April Rent

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

This is a new letter from Mgmt posted on all floors of 118 East 4th St. It concerns the removal and installation of new mailboxes. The letter is of course not signed or dated. They seem to be asking us as tenants to do their job for them. Considering the inflated rents the new tenants are paying, its a bit insulting.

195 East 4th Street is also a Fortune East owned building going through the same construction nightmares we are going through. More on that later. Here is a description from one of their tenants we are in email contact with, concerning their mail situation.

Do not rent from Ben Shaoul, Magnum Real Estate, Fortune East, or PVE Assoc.

More Fire

At 11:15 this morning we had another fire scare.

Three fire trucks pulled up in front of 118 and 120 East 4th Street.

The incident was in 120. Again. This quote from a TA member residing at 120 will describe the situation.

Speaking of incompetence. From Ben Shaoul, Magnum Mgmt, and Fortune East the flow of incompetence is relentless, and seemingly never ending. We NEVER had any of the problems described in the blog before Mr. Shaoul and his partners purchased our buildings. We used to have a super that lived in 120. He was removed from his apartment so that Fortune East could squeeze out as much profit as they can from these buildings. When our Super lived here he would nip these problems in the bud. There would have been no need of all those fire trucks if he still lived here. Such a waste of taxpayers hard-earned dollars. We are very grateful to the NYC Fire Dept for their quick response.

Do Not rent from Ben Shaoul, Magnum Real Estate, Fortune East, or PVE Assoc.
