Call it pig-Stuy town! Older tenants say Stuyvesant Town turning into 'Animal House'
What a timely article. NOT!
Three years late.
Bet this guy is getting ready to cover the meltdown on Wall Street. Let's not rush him.
Oh yeah, and as for : "complaints are dealt with promptly, thoroughly and at our expense." they're forgetting about one small complaint. The Roberts case. Wait...that's gonna be at their expense, too. Punk mother fuckers.
This article does report incidents that haven't appeared elsewhere, which is good. As for "A Tishman spokesman had no reaction to reports of beer cans or sex in the bushes, but insisted vermin complaints are dealt with "promptly, thoroughly and at our expense," one wonders why he had no reaction (perfect spin opportunity) to the beer cans and sex. Neither he nor the reporter bothered to mention that dealing with vermin is the landlord's responsibility.
Re: Rats
I've been meaning to get to this. While I do despise TS et al, I have to give them that rats are WAY down; WAY. Pre-sale, during the course of an outdoor nighttime cigarette, I'd see an average of 8 in whatever immediate area I was facing. I hardly ever see even one anymore. Oh they are around, this is Manhattan, but there is no infestation IMHO. This leads me to think that it is the fly-over state/suburban/frat people that are doing the hollering.
So there. I did it. I spit it out. ;-)
