As details about Manhattan's most controversial "luxury" housing complex and its new plague begin to see the light, it's becoming apparent that their interiors don't. In another embarrassment for Stuyvesant Town and their clueless management company, Tishman Speyer, the complex has shut down the production of their pressurized walls because of a tuberculosis epidemic sweeping the complex.The pressurized wall system was the earthworm on the hook of the Stuyvesant Town leasing office who lured tenants in by allowing them to build a fake wall, at their expense of course, so they could convert their living room into an additional bedroom. This would allow tenants the option of tolerating "luxury" roommates, making life in Stuyvesant Town almost affordable.
But then market rate tenants starting becoming sick, very sick, and Beth Israel Hospital noticed an increase in Stuyvesant Town residents catching tuberculosis. After several buildings were inspected by local health officials it was determined that the pressurized walls blocked out sunlight and prevented air from circulating in the luxury apartments.
"This is inexcusable," said a health inspector who asked to remain anonymous. "New York City hasn't seen such unhealthy living conditions since the days of the tenements on the Lower East Side."
Speaking of which, following in the path of the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side, Stuyvesant Town will soon be adding OvalSlum to their list of useless amenities sweeping the Oval. The half-baked museum will show how blond girls from red states are living with, like, roommates and stuff, and couldn't get good cell reception, and, like managed to still get take out . OMG? WTF? Flip flop. Flip flop.
