"The boys love to party, but they're "cleaning up their act"! xxx and xxx have musical talent that shakes the city and Mr. xxx can make anyone he meets piss their pants. Talent and a maid service...PERFECT!"
What have we learned today? The free clinic is the only local business benefiting from Tishman Speyer's lux vision of Stuyvesant Town.

What do I spy with my evil eye? Is that guy in the middle of the photo holding a USED mutation of the infamous Coney Island Whitefish, now known as the Jerry Jerk Off Green Sack? Looks like it could double as a barf bag for the guy on the right.
Geez! It looks like I'm going to have to start bringing an entire biohazard sterilization team with me every time I want to take my 4 y.o. daughter out to the playground. What's more, that's the Peter Cooper playground, where a lot of parents from some of the local elementary schools congregate after school - I wonder if they're all aware of what that playground is being used for?
Only one thing to add: DDoS, anyone?
Is this the best that Rubenstein Associates can do? Maybe college kids rule the Style Section in places like Epworth, Iowa, (a big shout out to the crew at Divine Word College, yo!!!) but this is NYC, darling. If I were Jerry Speyer I'd be demanding to know why I'm not reading about hot young interns at WWD ODing in their trendy Stuy Town apartments!!!
Hey, isn't that sassy maid American Idol's screeching, over-the-top, non-singer Adam Lambert?

Well. That photo looks so obviously staged. This is what vacuuming a Stuy Town apartment really looks like!
Oh, Edna, if I had a few "Bloody Edna's" before vacuuming, I could look as happy as you while doing my chores!
Oh The "E" Line, you don't need a Bloody Edna to be happy. Sometimes all it takes is a song!
Those have to be three of the most repulsive looking jerks I have ever seen! They give a whole new dimension to the term "SKANK." Yuk!
I don't know why TS doesn't dump Rubenstein. Rubenstein is known for being the sleaziest and cheesiest in the business. Rubenstein, himself, looks like the corpse of Ed McMahon!
"Rubenstein looks like the corpse of Ed McMahon" --
That is really harsh, Caroline,-harsh , but true.
The vast majority of NYC "machers" (like the Speyers ) use Rubinstein for PR .
Companies I've worked with have used them . I found them to be no different than any other PR firm , except that they charge top dollar.I guess their impressive fees are what impresses "geniuses" like the Speyers.
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.
Betcha Rubenstein could spin that into a positive story
Hippo, that's a QUOTE OF THE WEEK !
Forgive me, but is it still there ?? A picture of the porter cleaning it up would be worth a 1000 words in this case.
You're right, Edna, that's a good one!
THAT is the vilest thing I have heard so far. Hippo, I hope you report that to the Health Department as well as complain to Tishman Speyer and notify Security. Too bad you didn't get a photo on your cell phone of the filthy bastard. That is absolutely a violation of every health code in the book and it should not just be ignored.
Unbelievable! We are paying our hard earned money in rent to live with these subhumans? We might as well live with primates in the zoo! This story has to be put out to the press. We can't live with this kind of outrage.
You mean, a little like paying $5.6 billion for a property that is now apparently being appraised by some analysts as being worth about $3 billion? ;^)
Still dropping by to rub elbows with the "rent control freaks," MarketRateDouchenozzle? Um, shouldn 't you be toiling away, doing "the grunt work" "to pay for the escalating costs of operating this place" so that us "parasites" can while away our days here in "la-la land?"
And I though you were taking yourself and your income out of the five boroughs and that you'll be sure to personally see to it "that a commuter income tax will NEVER be okayed in Albany again." I guess you are as full of shit as I think you are.
In the meantime, why don't you take your income and shove it up your ass?
Such eloquent language! And you have the audacity to accuse others of being "mean"! ROFL. Too much.
Oh please, let it go. Did you follow the link?
RR I wouldn't give this idiot more than 2 seconds of thought.
He's obviously wasting his time by talking to himself.
You're right, thanks. That distraction threw me off why it was that I came here this morning in the first place...
We just got notified by the landlord and the DHCR about our elevator MCI rent increase. Any other Stuy Town people who got similar notices should file PARs for their buildings. (PARs challenge the ruling that approved the MCI rent increase.) I got an email last nite telling me the elevator PAR kits are on the TA site and can be downloaded. Here's the link.
NOTE: Do not pay the line item RETRO ELEVATOR MCI CHARGES on your rent bill if you file a PAR for your building.
I received one of these notices the other day. Now, if I file a PAR does that only apply to me or to the whole building? Also, isn't there a danger of being dragged into court for nonpayment of the full rent if you don't pay that particular charge?
Ignore the first part of my last post! Obviously, my brain isn't functioning right today. I am worried about being sued for nonpayment though if I ignore that line item. I have enough on my plate at the moment without doing battle with TS in housing court.
I'd like the TA to clarify the "room count" objection. It seems to me that the landlord would have no incentive to install "pressure walls" in RS apartments. There's no cost benefit to the landlord because they're not getting extra rent by charging market rate and having 100 people live in the apartment.
If they did put up pressure walls in a RS apartment to accommodate the tenant (like separating the MBR for 2 children), and are trying to charge it out as an extra room, then I can see the objection, but I'd like the TA to substantiate that situation before I'd raise it as part of my objections.
And people complain about the dogs! Give me a fucking break! We're swimming in students' puke, shit and piss and people complain about dog smears! Probably most of those "smears" are from the two-legged dogs on the property rather than the four-legged ones. I would have kicked that kid's drunken ass down the stairs and his shit down after him. No way should be have to tolerate this kind of behavior.
I hope you'll give the TA the benefit of the doubt on the room count objection, Anonymous, because I don't think we have the luxury of time. Residents of each building have only 35 days to reply to the DHCR and I'm hearing some buildings near the river got their notices last month.
I'd be personally inclined to omit that particular objection from my filing. It just doesn't make sense to me. I'll take their word on the rest of the objections.
A fresh-faced young man just rang my bell and announced he was campaigning for Bloomberg. I gave him an earful, but he was too nice for me to beat up. I don't think my neighbors were too positively responsive either! It takes guts to come around here campaigning for that toad!
This is from the TA website regarding the elevator PARs:
What's the best way to file an appeal? Are there instructions on the TA website?
Full instructions are on the TA website. RoundlyRoger posted the link above, but you can cut and paste this:

Bloomberg is wasting his time in my building because the tenants eligible to vote are the RS tenants who have had with him and his cronies, TS; the rest are out of state kids who are not eligible to vote in New York. I am looking forward to the day when it's: Bye Bye, Bloomie. Don't let the door hit you in the ass as you exit the City that you have leeched off for so long.
