This past weekend Stuyvesant Town revealed their newest amenity / essential to residents, Oval Venice! It appears there is something wrong with the recently repaved 20th Street Loop that causes severe flooding when subjected to small amounts of rain. This photo was taken by a Sty Spy Saturday night shortly after it stopped raining. The Sty Spy writes:"As you can see, the falling leaves (and we now have PLENTY of trees producing leaves!) clogged the storm sewers and turned the outlet of the 20th Street Loop into a swimming pool! The tide reached higher than the top of the curb and was sloshing onto the sidewalk. Several cars were nearly swamped and some were even forced to back out of the loop in the wrong direction! And where was security you ask?
We called them at about 10:00 to report a "dangerous water condition"...and waited for them or maintenance to show up to at least block off the road...and waited...and waited...until we got fed up and went home about a half-hour later!"
Thankfully Stuyvesant Town's leasing office keeps their prospective

Well, the good news is that I always seem to be able to find parking on that loop. The bad news is that my car will probably be ruined. Can't these people do anything right?
The answer, to your question "E" Line is: No, they can't get anything right. They wouldn't be Tishman Speyer if they could anything right. They would be competent, capable people who knew what they were doing and were not motivated by blind greed, if they could get anything right. By the way, I heard that Ole Jerry is coming up with a new money-making scheme for when it rains: Gondola Rides Along the Romantic 20th Street Loop. As for the 14th Street Loop - that is the Mystery Horror Ride for Halloween. Both "amenities" are available to all tenants for a one-time fee of $700 plust $150 per ride. Children get .1% off.
So...does this mean that you need to pay the $250 "initiation fee" to use the new Stuyvesant Town pool?
According to anonymous sources, "Management plans to add alligators and water moccosins to the new moat in hopes of eliminating a few more rent stabilized tenants!"

Do you get the feeling that when the Speyers play Sim-City, they press the cheat codes once too often causing bad things like earthquakes, fires, and godzillas to appear?

I love how the back door of the leasing office prevents market rate tenants from really seeing the property. They whisk them from the leasing office into that building with the model apartment in it on the 10th floor and then right back. They talk a mile a minute, I guess so there's no down time for questions.
