Aside from the occasional attempted robbery or bedbug scare, the problems and complaints in Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village can be broken down into three categories: the foreclosure, dogs and college students. Below are updates of the redundant, but nevertheless important, issues.
First and foremost, the primary lenders (finally) took control of the property last week, which had many residents wondering (and hoping) that the same old problems would finally be resolved. The story was reported by major news publications such as the New York Times and Bloomberg.
You can also find summaries of the situation in local blogs, such as the StuyTownReporter and LuxLiving.
Everything seems to finally be coming together, especially now that Rose Associates have accepted the task of being the new property manager for the complex. Who knows if they will do a good job - one thing that seems reassuring is their ideological Twitter feed, which posts an inspirational quote each day. Thanks RA!
The local newspaper, the Town & Village, has been following the situation extensively. Of course, the newspaper doesn't have a website for you to view the articles and instead asks you to 'get with the times' and follow their Twitter instead - c'mon, everyone else is doing it.
For those who are concerned about students in Stuy Town, be afraid. NYU Local, a blog for New York University students, is encouraging more students to move in!
And finally, a follow-up on those audacious puppies. Yes, we know, they looked really cute in all their little costumes this year at the Halloween Dog Costume Parade (check out pictures in tomorrow's issue of the T&V), but this is just ridiculous!
