.com/2012/06/june-9.html#comment-form<br /><br />This link is also provided in the STR's link list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-90185733310865432222012-06-15T15:09:25.728-04:002012-06-15T15:09:25.728-04:00"They state in this lease I will get a 60-day..."They state in this lease I will get a 60-day notice should they opt to charge me the higher rent."<br /><br />Is this a joke, albeit a bad one?

I recently renewed my lease and like the previous lease there is a provision regarding amount of rent I am to pay. The "legal" rent they say I owe them is about $1500 more than the "preferential" rent I am required to pay. They state in this lease I will get a 60-day notice should they opt to charge me the higher rent.<br />Before I signed this lease I expressed my concerns to Mr. Liskow of the TA's lawyer's office and was told that CW had promised that they would not opt to raise anyone's rent whose lease contained this clause for the length of their lease.<br />Yesterday, I received an email from Mr. Liskow stating that this was no longer the case and that my rent could be raised to the so-called "legal" amount and that his firm was no longer going to answer any more questions about the matter.<br />Uh-Oh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-16314497914026084642012-06-15T08:51:08.782-04:002012-06-15T08:51:08.782-04:00That the situation with outsiders using our facili...That the situation with outsiders using our facilities got to where it was (is?) shows how Management was asleep at the wheel. They should have alert in handling the property, making sure that all things (not just playgrounds) continued to run smoothly, but instead they didn't and then had to make a greater effort to fix what they had allowed to get broken. So no kudos to them for finally waking up to what they should have been doing all along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-33329704686404540852012-06-15T00:50:43.316-04:002012-06-15T00:50:43.316-04:00Some further history: In the early days, there was...Some further history: In the early days, there was a recreation department whose members wore identifiable outfits. They were assigned to various playgrounds, where they organized games and kept an eye on activities. In the summer they supervised the showers in the playgrounds that had them (our version of the beach).

However, to give public safety credit (or the recreation department if one still exists) where credit is due, they have done a much better job of keeping outsiders out. You couldn't get near a game of basketball at Playground 9 some time back. When I tried to take my autistic son out to try and get him to shoot some hoops the playground was so crowded we couldn't get on a court. It was all adults, all the time. Finally, I got in a few games myself and noticed that virtually no one else playing lived in PCV/ST. Others noticed too and complaints were made by phone and on Lux Living, and after numerous threats to file for diminished services (without the supposed TA) and a rent decrease, it was addressed. Now at least 1 hoop is always available if I can convince my son to go down. So, in this one area I give kudos to management for addressing this issue. <br /><br />IMHO, a dog run would never happen because the affected tenants could easily sue to get rent reductions or more.

First, all playgrounds in STPCV have a signs stating that they are not public playgrounds, they are open only to residents and their guests. Do not confuse this with the public access requirement of STPVC, whereby it is open to anyone to visit, to go and pass through, sit at a bench, etc. Second, due to the pressure of this blog, the former Lux Living blog, and letters to the T&V, ID checks are now required to use playgrounds 9 and 11 (the basketball playgrounds)that were overrun with non-tenant use and, in the case of playground 9, violence was also as issue there.<br />Playground 7 has been advertised by various outside blogs as a place to play hockey in Manhattan. There is currently no ID check at that playground but I bet it’s mostly non tenant use as well. Look at all the large duffle bags that are on the side, tenants would just skate directly over to the playground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-48005936275199712952012-06-13T21:36:12.557-04:002012-06-13T21:36:12.557-04:00"And so what if we have a few nonresident kid..."And so what if we have a few nonresident kids on the playground?

Then the dog owners insisted that they be able to continue to have dogs once his/her pet died, as this is the reason they bought in the building. OK. But then many non-dog owners said they bought in the building because they MIGHT want to have a dog some day. <br /><br />Long story short, dog ban was rejected.

And what would a shriek-fest be without cookies, half eaten bagels, and pizza crusts left on the benches and scattered on the ground. Classy moms!<br /><br />Again, I'd take a dog run over a playground any day. Regarding the smell, the TSP dog run has various shovels to pick up after dogs.
