The shareholders are delighted with bulk rate ConEdison bills, a gas boiler, a new high efficiency co-generator, and the use of LED fixtures throughout, which greatly reduce the environmental footprint while substantially reducing both the owners and building heating and electricity costs. The hallways, elevators, lobby, gym, community/children’s room, roof deck, and laundry room have been recently renovated with no assessments to shareholders. Washer-dryers are not allowed in individual units. The Amherst has low maintenance bills. Cable companies include Verizon FIOS, Spectrum, and RCN.
