I am trying to break the lease and the legal department is being extremely unresonable (4months worth of rent, which in my case I have 5 months remaining on the lease.). Do you have any recommendations as to how to proceed with them or other people who tried to break the lease recently and where quoted not standard answer? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The TA and Councilman Senator Assemblyman letter to CWCapital Asset Management CW Financial Services LLCAndrew on the obnoxious concert noise and on the construction noise and debris dust pollution are just as ineffective. Useless deliberately ineffective letter writing for appearances sake is a bad joke(like the councilman's letter for the bunker drawing!). <br /><br />If tenants want results apparently from the above comment we are better off with Cindy Adams than all three politicians and the TA combined. <br /><br />In this letter they said: "Finally, please know that we are in touch with the appropriate City agencies, and are asking them to do a complete audit and review of the plans, to ensure compliance with all applicable rules."<br /><br />http://www.garodnick.com/sites/default/files/STPCV%20MGMT%20Office%20Construction%20Letter%281%29%20%281%29.pdf<br /><br /><br />WHERE IS THE COMPLETE AUDIT AND REVIEW OF THE PLANS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE RULES?

The text of the letter is below.<br /><br />___________________________<br /><br />July 29, 2014<br /><br />Managing Director<br />CWCapital Asset Management<br />CW Financial Services LLC<br /><br />Dear Mr. MacArthur:<br /><br />We write to you to express our concern over the sound levels from this summer’s concerts in Stuyvesant Oval. Our offices received more complaints than usual, and wanted to make you aware that people complained from as far away as 272 First Avenue and 524 East 20th Street, despite their efforts to tune it out.<br /><br />While none of us was physically present for the concerts, we felt that the complaints were significant enough for us to bring it to your attention. Further, it is also apparent that there is no way for a concerned resident to make a complaint by calling “resident services.” On this, and on other issues, we would welcome a more user-friendly mechanism for residents to raise a concern with management.<br /><br />We are of course aware that concerts for this year have just ended. While we do not know yet whether you intend to bring them back, we ask that you or members of your staff meet with us and the Tenants Association in the coming year to discuss the timing and amplification of these performances so that we might mitigate these concerns.<br /><br />Thank you for your attention to this matter.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Dan Garodnick Brad Hoylman Brian Kavanagh<br /><br />cc: John Marsh, President, Stuyvesant Town – Peter Cooper Village Tenants AssociationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-34374807937795961472017-04-13T17:34:36.674-04:002017-04-13T17:34:36.674-04:00April 13 @ 3:51.

Go to any park in NYC and you will find squirrels looking for a hand-out. They're New Yorkers and make the most of any opportunity that comes their way. <br /><br />It's only recently that a couple of neurotic mothers decided that they were/are dangerous wild animals. They say a child was bitten by a squirrel, but I really don't believe it. Maybe a kid got scraped because it tried to feed the animal by hand which is something nobody should ever do. <br /><br />These squawking mothers get bent out of shape over the squirrels, but I don't hear them saying much about the dangers of shit-plastered pathways and grass (MUCH more dangerous to their offspring than squirrels) or the maniacs riding and biking around at high speed, talking on or reading their phones. The squirrels are a scapegoat. If these mothers really cared about their little bundles of joy, they would take on Management about the real dangers of raising a kid here, such as I've mentioned above. When I was a kid we didn't have to worry about being mowed down on the property and our mothers knew we were not going to get killed by a little bushy-tailed animal. We were only worried about the security guards chasing us off the grass. <br /><br />It's easier for Rick Heyduk to soothe these mommies by scapegoating the squirrels and those who like to feed them (mostly older people) than it is for him to make the effort to address the real dangers around here and enforce the rules to protect tenants from dog shit, bikes, golf and club carts and drunken, pain-in-the-ass college kids. That would take some real effort on the part of Rick Heyduk, so he'll take the easy way out and ban squirrel feeders and post some silly signs about "house rules."

That explains why in the tenant association board meetings the tenant association boards lady fought hard to construct and keep the gym even though nobody uses it even with the deep student discounts.

I don't think he has any idea of how this place really is. I don't think he would be such a useless "manager" if he did. Maybe we should get up a petition to Blackstone to get him removed and get a Manager who knows what he is doing. I tend to suspect, though, that Blackstone specializes in "Ricks." These are the guys who just keep the apartments churning and pay no heed to how tenants (who actually live here and want to stay here) suffer.
