SEIU - 32BJ - SUPERS' UNION - ACTION ALERT!!

=== SEIU 32BJ ACTION ALERT!!! ===

ROSE ASSOCIATES' BUILDING MANAGEMENT STYLE: 32 ACTIVE ELEVATOR VIOLATIONS IN 6 OUT OF 9 BUILDINGS

Could you please do something about the 32 Active Elevator Violations seen in 6 of these buildings? After all, the superintendents also use the elevators.

For the Record - The 9 AVJ Buildings have a history of permit failure

There are 9 buildings in the original AVJ Portfolio, also called New York Portfolio L. One building - 172 West 79th St. - is a condo, and not all of the building is part of the Portfolio. But the AVJ units show the same pattern as the other whole buildings.

In all 8 buildings, and the AVJ portions of the ninth, permits were generally not pulled for IAIs - Individual Apartment Improvements - prior to 2008. As a result, our superintendents have been accustomed to the coerced violation of NYC Building laws. The underlying alleged "improvements", done lawlessly, absent permits, might not properly be used as a basis for rent increases. They do, however, show up in the Rent Registration for individual apartments, and were used to increase rents and deregulate units. How much lost permit fee revenue to NYC does this represent?
It is time for SEIU 32BJ to intervene, and demand that Rose Associates address these problematic living and working conditions.

Is 110 Bennett Ave. worth $25 per square foot? Research says No, DeutschBank REITS is wrong.

Just look at the Hudson View Gardens living room, including, yes, a view of the Hudson River:

110 Bennett's management is continually and ruthlessly forcing increased rents. We have to ask: "Is it worth it?" "Can this be a reasonable Fair Market Rent?"
According to the Streeteasy internet site, 110 Bennett Ave's listing average is $22 per square foot, although they appear to be missing important data, such as the jacked up rents for the second year of tenancy.
For examples of their listings, in May, 2012, apartment 1A, a one bedroom, was list and rent at $1,500.00; and apartment 2E, listed as a studio, was rented in April, 2012, for $1,300.00.

Of course, these facts do not include that the policy of Rose Associates is to only give a one year lease. No one gets two years. The second year [once the unit is unfairly forced off of rent regulation] demand for rent is jacked up by many hundreds of dollars per month, often forcing the renter out. This is one more way Rose Associates destabilizes individual's lives and entire neighborhoods.

Where Rent Stabilization is merely Fodder to Intimidate Tenants:

At Rose Associates and the DeutscheBank RIETS Legacy

And then there is the threat, that if the unit is actually rent stabilized, and you try to assert your rights under Rent Stabilization, you will get charged the maximum Legal Rent of $2,000.00+. So you better be happy to have your rent raised by only a few hundred dollars.
Rental square footage rate is calculated by multiplying the monthly rent x 12 months, and then dividing by the square footage. Using these two examples, here is how it works out:
Unit 1H, 850 sq. ft. Rent $1,500 / month x 12 months = $18,000/year / 850 = $21 per square foot.
Unit 3A, 615 sq. ft. Rent $1,300 / month x 12 months = $15,600 / year / 613 = $25 per square foot.

Year Two Extorted Rents: Jacked Up to $29 per square foot

But are these good deals? Of course, once you are in, it is jacked up a few hundred a month, or out you go.
If the average rent increases are successfully extorted, and a tenant stays on, the second year would be:
Unit 1H, 850 sq. ft. Rent $1,700 / month x 12 months = $20,400 / year / 850 = $24.00 per square foot.
Unit 3A, 615 sq. ft. Rent $1,500 / month x 12 months - $18,000 / year / 613 = $29 / per squre foot!
Is $25 per square foot, or worse, $29, the "Fair Market Rent" for 110 Bennett? Or are management rent demands out of line?

Research Question:

Is 110 Bennett Ave as good a value as Hudson View Gardens?

Is it worth spending $2,000 per month at 110 Bennett?

To answer this question, we can see what $25 per square foot can actually get.
Streeteasy said that the average for rentals at Hudson View Gardens is $25 per square foot - when they are available. Most of the units are sold for at least $400,000.00.

Sick of Rose Associates' Poor Management and Fraud MCIs, Tenants Opt for Non-Eviction Condo Conversion

Tenant-Led ST/PCV Conversion Plan
The Stuyvesant Town -Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association has released the first in a series of “Conversion Q&A” web videos that will answer frequently asked questions about the proposed tenant-led, non-eviction conversion plan. The first video, featuring Tenants Association Executive Vice President Susan Steinberg, can be viewed at http://protectstpcv.org/facts.
http://www.stpcvta.org/ta/post/video_series_to_answer_community_questions_on_tenant_led_st_pcv_conver
http://www.protectstpcv.org/facts/
This partnership will spend the coming months putting together and submitting a conversion proposal that will give residents the opportunity to buy their apartments at a reasonable price, while also allowing rent-stabilized tenants to continue renting without fear of harassment should they decide not to buy.

ROSE ASSOCIATES OUSTED FROM MAJOR DEVELOPMENT!!

Well, it appears that it is possible to get rid of Rose Associates.

Rockwood Real Estate Advisors (Advisory and Transactional Services)

======
THE STUYVESANT TENANTS SAY THIS ABOUT ROSE:
=========
Rose was more than a middleman stuck between a rock and a hard place. In my opinion, they were the architects of many of the various failed strategies or enthusiastically pushed the limits of the failed Tishman Speyer stuff. The fact is that Rose sought the property management responsibility and, after almost two years, it is quite clear that they did not have the competence to deal with the issues and the tasks at hand. But, as with TS, thats what you get when the boss rises to the top mostly because he was born into it.

Remember also that Rose shares responsibility with TS for the fire door violations, for the use of tenant photos for marketing purposes without their written permission in violation of the law, for the failed effort to dump all of the items in storage rooms and for the failure to see that Security enforced the dog rules, etc., etc.===============

Looking for Open Violations - temporarily putting aside the fact that Rose Associates made false certifications about being in compliance, according to HPD, we find a few especially interesting open violations:

ROSE ASSOCIATES DOESN'T WANT US TO SEE THIS: NYC Buildings Cost Affidavit: $652,469.00

Rose Associates, the property manager, doesn't want us to see this. This morning it was ripped off the mailroom wall.

The MCI rent increase of $77.74 per room is based on "OWNER'S CLAIMED COST" OF $1,135,313.50.

However, the cost affidavit, certified under penalty of perjury, says it cost $652,469.00.

No mention of a consultant.
Please go to NYC Buildings to see this document and others.
