Brooklyn Gold

Subject: add +1

put another one on the board. feb 1st will be two months for me. reading the posts on here is unbelievable... everyone is telling the same story... posts to be continued....

I was told that I would be provided a copy of my signed lease when I pick up my keys on moving day, which is supposed to be Jan 30th. If they don't have my keys for me that day, which is starting to seem more and more unlikely, I doubt they will have a copy of my lease either.

I am really looking forward to this whole mess going public as well. It will be in the best interests of the Lalezarian family to get everybody moved in as quickly as possible, both from a PR standpoint as well as a financial standpoint. As horrible as this situation is for everyone here, they must be losing money by not having these apartments occupied. Don't get me wrong, I could really care less that they are losing money, I'm much more concerned about all of us being homeless. But the longer they go with moving all of us in, the longer that will be before any of us start paying them more rent. So hopefully if the media can get involved, it might help speed up the whole process.

And jeneliza3 brought up a good point...how do they expect all of us to move in at the same time when they finally get the CofO? When we set our move-in date, my girlfriend had to reserve use of the freight elevator, which could only be reserved in 2-hour time slots. What's going to happen when all of us try and move in on the same day? I'm sure nobody is going to want to wait any longer just because all the freight elevator reservations are booked up.

This is all true. The move in date , when that does happen will be crazy (from the storage place at 1 Prince street into the actual 277 Gold building).
The temporary Cof O, which I feel they are trying to secure more than the ACTUAL CofO, in order to not let anyones lease reach 90 days w/o execution. The fact of the matter is that we can ALL be left dangling by a wave of temporary after temporary CofO's in oder to keep us from legally voiding the lease and looking for alternate housing. My g/f and I want to start looking for a new place because we MUST leave our current situation. I just don't want to get caught up with 2 signed leases.
And YES....where is the ACTUAL lease we all signed?!

I also was given a Nov 30 move in date and have been going back in forth with Lalezarian and attempting to verify the information with department of buildings. It sounds as though some are getting more generous compensation packages than others. I think we should all talk about what would be a fair compensation package and make the demand that we all receive it, or we attempt at a class action. I know very confidentally that we have a case for reasons that I can disclose if we all meet up in person about it. Is anyone interested? If so, please send me a private message and I will try to organize this. Also, I've put in the same call to Brooklyn Housing and Family Services who was all to familiar with the case when I called, as was the Dept of Buildings, who put me on a list to receive a call from the Commissioner. We cannot stand by and be victimized and I for one refuse to let this continue.

I actually would really like to plan to all get toegther once we're all in and discuss what we should do to make sure that we are compensated equally for all of our troubles. Let me know if you guys are interested.

By the way, there are updated to the Required Items list on the Buildings Dept website as of today, therefore I think this is legit:

Finally some good news! Hope everything works out for all of us. I'll check this site daily for any updates.

I think we can all use a few drinks when this is over

agreed! i'm happy to know that i already like my neighbors! dont want to be a downer, but is it possible that we will have to move out after 90 days?

Has anyone with a Feb 1 move in date heard anything about this one way or another? I saw your positive posts at the end of last week, but I myself haven't heard anything yet and I'm technically supposed to move in on the 1st. If that's happening, I need to know it and start packing. What news, exactly, did you guys get last week?

And ps, yes, I love the idea of meeting for drinks once we're all in the new place. It's nice to know your neighbors, and especially cool to get to know them before you even live there!

I hope there truly is good news for all of us. We're scheduled to move in on Sat and haven't rescheduled the movers, deliveries, or electricity/cable in hopes that there won't be any delays for us and everyone who's been displaced can start moving in this week. We haven't been contacted about any possible delays yet and we're hoping that no news is good news.

If anyone moves in this week, please share that on the board so that we can get excited and celebrate with you!

Hey yo! TCO is posted on Dept of Buildings site! http://a810-cofo.nyc.gov/cofo/B/302/340000/302340072-01.PDF

Of course I find this myself before the building notifies us. Can you say I'm a bit obsessed about this?

i got the same email from lisa that luna1234 got last week. lisa also emailed me today saying that they "should" have the TCO by the end of today and asked what date i would prefer to move my stuff out of storage and into the building. she also said that they are splitting the tenants in storage into several groups to alleviate move-in congestion. i emailed her back asking for a saturday move-in... it's basically the end of the day and no response as of yet...

-apartment less since dec. 1

i'm moving in this saturday evening basically.... can't wait to get in and get settled....and of course, meet all of my neighbors!

i am particularly interested in meeting any fellow cat owners, as i have one, and would love to have someone that would be willing to feed my cat if i happen to go out of town and of course, vice versa. since we are a little off the beaten path, it seems much easier to do internally instead of making friends come over. if interested, push the pm button below and send me a private message.

the 6th is fine with me, jeneliza3

Hey guys - I'm moving in this Saturday along with a lot of you. Does anyone know which cable providers work with our building? I'm trying to shop around for a good deal and am unsure where to start the search. Also, I'd love to meet up in the near future to celebrate the move!

I went with Verizon as well...much better deals than TWC, especially if you only need cable and Internet. TWC had a decent triple play deal for phone, cable, and Inernet if you need all three, but I'm not going to have a landline hooked up in my apt.
