nice view

Would you like to move in upstairs? You could do so for $18,000 a month. See ad. Rent likely to go up 25% each year. Nice views though. The building has been having some problems. See complaints at the bottom of this website. Tenants seem to be caught in a standoff between landlord and tenants' association about security. The TA complained that the door was unlocked and the desk unmanned after 9:00 pm. The landlord or management company retaliated by locking both front doors all day long and issuing electronic fobs.
   As of yesterday the doors were locked. It is a big pain in the ass for tenants, deliverymen and doormen alike. And there is supposed to be a doorman strike on April 21. I figure the people paying high rents for such gigantic apartments as the one above will complain. Or the agents trying to rent same. But for now, they're playing chicken. I am waiting for the day when the owners will pay me the outrageous sum of money one rent stabilized tenant got to move out of 15 CPW.
BTW, if you're in protest mode and want to stand up for the New York Public Library system today, here's the info.
