peter cooper village

East of 1st Avenue between 23rd and 20th streets. Relatively boring area. Older plain red brick
housing. Desperate for tenants

lorisuer, search for exactly this in google

The search discussions option doesn't work so well for this for some reason but the above google search of the message boards should yield you some decent info.

lorisuer: one of the most unpleasant areas of Manhattan.

Peter Cooper is a great place to live if you like a dictator style landlord, noisy college students, crime, and poop in the hallways:

I had always thought that PCV was supposed to be the better part of Stuy Town?

The above comments regarding PCV/Stuy Town are just untrue, aside from the landlord, which I know nothing of.

I live in Gramercy, west of Stuy Town/PCV, and often jog/power walk through PCV and Stuy Town. Over the last 10 years, like other neighborhoods in NYC, this area has definately improved tremendously. It is a family orientated community, and there are tons of parks, playgrounds and activities right in PCV/Stuy Town. There is a summer 'concert' series along with a farmers market that runs right through. Also, in my walks/jogs i've noticed many new amentities such as lounges, libraries and play grounds in PCV/Stuy Town. There are a lot of new restaurants, etc. all along first avenue which are pretty good.

Like any NYC neighborhood, there are pitfalls. The VA Hospital and the methadone clinic on 24th street bring some seedy types to the area, but hey it's all over the city really, and in the 8 years of living in this area, I've never had one problem, it is VERY SAFE. The East River has lovely paved paths and walkways which are really enjoyable on nice days, and it's a very short walk to the east village and flatiorn. I know from friends in Stuy Town/PCV that they are offering some alluring rent packages and the renovated units are spacious and nice.

PCV is the better part, which is kind of sad for me because I would much rather be closer to 14th. if you are mobile in the slightest this is a good location. you are close to the east village, and a healthy but not too far walk to union square and the flatiron. it's convenience depends on where you work/children go to school. recently someone posted crime rates by neighborhood, PCV and ST had among the lowest crime rates in the city. i really don't notice the VA hospital/methadone clinic effect except in very small pockets (23rd st right in front of the hospital, for example) and even then it never seems threatening.

the renovated units are lovely in pcv, definitely look for a high floor. there is a not so little chance that a bank will become our landlord shortly, and there is also a chance that any market-rate apartment that you rent may revert to RS. the grounds have been looking pretty ratty recently, and the laundry room situation had been awful. i don't know the status now because i gave up and started sending mine out. btw, most of the maintenance crew and the building supers are unbelievably great.

the playgrounds, setting, are lovely. the community is generally quite nice, although the student renters have been annoying some recently. i haven't had any horrible, or even truly bad, experiences relating to the college kids.

it's a viable option. i don't know what rents they are offering, but if they are low enough it is a very good deal, as these are lovely units with great light and high ceilings. and at least we now have five or six restaurants, instead of just one old-time italian (with good pizza, though) and a couple of diners.

PCV was a good deal a few years back when you could get a one bedroom for $1100 and a two bedroom for $1300. The cheap prices and larger apartments (PCV main difference over ST is size) were enough to make up for remote (and often VERY remote) locations, mediocre buildings (red brick like the projects), and lackluster service.

Since ST/PCV started pretending they were "real" manhattan apartments and brought their prices in line with GOOD developments, its just been a horrible, horrible deal.

A tenant told me they have BUILDINGS worth of empty apartments because they can't rent them at these rates.

And absolute nai lin the coffin was them targeting college students for tenants.

At this rate, $1100/$1300 will be hard to get.

Stuvyestant has a nice office chair sitting outside. Too bad I don't have the time to go start getting it. Maybe I can ask one of the people sleeping on the park bench to go get it for me?

THey advertise on the subway now. Like, filling entire train cars with ads. Not that there anything wrong with that, but...they really really really need the money.

Is this when you developed your plan to stay and sue, to win money intended by the taxpayers for the working class of New York City, even though you had knowingly entered, on an arms-length basis into a market rate rental?

Oh, greensdale.
you aren't envious that Peter Cooper doesn't owe you thousands of dollars?
You can work for a living.

Or you can make a living off a lawsuit. Kind of like truth did.

This has been fun, but I'm out of vitriol practice, and frankly I don't give a shit what "truth" the crazed or hb the obsessed have to say. Off to dream of windfalls from unethical landlords.

I write the songs that make the whole world sing

No you don't. You don't get to ask the questions, and you don't get to be a Fanilow.

Truth works for a living.
That's because people pay me to work with them.

No need for landlord windfalls. Or not giving "a shit".
I already earned 30k in the past 5 weeks.

How much do you get for each one?

Anyone who brags about how much they make in 5 weeks is just a pathetic liar. Or, as one put it so eloquently, a true fabulist, which has NOTHING to do with fabulous. If the foo shits, wear it, TRUTH!!!!!!

Riccardo65 has teamed up with aboutready and C0lumbiaC0unty

oh no..yet another episode of "the good life", featuring paris hilton, nicole ritchie, and our very own piece of shit, truth

wbottom/yikes must be a fan of Paris Hilton.
It's time for him to send the alimony check to the ex-Mrs.yikes.
Talking about a "piece of shit".

He's a self-described "one-percenter" who seems to have nothing better to do with his money and time, than to wait for me to post a comment on se.

Riccardo thinks he is in with "in crowd" on se.
He brags about being the First Lady of Opera.

I didn't work every day, the entire 5 weeks to earn that money. Last week was vacation, no work.
No bragging, just a statement of fact.

"Don't call my name Alejandro
I'm not your babe Fernando",
go sing opera, Riccardo
Ric Cassio brags he's a star,
he forgotto:
I have his e-mails
disregardo...

Bragging about: 30k-50k that Peter Cooper owes is really "fabulous".
Certainly for one who is unemployable, yet claims to have a husband earning big bucks, being a partner in one of the biggest law firms.

Go check your e-mail, Riccardo.
There may be more instructions from your gang about se discussions and what comments you should to post there.

Until you are "BUSTED" by NWT, yet again.

Truth, there are 125 varieties of nuts, and you are 124 of them!! At least in the past you made an attempt to sound somewhat sane, but your recent postings show you to be completely insane and horrendously out of touch with reality. You need help, and not a therapist -- but a certified insane asylum where the staff can look after you and protect you from yourself. We spoke in person and I immediately knew you were a desperate, lonely hag looking for company. With 4,800 posts, you probably don't even have time to bathe: I can only imagine the stench that emanates from your rental apartment. You kept trying to come on to me, and I finally had to tell you that I was and always have been gay, and the thought of a fat, horrendously ugly fag-hag like you would make me vomit.

"First Lady of Opera?" Where do you get that? I sang for 10 years as a soloist in Europe and then settled down to being a chorister in San Francisco -- great pay, benefits, lengthy paid vacations, and not much expected of me as long as I sang the "money notes," which I had in spades. I got away with everything because of my high notes. I refused to wear wigs and mustaches because I wanted to sport my platinum do.

"In crowd?" I'm a loner at this stage of my senior life and could care less about such silliness. I wont waste any more of your or my time. And for the record, you don't even know how to spell my name.

I know who I am and what I have acomplished. You are a horrendous loser trying to pull everyone down to your peutrid, shit-filled exisence.

Believe it or not, I feel sorry for you. Perhaps you can't even leave your rented apartment for fear of the rejection you would experience from the "in crowd."

Riccardo65 wins the Pulitzer Prize in Short Nonfiction! A Renaissance man.

Some certain other individual wins disability SSI and an occasional totally frivolous lawsuit. And nothing more, won nor earned. A total unknown in the field she claims to be at the top of.

Sad sad sad sad sad.

So who is your pick Alan?

Hfscomm1

O.K., Ric. You're the man/First Lady of Opera. ( you posted that comment here on streeteasy among other sane realistic comments. NWT reposted some recently for those who missed your sane, realistic comments.)
Although your e-mails to me don't reflect your comments on streeteasy about me.
Nice to know that you "won't waste anymore of your time..."

and "some other individual trying in vain to insult me with the same old false accusations. He's spent the past few years lying and trying. Sad and lonely in his UES co-op.
A total unknown, except on streeteasy.

Maybe he and Ric can have a sleepover.
They both write similar comments about me. Almost to the word.

Hey, you both have mail.

Sucker!!!

^^ Notice that I wasn't talking to him. I wasn't talking about him.^^
Yet, he can't help himself. He must troll me and post his false comments trying to insult me and start an argument.
Just because he doesn't refer to me by name doesn't mean that he's not back to his same old trolling behavior.

Why does Stuy town look like Housing projects, but charge luxury prices?

Where do you live Cliff?
