"No Furniture Dumping" Signs Clarified, Sort of...

I hope they crack down on the numerous speeding bicycle delivery guys who routinely come close to knocking down people

Bikes? It's the kids on the scooters that are the problem. I've seen them nearly run into people, dogs, other kids. I'd never let my kids run wild like that.

I wonder if the 'dumping' includes the seemingly endless amounts of menus from restaurants I will NEVER eat at or order from.

Who the hell lets these people into my building to litter the hallways and my apartment when they slip things under the door?

Do they seriously think we are going to pay them to take away our bulk trash? They really are nuts. This was never a problem before the property became a dorm with a revolving door. Real families don't constantly "churn" furniture; they buy it and keep it and use it for a long time. The dormies buy all the cheap crap, use it for the duration of their lease and then dump it. I wonder if T&V will take up the issue of the new ban on photography in our Tishman Stalin version of Stuyvesant Town.

And you'll notice it's a nameless management spokesperson who's quoted -- as always in T&V. So what's news here? Bikes? Toy cops were never afraid to stop Stuy Town kids from riding bikes. Ever hear of them stopping adults?

I don't think this is a new policy. Even under MetLife's reign you were supposed to call and have large items removed by the porters, although I don't remember if there was a charge. However, no one I know ever followed the policy.

I thought our tax dollars paid for DSNY to do this. I'll take it to the curb. I thought it was a matter of aesthetics for Met. What other city provided services might they hit us up for?

What next, toll booths?

you got it.............

The sign in our building says "No furniture dumping VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED"

Why did T&V leave that bit out???

I guess TS needs more room to store bags and bags of garbage and recyclabes.

Like I said in an earlier post - and it's now been confirmed by T&V - it's all about Tshitman being able to CHARGE you to take away your furniture. It's always "show me the money" time with them.

So, in other words, just dump your furniture under the cover of night!

Loathe, please read dump furniture in the elevator as joke:

They changed the hostile sign. Now black type on gray with a decorative boarder: "No furniture dumping in carriage room."

But I'm not over being treated like shit with the old one. It was totally insulting.

They don't know PR. They throw out an occassional bandaid or maybe this is the only bandaid.

Me? I'll continue to "dump", or recycle, my unwanted furniture in there.

On an unrelated topic, my wife was talking to the Macgray repairman recently (yes he does exist). When my wife pointed out the filthy conditions in our laundry room he said that was TS' responsibilty and another tenant said she heard TS had cut back on the number of porters.
Then my wife asked why most of the dryers had a green tint. He said that was likely due to some green item (like a crayon ) which had melted. When asked why the machines weren't replaced he said Mac Gray offered but TS refused to replace them because TS would have to pay for the replacements.
Yet another example of our dear Uncle Jerry and his son Robbie turning our once fine community into a housing project!

What I meant to say initially is: Aren't TS et al ashamed of themselves or embarrassed? Oh wait, they're sociopathic too.
