The Aldyn, & AIRE: Rose Associates & Mark Motley's Elevator Violation Problem

Hypothesis: Rose Associates' poor elevator record with the New York Portfolio L is part of a systemic pattern of poor management of properties entrusted to them. Similar problems will be seen in other properties managed by Rose Associates.
Null Hypothesis: Most properties managed by Rose Associates will not have a pattern of significant elevator violations and other problems.
