"Stuyvesant Town has sank to a new low. I don't mind the beer bottles and used condoms in the hallway, hey, it's New york City, but last night I saw something which shocked even me, a jaded lifetime old New Yorker. I was walking up the stairs to my third floor apartment and I saw an obviously drunken college kid TAKING A SHIT in the stairwell. I did a double take. The clearly inebriated young man just looked at me and said, "Hey when ya gotta go ya gotta go." Thnaks Tishman-Speyer for bringing such high class tenants into what USED to be a wonderful place to live."

If it's brown, flush it down!
Around the bowl and down the hole, go brown go!
Well. Whilst living among grownups and their families, these students should be confined when they can't be supervised! Apartments with pressurized walls that are only big enough for them to comfortably stand, lie, and turn around are perfect for potty training!
When Security allows them out of their apartments, students should be on leashes! They can be taken en masse to where management wants them to potty. (NOTE: The Ambrosia Restaurant has very nice comfort rooms!) When they finish, let them go to class or sun themselves on the Oval. (NOTE: While they are sunning themselves, other tenants should watch for behaviors that tell us the youngsters need to go poopie again: circling, squatting, crouching, etc.)
Now, what to do if come home to find a mess on the lobby floor: Alert Security. Guards should first confine the student for 15 minutes and then take them out. This process should be repeated until the students "go." Hopefully they can eventually be taught that they will only earn their degrees and have happy lives by pottying where it's appropriate!
I'm meeting with a reporter today from a local newspaper who is doing a story on Stuy's new college crowd. If anyone is interested in speaking with him firsthand about the pot smoke in your apartments, 4 am parties, etc., email me and I'll put you in touch.

SHOUTING OVER THE DIN OF THE POLITICAL DEBATE, DID EVERYBODY SEE LUXIE'S IMPORTANT POST THAT HE'S MEETING WITH A LOCAL NEWSPAPER TODAY RE: THE STUDENT DORM SITUATION IN STUYVESANT TOWN?
YES
Brown represents wholesomeness and earthiness. While it might be considered a little on the dull side, it also represents steadfastness, simplicity, friendliness, dependability, and health. Although blue is the typical corporate color, UPS (United Parcel Service) has built their business around the dependability associated with brown.
There's no reason to shout. The "political debate" is on an old thread where it shouldn't be bothering anybody except maybe Lux Living. If Lux Living wants it to end, fine. It's his blog.
I hope your post doesn't get lost in the din, Luxie, because the latest comments rise to the top.
Thanks ALOT Caroline.
Today, 5/25/09, while coming out 521 East 14th Street at the main entrance, I came upon two female Yunnies GRILLING on the lawn between 521 and 523. Called Security, had some “stimulating” conversation with them. Narcissism is such the rage in Stuy Town these days.
Why would you bother security with a complaint about girls sunbathing?
Who did you have the "stimulating" conversation with? The girls or Security? I hope Security made them stop - the grass is in bad enough shape without people lighting up grills! What total jerks!
Perfect for a Memorial Day cookout on the Oval, the roof, or one of our fabulous Stuyvesant Town playgrounds, bocce courts, or "rooler" rinks! And you'd better not call Security on me, mister!
Edna's Grilled Salmon with Bourbon
2 cups pineapple juice
16 tablespoons soy sauce
16 tablespoons brown sugar
8 teaspoons (or more) bourbon
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups vegetable oil
16 (8 oz.) salmon fillets
Combine juice, soy, brown sugar, bourbon, pepper, garlic powder and oil in a bowl. Remove all skin from the salmon. Place the salmon in an enormous glass dish side by side. Pour some of the marinade over (reserve some for basting while grilling). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour a few hours will be even better. Drain and grill over med.-high about 5-7 minutes per side or until fish flakes. Perfect with gallons of Champagne, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir! Serves 16.
"Why would you bother security with a complaint about girls sunbathing? "
The call to security was about the illegal grilling. Also, FYI, since TS does not enforce ANY of the dog regulations, people sunbathing on the grass are wallowing in dog excrement smears and urine.
"Who did you have the "stimulating" conversation with? The girls or Security?"
The conversation was with the Yunnies. No sense of urban sensitivity at all. I hope that they and their kind will soon go back to the rat mall suburban world that spawned them.
So in other words, you tried to charm them, they ignored you, and you reported them to security.
FDNY Rules
RCNY
Title 3 of the
Rules of the City of New York
§24-02
Barbecues on Residential Property.
Barbecues on residential property shall not be operated within ten (10) feet of any combustible material and there shall be available for use a garden type hose attached to a water supply or at least a sixteen (16) quart pail of water.
So we can grill as long as we have a pail of water nearby. I'm going to go and buy one!
No, that's just the Fire Code. I believe there's gotta be something in your lease that says you can't.
Section 10 of your lease agreement:
The Tenant agrees that Tenant, Tenant's family and Tenant's visitors, will obey the Rules and Regulations mentioned in this Lease and all Rules and Regulations the Landlord may issue in the future concerning the Apartment or said development. THE TENANT FURTHER AGREES THAT ANY FAILURE OF THE TENANT TO OBEY EITHER THIS AGREEMENT OR TO OBEY ANY OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE LANDLORD SHALL BE A SERIOUS VIOLATION AND DEFAULT OF AN IMPORTANT AGREEMENT OF THIS LEASE. The Tenant also agrees to obey all Laws and Regulations issued by the Federal, State or City governments as well as the Regulations of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters which may apply to the Apartment and the development. The Tenant further agrees not to do anything or allow any condition to exist which would create a fire hazard or which might increase fire insurance premiums for the Apartment or the buildings of the development.

I think a reasonable person would understand this to mean "no barbeques"
Barbecuing with a pail of water nearby is certainly safer that smoking in bed! And it doesn't explicitly say 'no barbecuing' so I don't think it would hold up in court.

Hey.. you want to burn the place down ? Jerry and Robbie will NOT be happy !

Touche !
