Stuy Town's new influx of self-absorbed suburbanites continue to make nice with the New Yorkers. Tired of stepping over other people's garbage in the halls, this mad-as-hell resident leaves a love note on a paper plate taped to the wall which reads:

"Are you kidding? Who do you think should pick up after you? Clean up your mess!"

"Hey man, you will never guess what Steve did last night! After we got thrown out of Dropoff Service because Adam dared him to grab some lady's tit we came home to smoke a bowl. He, like, toootally pulled up the plants outside and threw them around. Stephanie thinks he's a total douche jackhole but that guy kills me"

Tenants aiming to buy the vast lower Manhattan residential complex turn to the huge California pension fund for assistance; rub is that it lost $500 million last time around.

The tenants in the sprawling Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village residential complex in lower Manhattan are seeking an ally in their attempt to buy the property, which is threatened with foreclosure.

The Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association is requesting a former investor in the 11,000-unit complex to join their cause.

The California Public Employees' Retirement System had previously invested $500 million in the $5.4 billion acquisition of the buildings by a group led by Tishman Speyer four years ago, a deal whose success hinged on getting rid of many tenants and de-regulating rents on their units. Last month, CalPERS--which lost its entire investment in the deal when the buyers defaulted on their mortgage--announced that from now on it would commit to avoiding any type of investment plan where displacing residents was a component of the strategy.

The Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association is now asking the huge Sacramento-based pension fund to prove its change of heart. On Wednesday, New York City Councilman Daniel Garodnick sent CalPERS Chief Executive Anne Stausboll a letter inviting the fund to formally join the tenants' bid on the property.

A worker installing a fire-safety door sparked a massive three-alarm blaze that ripped through five stores in Stuyvesant Town yesterday.

The building housing the five stores at 500 E. 14th St., across from the Stuyvesant Town complex, was gutted. Buildings Department inspectors were on the scene last night to check the stability of the structure's remains.

An employee of Ideal Fire Safety Systems said he was working on a fire-access door in the kitchen of Pete's-A-Place, a pizza joint, at around 10:15 a.m. when his welding torch apparently set some grease on fire.

 The blaze spread "like wildfire," said the worker, who gave his name as Esteban.

"I had three fire extinguishers, and it didn't help any. By the time I put one section out, another went up," Esteban said.

"Of course it happens to me," he said ruefully. "But I tried to stop it. I really did."

Esteban, who has worked for Ideal for 10 years, said he feared the accident would cost him his job.

He was expecting to spend his workday on another assignment when his boss told him to install the pizza-shop door at 8 a.m. The door was supposed to be finished by yesterday afternoon, in time for a Fire Department inspection.

Workers at Stuyvesant Convenience learned they were in danger when a customer ran into the store and warned everyone to "get the heck out," said employee Adal Murshed, 35.

Essa Assabahi, 29, another store worker, watched helplessly from across the street as the business went up in flames. "That's my job right there," he said. "Now I'm unemployed."

Flames shot up through the building's roof, and smoke was visible from blocks away. It took 140 firefighters to extinguish the blaze. Two were treated for smoke inhalation.

Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village residents know that just because you have cocktails, panties, and dregs, it's not quite a party until you have pizza on the lobby floor. A Sty Spy writes:

"Your latest post reminded me that I forgot to send you this photo of what greeted me when I came home the other night. I picked up the pizza and threw it away, then came back downstairs to mop up as much of the oil and grease as I could. I'm dumbstruck--how can somebody do this and walk away?"
